Well, since the “sovereign citizens” have decided they exist in a Lockean/Hobbesian state of nature, vis-a-vis the rest of the world, it’s hardly surprising when they end up on the wrong end of the “war of all against all”.

(At a theoretical level in terms of social contract theory the “sovereign citizen” movement has something to commend itself, but this is one of those examples where theory and practice are very different: at a practical level they’re complete nutcases.)

Yes, I would expect the chase to have been nasty, brutish, and short.
