Kill them all’: GOP congressman calls for war against radical Islamists By Peter Holley June 5 Play Video 1:40 Meet the Louisiana lawmaker calling for a holy war against radical Islam Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) is a first-term congressman and former captain of the St. Landry Parish sheriff's office. (Thomas Johnson/The Washington Post) When Clay Higgins was a sheriff’s department spokesman in rural Louisiana, his rare candor precipitated his downfall, but not before it catapulted him to online fame and, more recently, a seat in the U.S. House. Like another Republican politician who rode a populist wave to Washington this year — also with a penchant for making controversial statements off the cuff — the newly elected congressman finds himself under fire for making controversial statements about Islam. “Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter,” the Louisiana Republican posted on Facebook on Sunday. “Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied. Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identify them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.” [Meet the ‘Cajun John Wayne,’ the deputy whose meme-worthy videos terrify criminals] Higgins’s statement — which has been shared more than 2,500 times and spawned 1,400 comments — was released hours after three men using knives and a vehicle killed seven people during a bloody rampage in central London. Saturday night’s attack wounded dozens, including four police officers. Eighteen people remain in critical condition. On Facebook, some users responded to his message with dismay. “Wow, you are no better than a terrorist,” Misty Johnson wrote. “I’m more afraid of people like you than a refugee who was vetted for 2 years by 7 Intel agencies. I think we need better vetting for our representatives. You are an unhinged lunatic and playing right into what ISIS wants.” “This is extremely hateful,” Tyler F. Thigpen wrote. “I didn’t vote for you, but you represent me and I’d like to hear a lot less hateful speech from the politicians that serve me.” Reached by phone, Higgins told The Washington Post that he was surprised that his message was interpreted by some as hateful or an indictment against Islam — in fact, he said, he didn’t view the post as controversial at all. He said he was calling for the death of Islamic terrorists, not peaceful Muslims. When he used the word “Christendom,” he said, he was referencing the Western world, not calling for a war between Christianity and Islam. Working in law enforcement, Higgins said, he interacted with people from different faiths and backgrounds and has always respected people based on “what was in their heart.” “I can tell you that there weren’t many Muslims in that part of Louisiana, but those that I have met have been very cool and very loving,” Higgins said. “Many Muslims are American citizens and I’d give my last life’s blood for any one of them, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to speak out boldly and from my heart about the threat we face as a nation and as a world.” Higgins said he decided to speak out on Facebook after seeing news coverage of the London incidents, which occurred several weeks after a suicide bomber’s attack that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Higgins said he was deeply affected by both attacks and believes some Americans fail to realize our society is at war with an enemy who must be killed to be defeated. “I think I’m well-documented as being a compassionate, loving human being,” he said. “But I got no love for people who blow up children at a concert. What kind of a man would strap a bomb to his chest and blow up children?” “I’m passionate about it because I love my fellow man,” Higgins said. “I would remove those that would destroy the innocents amongst my fellow man.” Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free!

[‘Cajun John Wayne’s’ viral video warns burglar: ‘I’m about to make you famous’] Higgins’s willingness to speak his mind brought him notoriety in the historic heart of Cajun country, where Higgins was a spokesman for the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office in Opelousas from December 2014 until he resigned in March 2016. A muscled Army veteran and hardened street cop who rarely cracked a smile, Higgins had an intimidating on-camera appearance on weekly “Crime Stoppers” segments that garnered a cult following. His stern demeanor, back-country drawl and made-for-TV one-liners explain why, in towns across southern Louisiana, he became known as the “Cajun John Wayne.” Higgins had a habit of looking into the camera and speaking directly to suspects, such as Ladarious Young, a fugitive whom Higgins instructed to turn himself in to “start to make things right” in a 2015 video. “You can’t run from your own guilt, son,” Higgins said into the camera while discussing Young, a local fugitive who was accused of assaulting a woman with a beer bottle. Young was also linked to a casino heist. “You can’t hide from what you’ve done, and you’ll never escape … the long arm of the law,” Higgins added on KATC, the ABC affiliate that delivers Crime Stoppers to eight parishes (counties) across southern Louisiana. Higgins resigned after he appeared in a viral video calling a group of predominantly black gang members “thugs,” “heathens” and “animals.” “We have