Years ago I lived in Polk County Florida. The current Sheriff there, Grady Judd, has publicly stated he’s going to kick the ass of anybody that comes into that County and starts this crap. He has basically given carte blanche to the private citizens to shoot them if they are attacked. As far as I can see they’re not having any problems. The Lakeland police chief of course is another matter, barf-o-rama.
That would be great!
