White Trump supporting domestic terrorist Brandon Fellows wants everyone to know how oppressed he is.  His plight, he says in a new court filing, is comparable (if not worse) than those Black Americans who were denied their rights during the Jim Crow era.  In fact, Fellows asserts, is worse than the conditions Dr. Martin Luther King faced when imprisoned in a Birmingham jail.

In a spectacular 32-page motion, Fellows claims that the limit on his rights cause by his imprisonment with no bail pending his latest trial is a suppression of his human rights because even his “black brothers” were even allowed to go to church during racial segregation in the South.  (Fellows failed to note that unlike him, they weren’t being held in jail without bail.)

“In the event the court or government subtly or outwardly agrees with another often heard dismissive argument that ‘I’m white and shouldn’t/ have no right to relate my suffering to MLK, or others in the black community of that era’, this again is history repeating itself,” Fellows, who is representing himself in court, said.  “The Democrats did the same to the black population in 1950s Montgomery. For many years Democrats argued black people weren’t smart enough, human enough, or citizen enough to vote. They argued they should have no say on voting and tried to silence them or scare them. Race does not matter, Martin Luther King Jr. was a man just as I am, tired of the oppression of his people and hoping for better days.”

Fellows’ motion, speckled with name calling, falsehoods and debunked conservative talking points, is chock full of misrepresentations of law and warped retelling of history, from claiming that the “founding fathers” fled their native countries to pursue religious freedom in the colonies.  (The vast majority of the Founding Fathers were born in the Americas.).

Fellows’ filing demonstrates an individual with little formal education, no knowledge of the law, and an inflated sense of his intellectual abilities.  While his prose is flowery, his logic is fatally flawed thanks to his demonstrated ignorance of the law.  It’s not new:  Fellows dug himself a deeper hole by admitting to committing many of the offenses he’s accused of during a court hearing last year.
