‘KILL THEM ALL,’ CONGRESSMAN CLAY HIGGINS SAYS OF TERRORISM SUSPECTS AFTER LONDON ATTACKS

BY GREG PRICE ON 6/5/17 AT 12:41 PM

Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins, speaking directly to “Christendom,” responded to attacks in London by stating anyone suspected to be an "Islamic radical" should be hunted down and killed in a Facebook post Sunday, hours after seven people were killed and 48 others injured in the British capital.

Higgins, a former law enforcement officer who claimed his seat for the state’s third district last year, was one of many to vehemently condemn Saturday’s attack by suggesting punishments such as death and internment camps.

In the post, Higgins wrote: “ The free world... all of Christendom... is at war with Islamic horror. Not one penny of American treasure should be granted to any nation who harbors these heathen animals. Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter. Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied. Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identity [sic] them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all. -Captain Clay Higgins ”

The post has already garnered more than 2,300 reactions and hundreds of comments. It was accompanied by a photo taken during the van and knife attack at London Bridge, showing a man with canisters strapped to his body lying on the ground. The three attackers were shot dead by police following the attack. It was the third such incident in the United Kingdom in the last three months, including a bombing in May at the Manchester Arena and a car attack at Westminster in March.
