Polk County Sheriff Warns Rioters: Don't Take This into Neighborhoods. People Own Guns Here.
George Floyd died at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. It was tragic, avoidable, and the use of force was totally absurd. He was arrested for the nonviolent crime of using false documents. He was handcuffed and subdued. Why did Officer Derek Chauvin put his knee on the back of his neck for nearly ten minutes? Floyd died as a result. He could be heard crying that he could no longer breathe. Chauvin was fired and brought up on third-degree murder and manslaughter charges. The three other officers involved in the incident were also fired. This incident should set off protests. Its outrageous what happened, but its now devolved into rioting, with lefty activists just causing mayhem. Its time to put down the mob.
Minneapolis has been set ablaze, and our own Julio Rosas documented the carnage. Hes covered tons of protests, but never say anything like what he experienced in Mill City. It was total anarchy. Yet, this chaos campaign has spread all over the country. There have been reports of rioters wanting to spread the chaos to the surrounding neighborhoods.
In Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd issued a stern warning to these troublemakers, noting that people in his jurisdiction like guns, own guns, and will be at home with their guns. And if these clowns try to burgle or set fire to houses, Sheriff Judd said, Im highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns (via Fox 13 Tampa Bay):

Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 1, 2020 After protests turned to civil unrest in parts of Polk County Saturday and Sunday, the county issued a local state of emergency and a curfew Sunday and extended it to Monday at 8 p.m., until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said there he does not believe Polk County residents were the ones creating problems.
He said theres a difference between a protester and a rioter and rioting will not be accepted.

Judd said there were rumblings on social media that rioters planned to bring violence into the neighborhoods of Polk County.
I would tell them, if you value your life, they probably shouldnt do that in Polk County. Because the people of Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and theyre going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded, and if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, Im highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns. So, leave the community alone, Judd said.
The sheriff encouraged anyone wishing to express their first amendment right to free speech to keep the focus on George Floyd, who Judd said was the victim who should be honored.
We need law and order back. President Trump has to put down this mob. And thats what this has devolved intoa mob. Protest all you want, folks, but when you start looting and setting buildings on fire, the game is over.
It looks right at home sticking out of my 16" barrel 9mm AR.
Roger that.
DO NOT come to the suburbs - we'd hate to shoot you, but we will.
Nope. You don't have to wait.
You are free to saddle up and go hunting as long as you're willing to suffer the legal consequences.
If you're shooting to defend your home and loved ones you'll get a lot more sympathy from the LEOs and community members than if you play Rambo.
No hogs here. Pistol different from rifle. Only need a 1911 to get to my AR.
Magazine capacity: It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
It would be too bad if something unfortunate happened to the busses.
The only thing that these anti america rat bastard politicians are sad about is they couldn’t disarm us before this, Imagine if they did
True. And always carry a spare mag in case of an irreversible feed, which is not all that uncommon with a semi.
I am not sure that is true anymore.
The "mostly peaceful protesters" provide cover and concealment for the rioters. The same organizations sponsor and assist both groups.
The "Good Guy/Bad Guy" division is successful at confusing opposition and delaying effective responses. We should be going after the sponsors. We are not doing that.
Ah, so you want another Kent State. Got it!
Apparently Antifa is going to abandon the cities, probably because of the National Guard, and move into nearby suburbs.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League sent out a note Today that they have credible information that Chesterfield County, a suburb of Richmond, might be targeted tonight.
Get a shovel, now you got a plan, easier to proceed with the business at hand.
They tried it in an all cop neigborhood last night.The cops had inside info.They were sitting on thier porches locked and loaded.They did set a fire to a house 2 blocks from my Granddaughters.She has a gun and I told her to get a man to stay with her tonight.She is going through a list of the best looking one’s and stocking up on brew.
Wow, you are thick headed.
Not the first time someone's said that to me.
Please elucidate. What exactly would you like to see the LEOs and NG do with that 'fire power' you mentioned?
Are they just going to allow them to loot and burn entire cities nation wide? A show of force is now necessary, in fact, overdo at this point. I’m not sure what that show of force will look like, but it’s come to that now. I would definitely start with non-lethal and overwhelming numbers to quell this, but as the president said, this has to stop. If they escalate then woe to them, I guess we’ll have to play the escalation game. Kent state was an entirely different scenario, where the protesters were assaulting the guard by throwing rocks and bottles at them. That one escalated way too quickly in my opinion.
We can’t just police the law abiding protesters by standing their looking at them. The law abiding ones aren’t the problem. The gangs of thugs are the problem when it comes to destruction. We need to stop the looting and burning or at some point there will be nothing much left to defend anyway.
This is why people keep moving farther and farther away from cities.
That “new urbanism” happy talk of the last twenty years has been exposed as a delusion.
Guns don’t kill people. I kill people.
