‘We will be notifying your family where to collect your remains, because we will kill you, graveyard dead,’ the sheriff eerily warned Thursday
A Florida sheriff issued a stark message to protesters planning to demonstrate this weekend against increasing ICE arrests nationwide.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned in a press conference Thursday that if any protesters “throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun,” they will be killed.
Protests against the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown have been popping up across the nation after they first erupted in Los Angeles on Friday.
They are expected to continue through the weekend, in alignment with the president’s birthday parade.
I’m not endorsing this but I have to say the title is a bit click baity. This is what he actually says.
“If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains, because we will kill you, graveyard dead."
He didnt say they were about to start shooting people for regular protests.
None of those things automatically give you the right to murder someone. Due process exists for a reason.
