ADL: Arkansas Shooting Suspect Was Anti-Government Extremist

New York, NY, May 21, 2010 … A suspect in the shooting deaths of two West Memphis, Arkansas police officers was a member of an extreme anti-government movement, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

Jerry Kane, 44, was part of the sovereign citizen movement – an extreme right-wing movement that believes that virtually all existing government in the United States is illegitimate and which seeks to "restore" an idealized, minimalist government that never actually existed.

Kane was allegedly involved in a May 20 shooting during a traffic stop that left two police officers dead and two seriously wounded. The other suspect in the shooting has been identified as Kane's teenage son, Joseph Kane. Both suspects were later killed in a second shootout with police.

ADL issued the following statement:

The deaths of two police officers in West Memphis, Arkansas represent the latest acts of violence perpetrated by sovereign citizens – a movement which believes the government holds no authority over them. Historically, adherents of the sovereign citizen movement have engaged in a wide array of criminal activities, ranging from issuing threatening documents to carrying out acts of violence.

Loosely organized, the sovereign citizen movement is dominated by "gurus" who travel the country holding seminars to teach their pseudo-legal and pseudo-historical theories. Jerry Kane was one such sovereign citizen "guru;" at the time of the shootouts he was apparently returning from a seminar he conducted in Las Vegas.

If Jerry Kane is proven responsible for these tragic murders, it would be a new page in the same old book for the sovereign citizens, who have assaulted or killed a number of law enforcement officials in the past 20 years, especially during traffic stops.