felony warrants for your arrest,” Higgins said directly into the camera in the video, holding a semiautomatic assault rifle. “You will be hunted. You will be trapped. And if you raise your weapon to a man like me, we’ll return fire with superior fire.” Higgins’s tough talk led to criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union and Higgin’s own boss — St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz — who called on his spokesman to “tone down” his unprofessional comments. Higgins said he couldn’t follow Guidroz’s orders and resigned instead. “We live in a system of laws, and there are legal rights that apply to everyone,” the ACLU said in a statement sent to KATC. “It is the job of law enforcement to protect those rights while also keeping our communities safe. Nothing that Mr. Higgins said will make his community safer, but there is much to suggest violations of fundamental rights of all. … In doing so he must honor the laws of this country, or he is unfit to serve.” After he resigned from law enforcement, the Lafayette, La., Advertiser reported that a Republican campaign staff member recognized Higgins’s political potential and recruited the outspoken Louisiana native to run for office in the state’s 3rd Congressional District. After finishing second in the primary, defeating former Louisiana lieutenant governor Scott Angelle, he arrived in Congress the victor of a hard-fought runoff election in which he captured 56.1 percent of the vote, the paper reported. He replaced six-term Rep. Charles W. Boustany Jr. (R), who unsuccessfully ran for a Senate seat. “Higgins presented himself as a blunt-speaking everyman,” the Acadiana Advocate reported after his December election. “He benefited from the surge of angry voters energized by Donald Trump to go the polls in November. The question going into Saturday night was whether those occasional voters who cast ballots for Trump would return for Higgins or whether the supporters who have backed Angelle over the years could outnumber the angry voters backing Higgins.” In recent months, Higgins has become a vocal supporter of President Trump’s travel ban. In January, he delivered a speech on the House floor in support of the ban, according to ABC affiliate KATC. The statement cited his experience in law enforcement and blamed the “liberal media” for “irresponsible rhetoric” surrounding the ban. “President Trump’s order is not a betrayal of American values,” he said at the time. “His actions inspire hope to the millions of Americans who have watched our nation decline over the past decade, watched helplessly as Radical Islamic horror has gripped the world and … unbelievably … been allowed into our own nation with wanton disregard.” Last month, the congressman posted a video on Facebook that showed him wearing a SWAT vest, firing a rifle and calling for constituents to vote Republican to send a strong message to socialists.

Same old Zio myths thrown in our faces. Same old hate propaganda. Those idiots apparently do not realize or care their saber rattling has an effect on gas prices. Saber rattling causes oil prices to go UP. Russia and Iran are doing a fine job eradicating ISIS. They don't need our help.

shawnee_b Edmonton, KY 62, joined Apr. 2010	Meet the ‘Cajun John Wayne,’ the deputy whose meme-worthy videos terrify criminals By Peter Holley May 6, 2015 Lt. Clay Higgins, spokesman for the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office and video star. (KATC) About an hour’s drive from Baton Rouge, La., in the historic heart of Cajun country, a beacon of justice has risen from the murky swamps to bring order and civility to the land. His name is Lt. Clay Higgins, and he is the spokesman for the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office in Opelousas. A muscled Army veteran and hardened street cop who rarely cracks a smile, Higgins may be the most irresistibly intimidating man in America. He is the rising star of weekly Crime Stoppers segments that have garnered a cult following in the four months since he first went on air. His stern demeanor, back-country drawl and made-for-TV one-liners explain why, in towns across southern Louisiana, he is quickly becoming known as the Cajun John Wayne. “I got chills just listening to that man talk,” a fan wrote recently on Facebook. “You scare me. In a good way. Makes me feel safe,” wrote another. “Chuck Norris just got replaced,” a third person declared. Criminals, it seems, are listening, too. On April 9, Higgins looked into the camera and told Ladarious Young to turn himself in to “start to make things right.” “You can’t run from your own guilt, son,” Higgins said into the camera while discussing Young, a local fugitive who was accused of assaulting a woman with a beer bottle. Young was also linked to a casino heist. “You can’t hide from what you’ve done, and you’ll never escape … the long arm of the law,” Higgins added on KATC, the ABC affiliate that delivers Crime Stoppers to eight parishes (counties) across southern Louisiana. The next day, authorities said, Young walked into the sheriff’s office and surrendered, telling officers the broadcast had persuaded him to do the right thing. In some quarters, including pockets throughout southern Louisiana, the relationship between police and the citizenry can be fragile, if not fraught. Just this month, in nearby