Florida GOP candidate facing backlash after calling on citizens to shoot federal agents 'on sight'
https://www.rawstory.com/republican-luis-miguel/A Florida Republican candidate for the House was suspended from Twitter in the final days of his campaign after advocating for Floridians to shoot federal agents on sight, Florida Politics reports.
Luis Miguel, who is running against incumbent Rep. Bobby Payne, was suspended after he tweeted, Under my plan, all Floridians will be able to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF, and all other federal troops on sight. Let freedom ring.
"I'm sorry to have to post this, but this man is running for office in my area. It's real. And it's dangerous," one Twitter user wrote in response to the tweet. "I believe we must turn the mirror in on the lies being used to stir up people for heinous purposes. Someone is going to get killed. My heart is broken."

Why isn't he facing jail time?
Aren't threats of violence illegal?
Oh wait... he didn't say "gay." He's in the clear. (/sarcasm)

They've switched a globalist occupation for a Zionist occupational government and no black helicopters yet, but we're getting there fast.
