"This Is War!"

That's what Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey, in Brevard County says, when he told his citizens to “arm yourselves,” after another shooting in Orlando killed FIVE people. “Folks, now more than ever is the time for our citizens to be prepared to serve as the first line of defense, not only for them, but for their families,” Sheriff Ivey said, in his post on Facebook. He says, among other things, that they must be prepared to be “the first line of defense” in what constitutes a WAR. “What they (terrorists) don’t count on is being attacked themselves, having to become defensive to save their own lives,” Ivey argued. They don't count on being attacked in return, and having to worry about losing their own lives before the cops arrive to kill them. He told them that those precious minutes that go by before the cops can arrive can mean life or death for everybody who isn't armed, and he couldn't be more right. This guy is a “gem” of a police politician. He must be a former “cop in the trenches” to know so much. Police politicians usually aren't that smart. Some people applauded this, but others (fools all) said he was “fear mongering.” Since when is it “fear mongering” to tell people the truth that may keep them alive? (Fox News)
