Unlike California, Florida is unquestionably a law-and-order state, thanks in no small part to the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Attorneys General past and present, and the countless police departments and sheriffs' offices across the Sunshine State who put the safety and security of their local communities ahead of political correctness and woke.
On Thursday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier held a press conference to discuss immigration enforcement in light of what Americans have seen unfold in the Golden State, and elsewhere, with the lunatics effectively running the asylum in Los Angeles County until President Trump sent in the National Guard.
While the crux of the presser was to discuss protections for ICE agents who have been under threat of doxxing and violence since immigration sweeps commenced early on in President Trump's second term, the sheriff of Brevard County ended up stealing the show in sharing exactly how he and his deputies would handle violent rioters.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey basically gave the FAFO speech of the year, warning agitators that if they went on the attack, he and his deputies would be responding accordingly:
“You don’t want to let that happen,” Ivey said of [protests that turn violent], spotlighting riots around the country involving buildings being burned down and police cars being “bricked” as examples.
“If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave in our county, you’re most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street,” Ivey continued.
“If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and in jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and jail, and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs that we have here. If you throw a brick, a fire bomb, or a pointed gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We’re not going to play.”
Dunno about anyone else, but if you're like me and are fed up to here with leftist rioters being coddled and treated as though they were the real victims in these so-called protests, Sheriff Ivey's comments were very reassuring.
But that's not what former NBC News "Meet the Press" host and leading Democrat apologist Chuck Todd got out of it:
Hmm. I wonder what part of "violent" Chuck didn't grasp?
That is, unless he somehow actually thinks violent speech expressions involving arson, destruction of property, and assault are also protected by the First Amendment?
We're still waiting on an answer from the Chuckster. And we'll have to assume that if he doesn't, that "silence is violence" because that's how the Democrat games work, right? Stay tuned.
Polk is not the only Fla. county with a righteous Sheriff....
If there is a video it would be nice for someone to post the straight shot to the video.
The video can be found in the article linked by the poster. Two clicks of the mouse is not very hard.
I lived in Brevard county years ago. I now live in Polk county, FL and Grady Judd is the sheriff. I have not heard his take on the riot situation recently, but during the St George Floyd riots he warned protesters that if any of them try to commit arson that he expects an armed citizen to shoot them.
This is the way. 1 Molotov cocktail = 1 summary execution.
Do this a few times and the rest will get the message.
The rioters should thank their pagan pseudogods that my several history of torture books on my shelves are not consulted for how to handle them.
What a breath of law enforcement fresh air.👍
PERFECT !!! But Sheriff You are speaking English and that’s derogatory to THE ILLEGALS !!!
What on Earth are You thinking by speaking Plain English, where’s the translation for the ones that WON’T speak English even though they’re very capable of doing so...
Thanks, that saves having to wade through that site.
The large number of people relocating to Florida just increased.
El RushBo called him Up-Chuck Todd. Still fits.
As a Florida native, I am quite proud to let everybody know, Florida is not like California.
Other Florida sheriffs are on record saying to shoot burglars, etc etc. We’re just not going to play with the revolution cosplay/larping like they do in blue shitholes.
No, Rush called him “F Chuck Todd”
And, as a Florida native AND resident, rabblerousing, illiterate liberal communist troublemakers really need to understand that Florida “out of town” residents are waiting for you to invade our neck of the woods. Most of us own a backhoe and fertilizer is getting really expensive. But don’t let That discourage you. We will welcome you with “open buckets”! Oops...I meant arms.
“If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and in jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and jail, and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs that we have here. If you throw a brick, a fire bomb, or a pointed gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We’re not going to play.”
Good. I’m old enough to remember when looters were shot on sight. Of course, the liberals will claim that tennis shoes are not worth a persons life. But, when it was known that the cost of looting was your life, there wasn’t a lot of looting going on.
