With word that an armed militia could be on their way to Lafayette to protest the shooting of Trayford Pellerin, Congressman Clay Higgins had this to say.

Higgins, who was once part of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Department, warned that if armed protesters showed up in Louisiana, they should, "Have their affairs in order."

The Louisiana congressman would go on to say in his social media post, "We don’t want to see your worthless ass nor do we want to make your Mothers cry."

Higgins is now saying that he DID NOT delete his original post.

His original post was very likely taken down.

Facebook shouldn’t have done that; it’s only right they be given fair warning. *snicker*

It seems like the congressman over inflates the amount of power he has. What does the mayor and governor have to say about it?

I dont believe he is talking about in an official capacity.I believe he is talking as a citizen protecting his family and neighbors.

All it would take is a few data farms hit by explosives to shut down Facebook

"1450 FPS fast"

What's that? .45-70? Most ARs hit 3,100 FPS and my old M1A hits 2,800 FPS using government loads.

What's he bring to the fight - a big pellet rifle?

Facebook, twitter and YouTube will probably be the first casualties in the next civil war.
Probably other news media sources.
That is just a fact.

Yea right? Maybe a .22 LR Stinger, or other high velocity .22 Long rifle rounds perhaps.
I don’t know what a shotgun velocity is.

I was thinking the same thnig. I don’t own anything that goes 1450 fps, except a hypervelocity .22 LR, and that’s not the tool I would choose for self defense.

I suspect the gentleman was refering to his favorite handgun round...
