Elijah Manley, who sought the Democratic nomination for Florida’s 20th Congressional District earlier this year, was arrested for allegedly writing threats on social media.
Manley, 27, faces two counts of written threats to kill or do bodily injury.
According to the arrest affidavit, the Broward Sheriff’s Office was notified about two posts on Facebook by an account using the name ‘elijahdmanley.’
“I’m talking to y’all. I saw y’all comments earlier. I’m already pissed off, do not piss me off more. I swear to god, take me to war over this black woman and I promise y’all I will burn y’all mf castle to the ground and anyone else in my way,” one of the messages allegedly read.

NBC 6 South Florida has more:
Manley, the affidavit said, appeared to disagree with other users over Florida U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon.
In another post, the account with Manley’s name wrote, “This the type shii that will make me snap. Any of you that don’t support Angie Nixon, I promise you I will make your life a living h*** to the very end. You better lineup behind the Democratic nominee like we always do,” the affidavit said.
Manley also wrote “Every democrat needs to get behind the democratic nominee for Senate. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your [expletive] head off.”
During the investigation, investigators believed the account did belong to Manley, and contact was made with another user, who told detectives that the comments made put her in fear, the affidavit said.
The user, the affidavit said, told detectives that the account with Manley’s name had been to her residence in the past for political fundraising activities. She also said the comments were made on Aug. 20.
According to WPBF, one of the alleged victims copied the posts and gave them to the sheriff’s office.
Eight days after the alleged comments, detectives met with two people at a residence to obtain sworn statements.
“Castle” in one of the alleged messages referred to their residences, the affidavit said.
Elijah Manley allegedly threatened to behead Democrats who wouldn't back Angie Nixon. He now faces two felony charges.

WPBF noted:
The individuals reported the comments to Facebook. But according to the sheriff’s office report, Facebook stated that the posts failed to meet its safety guidelines for removal.
The report noted that followers of Manley requested that he tone down the rhetoric he was using toward the victim.
“I’m not toning anything down. I’m tired of being told to tone my voice while white people get away with destroying everything. I want all white people to vote for the Democratic nominee,” another post by Manley stated.
WPLG-TV in Miami reported on Saturday, Oct. 17, that Manley was released from Broward County Jail on Saturday after posting $40,000 bond.
Prior to a rare mid-decade redistricting of U.S. Congressional Districts in the state, Florida’s 20th Congressional District, a majority-Black population district, included parts of Palm Beach County, from Belle Glade and South Bay in the west to parts of Royal Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Lake Park, Mangonia Park and Riviera Beach to the east.

No capacity to be told what to do.....that’s how they end up getting shot during interactions with LEOs.
This is a learned behavior. They are taught TO THINK THAT WAY FROMT THE CRADLE..........................
I’ve noticed a lot of this verbal and social media anger from the Left. It’s not enough to state a position or engage in an argument. There is no reasoned argument. They flip instantly to threats and the “f-word” is used to tell you they mean business. “Damit, I’m tough. I’m using the f-word to tell you I’m tough and I mean business. You better do what I want or else. F-you, and double f-you because I’m male and I mean it. Now I’m off to pop a beer and fix a transmission.” Yeah, no mental issues here.
Absolutely. It’s what comes from molycoddling an ethnicity by giving them special treatment for generations instead of requiring them to make an effort in society like the rest of us.
The left?
You might very well be describing free republic in 2026.
blacks have intimidation of White people down to a science.
It doesn’t help that whites have been browbeaten for decades and many now have white guilt because over 160 years ago white Americans owned black slaves.
The part that’s always left out is that black tribes were conquering and selling each other to the slave traders.
I’m sure this guy is one that believes black people somehow cannot be racist.
I can prove that is a myth through 1st hand experience.
“You might very well be describing free republic in 2026.”
The way I read some of the responses is they flow from elderly men who are just too tired or unable to present a coherent thought. The easier approach is to attack you personally, which relieves them of the need to think about where you’re coming from and why they actually disagree. This was my dad in his nineties. With my dad, who I had to engage with, I changed the subject. With the old curmudgeons on FR, I understand where they’re coming from and don’t engage.

I love him. Never saw that one. Thanks.
THEM!
I just discovered it a few weeks ago.
I thought politics attracted the “best” in society. Stupid me.
A maniac explains the blue wave.
The “best” in society want nothing to do with politics, and the Cultural Marxists, who run the government made sure to make it as unattractive as possible for people to want to get involved.
THEY HAVE CRADLES?????????????????
