Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) said he’d be more than willing to shoot any armed demonstrators in Louisiana in a Facebook post Tuesday that was accompanied by a picture of Black men with guns.

“One way ticket fellas,” he wrote on his campaign account. “Have your affairs in order. Me?... I wouldn’t even spill my beer. I’d drop any 10 of you where you stand.”

“We don’t care what color you are. We don’t care if you’re left or right. If you show up like this, if We recognize threat ... you won’t walk away,” added Higgins, a former police officer.

Facebook confirmed to The Acadiana Advocate that it took Higgins’ post down for violating the company’s “violence and incitement” policies.

Higgins’ also put up a picture of an eagle and wrote that he did not remove the post: “No, I did not remove my post. America is being manipulated into a new era of government control. Your liberty is threatened from within.”

1. There is a 17 year old he can start with

or maybe he only has a problem with African Americans exercising their 2nd amendment rights.

5. Do African Americans have any rights let alone 2nd Amendment rights? n/t

6. That guy in Minnesota who was pulling out his Concealed Carry permit

and got shot to death while doing so did not. This happened a few years ago.

2. Do it. The 11th will run against the person that replaces him.

3. Why is it okay for him to have a gun but not protesters?

4. Because 2nd amendment only applies to white people.

7. He should keep in mind, some people shoot back.

9. Then we get to shoot him and his because they are armed?

10. Maybe I have been watching all the wrong channels...

but it seems to me that almost all the armed protesters have been magats, b bois, or militia types obsessed with white supremacy.

I agree, they all need to be shot. But we must wait until after the election when they take to the streets to protect their "boy", the turd, after he loses in a landslide and the "red mirage" is shown to be the hallucination that it is. Then we can do it to defend the constitution. You know, water the tree of liberty...

FINALLY we have something to agree about.

or not?

11. Higgins and Ken Buck need to start a mutual masturbation society.

12. That really sounds like anyone who sees him should

be scared for their safety and the safety of others around them.

I’ve heard there are things you can do when someone scares you.

13. We all know the laws will change when black people start showing up with AR-15s

They’ve done it before

14. All Bluster

I assume this guy, Clay Higgins, is all bluster. I would not be surprised if this guy turned to mush the moment someone confronted him. Also, we all know that regardless of what Higgins said his post had everything to do with race and politics. Is there any evidence that Higgins has said anything like this in regards to white Republican leaning men with guns? He only posted what he posted because the people with the guns do not look like him and do not agree with his politics.
