Squatter who moved into a stranger's half a million dollar home claiming he 'had a right' to the property is arrested

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Joel Fedd was arrested after he moved into a $500k home bought by a family

Fedd and his nephew posted footage of them walking around the house claiming the owned the land because they were 'Moorish American'

Fedd said he had a right to the property because he was an indigenous Moor and announced that 'we are taking the land back!'

He moved into the house during the week, changed the locks on the doors and put signs on the window saying: 'Do not trespass'

Fedd, 33, was later arrested by police and charged with criminal trespass

WHO ARE 'INDIGENOUS MOORS'?
The Moorish sovereign citizens political movement emerged in the mid-1990s on the East Coast based off the teachings of the Moorish Science Temple, a religious sect dating back to 1913.

MST’s founder Noble Drew Ali taught that black ’Moors’ were America’s original inhabitants and were therefore entitled to self-governing status.

He believed that all African Americans were descendants of the Moabites and are therefore Moorish.

Some Islamic historians believe that the Moors and Moslem groups reached the Americas before Christopher Columbus.

Moorish sovereigns believe this entitles them to claim immunity from federal, state, and local laws and can sometimes cite God’s law or common law over constitutional authority.

They come into conflict with federal and state authorities over their refusal to obey laws and government regulations.

Wikipedia has a fascinating article about the Moorish Science Temple movement, from which the Indigenous Moors and the Nation of Islam are both heretical spinoffs.

#1 Criminals and thugs with religious trappings. Kind of like IS/Daesh but not as brutal - yet.

#4 One of my accounting professors used to have a realty company. He said when they started, they would follow all the legal was to deal with squatters which was expensive and time consuming and they'd always cause a lot of damage before leaving.

Fed up, he discovered the best way was Hired Goons. If he showed up with a pair of lumbering teamsters and just told them "Get out....now." They left with no fuss and no trouble. Way cheaper.

#5 In my neck of the woods I'd call Carmine and he'd send over Sal & Vinny from Malden to 'move them out' - same happy result!

#6 If one claims a different sovereignty that doesn't mean you are immune to laws, that means you can appeal to that other sovereignty for help when you break laws. Since their other sovereignty is fictional a disreputable nation could literally do anything they wanted to these fools until with no legitimate government to complain about it.

#7 Odd how "Hired Goons" can quickly accomplish what even what a modern military force cannot. See Afghanistan.