Lafayette, a sheriff’s deputy and a state trooper were arrested and accused of planting drugs on a suspect. Days later, a sheriff’s deputy in the state was shot three times in an apparent ambush. With videos of police using lethal force going viral with increasing regularity and distrust of law enforcement running high in some communities, Higgins offers a compelling counterpoint. “I think the reason that he’s striking so many people is that he’s a man’s man, but he’s got empathy,” Alex Labat, a KATC anchor, told The Washington Post. “We hear things about law enforcement and the excessive force that they use, but the only weapon Clay Higgins uses are his words.” Letitia Walker, KATC’s news director, told The Post that the response from viewers has been overwhelming, with many DVRing Higgins’s segments or demanding the station put them online minutes after they air. “He’s truly authentic,” Walker said. “Nothing is written for him. We show up, and he turns it on, and we just press record. He does everything in one take.” Higgins’s most memorable expressions, such as “have your affairs in order” — which he growled during a segment in which he promised to hunt down a generator thief — are inspiring memes and being repeated by fans who swarm the lawman in public, Walker said. Until recently, being on television was never part of the plan, according to Higgins, who took time away from hunting down an escaped murderer to chat with The Post one recent afternoon. (The killer was eventually captured, Higgins noted later.) For the past seven years, he worked the night shift in St. Landry Parish, a risky, isolated job in which he could go hours without seeing another officer. “There’s less violent crime in rural areas, but when you go to a disturbance or burglary, you can be a long way from backup,” Higgins, a father of three, told The Post. “Gotta be able to handle your business.” In December, Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz asked Higgins to become the department spokesman. Higgins, who has no experience in communications, cautiously agreed and quickly found himself reading from a weekly Crime Stoppers script that he just couldn’t stomach. It was too canned and unnatural, he told producers, reminding them that he’s not an actor. Tossing the script, Higgins listened to his gut, drawing on 17 years of law enforcement experience. “I told my wife I was gonna speak the truth,” he told The Post. “That’s how I’ve done it on the street for many years with suspects, criminals and victims alike. People don’t want to hear political crap, they want to hear the truth.” Perhaps no video better demonstrates Higgins penchant for speaking from the heart than a recent Crime Stoppers segment in which he appeared at a World War II memorial to express his disgust for a Romanian scammer. “If you’re a foreigner, stealing from our elders from far across the sea, listen to me — you’re the lowest of the low,” he says in the clip Higgins rarely expresses contempt for the suspects he’s hunting. “A convict is not necessarily a bad person,” he told The Post. “I’ve met many convicts I can trust and very few attorneys. I’ve always spoken on a straight man-to-man basis to suspects I’ve arrested.” His own failures in life, he said, have made him less willing to judge the people he puts behind bars. It’s an attitude he’s developed over a lifetime of personal successes, mistakes and tragedies. Between 1989 and 1991, Higgins lost his father, his daughter and his wife in three separate tragedies. After six years in the Military Police Corps, he managed car dealerships but found himself longing for law enforcement. He left a job making $130,000 a year for a job making $8 an hour. “It was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life,” he said. “I’ve been a workaholic, had marriage failures and took a lot of ass-whippings in life. Gradually, I reached the conclusion that I needed to be a cop again. I became a better man and husband and father and Christian and more at peace with myself. I found my true purpose.” The sense that Higgins knows exactly who he is explains why people find him so trustworthy, Walker said, noting that suspects’ families have begun calling him to personally turn their loved ones over to him. When people make mistakes, Higgins said, he expects them to “take their licks like a man.” “You may as well turn yourself in,” he told two wanted men during a March segment. “You know the company you keep, so you also know, our phones are already ringin’.” After each new video is shared with viewers, Facebook messages pour into the St. Landry Crime Stoppers Facebook page. They often express a mixture of intimidation and adoration. “Great messages, Lt. Higgins!” a woman wrote. “If I were breaking the law in these parts, I would definitely NOT want to meet you. You’re the best law enforcement spokesman I’ve seen anywhere in a long time. Keep up those great messages and thank you for serving our community and keeping us safe. God bless you and keep YOU safe, sir. “You are too kind Ma’am,” Higgins responded the next day. “Thank you. … and may I say, what a lovely lady you are, holding your adoring Black Lab. Happy Easter.”

I wonder why he isn't doing anything about ANTIFA going after the Confederate statues in Louisiana? Is it because ANTIFA is J()()ish and not muslims? Hmm... [Edited 6/10/2017 10:20:54 PM ]
