This story is about a few Moorish Sovereigns claiming they are not U.S.citizens and filing the usual court motions and paperwork that have no standing as way to get out of trouble.
Of course, none of it works.
Joseph Beale AKA Josep-El Bey is accused of shooting a man during a fight in the bar.
Antonio Woodson AKA Infinoty Bey was arrested last year for domestic violence, unlawful imprisonment and assaulting a police officer. He had to be removed by bailiffs during at least one court appearance.
These individuals, along with a few others causing problems in Virginia, claim to associated with The Moorish Science Temple of America. But as noted by Ra Saadi El, the supreme grand sheik in Atlanta at one of the two oldest temples of the Moorish Science Temple of America, “if you’re a Moorish American, you’re a law-abiding citizen…The websites that offer Moor nationality cards, legal advice and documents for a fee are purveyors or bootleggers…They do not adhere to the religion’s principals.”
