“In a rare display of support for the right to life and liberty and self-defense upheld by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, one Florida Sheriff has publicly warned protesters to stay out of suburban neighborhoods because people in his county like guns and will use them. Grady Judd, Sheriff of Polk County, Florida, says he received information from social media that Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters in his county were planning to ‘take their criminal conduct’ into the neighborhoods. ‘I would tell them if you value your life you probably shouldn’t do that in Polk County,’ he says during a press briefing, ‘because the people in Polk County like guns, have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and they’re going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded. And if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of their house with their guns. So leave the community alone.’”
