Sovereign Citizen's Widow Sues Police For Gold Over Husband's Shootout Death

[RamboLiberal]

A Florida woman is suing the police department in West Memphis, Arkansas for the deaths of her husband and stepson, who were killed in a shootout after opening fire on two police officers last year.

Donna Lee Wray-Kane filed a lawsuit in Florida District Court over what she calls "torture killings and civil rights violations," and is asking for damages of at least $75,000 each for the deaths of her husband and stepson -- to be paid in gold "at $38 per troy ounce," according to the complaint.

Jerry Kane and his 16-year old son Joseph were driving a white van in West Memphis in May of last year, when two police officers pulled them over in a routine traffic stop. Joseph Kane pulled out an AK-47 and killed both of the officers. Kane and his son were killed shortly thereafter in a shootout with police in a Walmart parking lot, in which two other officers were wounded.

As TPM reported at the time, Jerry Kane held anti-government views, many of which were in line with those of sovereign citizens, who believe almost all forms of government are illegitimate. Justin Elliott wrote last May:
