I think what this sheriff did was smart . He's got criminals thinking twice about thier decisions. I'm all for it , we shouldn't have to work hard for everything we enjoy for someone to just decide they want it with no consequences
It actually stopped it in it's tracks. 0 home invasions in his county, even up to a year after the fact, ever since the presser he gave! Love your sheriff! god bless
If you never want to get shot while intruding into someone else's home without their permission then by all means never enter someone else's home without their permission
Most of the sheriff's in Florida are just like that and that's the way it should be. You have a right to protect yourself if someone busts in your door regardless of what state you live in
@@Chadrocker53 ;Not necessary in Florida. Florida is a Castle Doctrine state and you have the same right of self defense inside your home, your property and inside your car. The socialist/marxist/communist/democrat totalitarian thug party that controls the fake news calls it the "stand yore ground law".
@ the fool above, who takes the Presidents name in vain: how're you liking Biden; do you reckon he’ll get any better? Hey, how does it feel to support a fascist bunch of corrupt, China loving, information-suppressing, freak, deviants, and incompetents?
@Donald Trumpushki Yes , because of Thieves and Liars like yourself ,But now Elon Musk will turn the tables and ensure people like you cannot Steal and Cheat the Truth LOL
EXACTLY!!! Why should criminals be afforded the same rights as law abiding citizens? It’s time to quit treating them with kid gloves. Put teeth back into the laws!
I love Tyrus but the whole "your gun will be used against you" is ridiculous. If you are that outclassed, you were already at the mercy of the criminal
This old lady in my county shot a crazy guy who was trying to get into her house twice with a 12 gauge. Her porch was covered in blood but the guy managed to run off. The sheriff never could find the guy even after checking the hospitals in the region so he told the lady as far as I’m concerned, you missed him.
It's also possible they could forget their gun in the burger king bathroom. There is a good chance you take better care of your guns than pasco sheriff does lmao
In the 80’s the city of Kennesaw Georgia was experiencing a massive crime wave. The city passed a law saying EVERY household was required to have a firearm. While this was completely unenforceable, the home invasion/burglary rate went down by 89%. When the Prosecutors and “Legal” system will not commit to justice, the populace must.
As a 30 years law enforcement officer who has seen criminal after criminal walk away with a slap on the wrist I fully support this fantastic stance. That’s a real Sheriff right there.
The actually west didn't have many gun fights, simply because everyone was armed. It was due to Wyatt Erp during the 1920's, when he was in Hollywood as a paid expert for many early western movies that brought this to what most people think of how the west was.
I live in Santa Rosa county. It's a small county and it's actually VERY safe. I leave my car running and unlocked when I run into the store without a second thought. I don't know anyone that's ever had their home broken into. So I don't get why this announcement was made.
Well, it just makes logical sense. Shot Invader = less chance law-abiding citizens get hurt, no repeat offending, a great deterrent for others, less paperwork for the police, less overcrowding in prisons, lower crime stats, less scumbags in the world. What's not to like?
On the other hand, those who will continue to break the law will act more brutal. It's the main reason why most crimes with a real gun punished by bigger prison times.
@@mytiliss682 Then we get a bigger gun. It's time to fight and we the one that set up the tone and not the criminal. Evil win when the good lost their balls!!
@Mytiliss < Criminals already carry and kill, push people into subway trains, beat old people to death, drive cars into parade crowds. THEY can't get any more brutal. But WE CAN! You miserable Dim-o-Druggie failure.
I have lived in Florida most of my life. What this sheriff said is just basically common sense down here, it's not like we're thinking about Option B. Another favorite sheriff is Sheriff Grady Judd from Polk County, another common sense, no frills needed sheriff.
I know Grady Judd said the same thing this Sheriff said but he started about 2 years ago when they were burning and looting everywhere he said he encouraged his residence to blow the people out of their house. Sheriff Grady Judd is the best law enforcement officer in our nation! He's a man who truly cares about his community!
i gotta admit, i kind of liked the whole idea of automatic weapons being regulated and a little more difficult to get your hands on. i'm sure it always seems like a smart idea before they started putting the boots to you, then you kind of start rethinking that whole regulation thing.
God Bless the Sovereign State of Florida and its Constitutional Republic. You don't mess with Florida. Take a gun safety course. Guns save Lives. Michael Loftus' laugh should be on a tape. It fills in for lack of audience 👏 👏 Great show !
I have had my pistol for 25 years. No person has ever been shot, YET. I have taken gun safety classes a CWP class, and classes for speed and accuracy. I think I can handle it.
Imagine being a Criminal and you're told that people are more than welcome to prevent you from hurting people, instead of being told that they will be paid not to hurt people? which one is more likely to prevent crime?
@@David-ve5iq let me guess you’re a democrat! When you have nothing of value to add you make up stupid comments that have nothing to do with the subject. So typical
Greg, you don't want to ruin your hard wood floors with the entrails of an intruder but would you rather the intruder ruin your floors with your entrails? If criminals realized that they might go in but not come back out, it might make some of these criminals think before breaking into families homes, because what do most family's have, children. When you start messing with children, that's the quickest way to end up in a body bag.
Even knowing they may be shot, they still break in. What most do, though, is knock on your door, and if no one answers they assume no one is home. Usually they are correct. But sometimes the owner is like me. I don’t answer my door if a stranger knocks.
I've always lived in Florida. That's always been the obvious thing that's going to happen if someone breaks in. I don't even see why this is news aside from someone finally not being scared to say it.
@@rosssoyka860 my condolences if they are from nj,nyc hopefully they won't turn fl into a ghetto infestested craphole. I think if they try to turn fl blue you should have the right to shoot them.
Exactly and only they have brought it upon themselves! They sure wouldn’t like it if someone busted into THEIR home would they? They’d be real quick to protect their stolen goods with their stolen guns! Your life doesn’t matter to them one bit🤬🤬🤬
I did too lol. Wait til they see him. Lmfao. This isn't a joke here. We take protection of our families dead serious and will make you dead if you threaten them
@@elizabethannedavis5176 I LOVE the presser he gave a couple of years ago, during the BLM, "Peaceful protests". I'm sure that you know the video I'm talking about. Pure Legend ❗I am thrilled that Santa Rosa County is on board with self-preservation and providing education on firearm safety.
Kat is spot on. The Sheriff's like this one and the others like him make it a pleasure to live here in Florida. The fact that we are allowed to defend ourselves like the Constitution states here is a blessing. Don't believe me? Look at California & other Democrat ran states and cities. It's Anarchy
I think after the next election cycle there should be a major Law and Order push. Take back our communities. Don't have to make a bunch of new laws just enforce the laws on the books.
If we don't enforce the laws in the books at some point vigilantism will start to look good. It's not good, but as the system breaks down that's what you're going to get. People that have just had enough and take the law into their own hands judge jury and executioner.
I used to live right next-door to Bob Johnson… He is 100% grit but one day he came to the house to personally warn me to keep the kids inside because there was a dangerous situation in our area. He’s a genuinely good guy.
The sheriff just re-enforces what a lot of cops I knew told me years ago: "The only thing that keeps a scumbag in line is fear! Fear of what you'll do to him! Nothing else works!" And Tyrus is right, if you're buying a gun for home protection get some training in how to use it! It will do a lot of work for you, but it won't do ALL the work for you and it certainly won't THINK for you.
Same thing I learned in my youth about bullies. Humans at their core are not good, as naive people like to think, rather humans are creatures are creatures of chaos. Fear & Awe is what keeps humans in line and if they have nothing to fear, they do whatever they want.
Addendum: It takes very little training to handle a shotgun effectively for home defense. Most crooks p1ss their pants when they hear that racking sound & see the barrel coming round. Even if, by some miracle a near miss occurs within the confines of a home, the loud kaboom & flying debris near the target is usually enough NO sane person will stick around to see if the 2d shot also goes wide... also, less chance of over-penetration, ready ammo availability, numerous options in ammo, easy to reload can't ever really be accused of carrying a concealed weapon, not even in your yard. Really, If you are under 8 feet tall, 400lbs, people are going to notice the shotgun.. If u are that big, u don't need a gun. :)
@@davidfisher5140 Good advice. The only things I can add are even in the most firearm restrictive juristictions a shotgun is typically the easiest firearm to buy, so don't obsess if you can't get a pistol or revolver. Second, you don't need to go super-big with a shotgun, at in-home distances a 20 gauge is good enough. It's easier for most family members to handle as well.
Well in Florida it was another sheriff when asked, "Why was the suspect shot 68 times?" The individual in question had killed one deputy and a K9 and shot a second deputy who survived. Replied, "That was all the bullets we had."
2 physicians I work with were shot dead by intruders - different locations and several years apart. Worthless criminals took the lives of family men who dedicated themselves to taking care of others. If you're not seeking entry into a residence with bad intent, that you haven't been invited into - you've got nothing to worry about. Bravo Sheriff!
Kat, of course this is a contravercy. After all, we live in a time when certain people are calling good evil and evil good. And the longer the criminal record you have, the better they like you and the higher your status is as a "role model."
@Donald Trumpushki < Overthrowing your Dim-o-Druggie criminal coup regime would NOT be insurrection. It would be patriotism, taking back our country, our safety, our schools, our freedom, our lives.
Every city needs a sheriff like this. It really is just common sense though. If you come in my house uninvited don't be surprised when you get shot. I keep my doors locked for YOUR protection, not mine.
the left begged for "community policing", well here it is! this sherriff is trying to make my #1 position, but Sherriff Grady Judd will always be there.
Criminals are like cockroaches, this Sheriff’s no nonsense spray sends them reeling into the next county over for cover. The more counties to adopt these attitudes, the further these roaches have to run.
I live in Santa Rosa County Florida, and I'm just as proud of my Sheriff as I am my Governor! Two freedom lovin, common sense lovin, gun lovin, God lovin and liberal hatin gentleman, that KNOW how to do things RIGHT. They LISTEN to the people that they represent! So our good sheriff also knows, myself and most of us good ole boy's here in the panhandle of Florida. Know how to handle a gun and how to shoot straight. Just like my two adult daughters and their momma. I for one will, confidently defend my home and especially my family....without hesitation and without fear! And that is THE same way, everyone else I know feels about what to do when someone breaks into your home or business. Shoot first..... Then call the cop's and the ambulance for the intruder!
*Not to put too fine a point on it, however Sheriff Johnson's advise means "let 'em bleed out then call us for the tag 'n' bag work". Coroner report always costs county taxpayers less than hospitalisation and a trial. Cheers!*
I love this sheriff...that has always been exactly what I intend to do if I ever catch someone in my house. I dont care if they are armed or not...they are dead.
Too many people complain because they rely on the police to protect them. You're just going to accept the fact that you're going to have to protect yourself. So, get off your butt, gun up, and clean out your neighborhood. With extreme prejudice.
Although I genuinely applaud the sentiment, I can’t help thinking that if such an event should happen, your words just might land you in prison. Say nowt, about owt, and do what you have to do.
People that commit home invasions home robberies have a certain mindset that makes them dangerous. These are some of the most hated people out there. These people rarely stop what they are doing and some of them are capable of great violence.
I agree! To them your life doesn’t matter but your stuff sure does! Free stuff! They plan on taking all they can get away with until they can’t no ‘mo!
He just broke into four houses prior to that. Chased a woman into her house right before she closed and locked the door with her children there. Broke into this other gentleman's house then go through the window. He's been a felon since he was 13 years old. And was in prison until he was 18. Shortly after we release he committed these! crimes.
I don't sleep that light... If a door opens the still pressure will change and wakes me Everytime... Next best thing, get a dog or a bird, typically both will voice when they see someone they're not sure of, and give you time to grab your "peace"... Good luck to you my down under friend!
And, Florida has a law on the books called, the Castle Law, which protects the homeowner in the event the homeowners injures or kills the home invader while in the process of entering the homeowners dwelling.
When Antifa came to Lakeland Florida our sheriff warned them off by saying our citizens like their guns and know how to use them and we encourage them to protect themselves and their property. Next day no more antifa and no more would be rioters. The right to self defense works.
I’m surprised criminals continue to commit crime in Florida. I agree to make sure there’s no pulse on a criminal. They can’t survive to seek revenge and sue‼️
