Sheriff Judd on looters: “You shoot him so he looks like grated cheese!”

Polk County, FL: The outspoken and popular Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd, has publicly told Floridians to defend their property, with deadly force, if necessary, against looters looking to cash in on the devastation Hurricane Ian has left behind. According to Sheriff Judd, he wants looters to ‘look like grated cheese’ if they encounter an armed Floridian willing to protect their property. Hurricane Ian, a category 4 storm, left much of the west coast of Florida in ruins after enormous amounts of rain and extremely strong winds ripped through the area. According to a Fox Weather column:“Ian made landfall Sept. 28 in the Fort Myers area as a Category 4 hurricane. The ferocious 150-mph winds pushed ashore feet of water from the Gulf of Mexico that tore through homes and businesses along the coast.” “The following day, Ian crossed the Florida Peninsula diagonally and dumped flooding rain on the interior and blew in storm surge along the opposite coast from where it made landfall.” The hurricane left over 13 million without power, millions of dollars in damage and growing, and took over 100 Floridian lives, many of whom were senior citizens. After a devastating event like that will always come opportunists looking for an easy score. With many homes being either vacation or seasonal homes, it made it even more appealing to low-lives looking to loot.The Lee County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said they made multiple arrests for looting after Hurricane Ian slammed the southwestern portion of the state.https://t.co/ia5N0vrboZ — ABC News 4 (@ABCNews4) October 3, 2022 And as expected, it brought on some looters. Following the Hurricane’s aftermath, police arrested four illegal aliens for allegedly looting and taking advantage of residents in peril, many who lost everything. The looters are lucky to be alive. As Governor Ron DeSantis reminded everyone in Florida that they are a second amendment state and unlike their blue state counterparts, they don’t protect criminals. In a press conference issued by Gov. DeSantis, he stated: “Don’t even think about looting, don’t even think about taking advantage of people in this vulnerable situation.” “‘You could have people bringing boats into some of these islands and trying to ransack people’s homes,’ DeSantis said. ‘I can tell you in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home. And I would not want to chance that if I were you given that we are a second amendment state.’” Polk Country Sheriff Judd doubled down on the Governor’s warning to anybody considering looting neighborhoods affected by the storm. Sheriff Judd is similarly known for his abrasive, hold-no-punches-back approach to crime and criminals. He is well known in the law enforcement community around the nation for his epic quotes during press conferences.Judd once called an intruder arrested for stealing Christmas gifts from a single mother a ‘grinch with eggnog for brains.’ In another statement regarding a homicide investigation, he told reporters to ‘chill out, eat a moon pie, quit murdering people.’ A fan favorite- Sheriff Judd spoke of capturing a fugitive. He told the press the fugitive had ‘a rush of testosterone and a rush of idiocy.’ Those are just three of his unique statements- among countless others. Now he added another instant classic warning would be looters of what could happen and what he hopes to see happen.In a press conference, Sheriff Judd stated: “‘People have a right to be safe in their homes. They have a right to their property, to be safe even when part of their home maybe torn away,’ Judd said. ‘And these looters, that’s unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. I would highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes into your home while you’re there to steal stuff that you take your gun and you shoot him.” “You shoot him so he looks like grated cheese because you know what? That’s one looter that will not break into anyone else’s home and take advantage of them when they’re the most vulnerable and the most weak.” Polk County Sheriff Judd and Gov. Ron DeSantis both mean business when it comes to protecting property and protecting the livelihoods of those impacted from Hurricane Ian.It comes at a sensitive time where many people lost everything they had, including the lives of family members and are at their lowest. They want to know that the government and law enforcement community has their backs- like every state should. More on Sheriff Judd. Wish granted: Disney bus driver said he would go to jail for 15-year-old. Sheriff Grady Judd made it happen. Posted June 21, 2022POLK COUNTY, FL – The furrowed brow and frown on the face of Zachary Hudson, a Walt Disney World bus driver, pretty much says it all. Hudson was among a group of 12 people arrested recently by a team of Florida law enforcement agencies running an undercover operation targeting online sexual solicitation of minors. Beginning June 2, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Auburndale Police Department and Winter Haven Police Department jointly conducted the two-week long “Operation Child Predator II.” We call these guys “the worst of the worst” – these 12 were arrested after chatting with undercover detectives online – NOT the children they thought they were grooming & soliciting.

Those arrested range in age from 20 to 67 years old and they face a total of 49 felony charges. Four of the suspects allegedly showed up to an undercover location multiple times in Polk County to meet with whom they believed to be children “to sexually batter them,” the agency said. There is always at least one WDW employee caught in the child predator stings, as evidenced by the number of YouTube videos from the PCSO going back several years. Hudson, 30, told police that he’s a bus driver at Walt Disney World and his mugshot was taken while he was wearing his uniform. Officials said Hudson engaged in sexual conversations with the undercover detective while Hudson was on the clock at Walt Disney World. According to the PCSO, Hudson engaged in online conversations with a detective who posed as a 15-year-old girl. When the undercover detective asked Hudson if her age was okay, he allegedly asked “my being older doesn’t bother you” and later said “age is just a number,” according to officials. When the conversation moved to texting, Hudson allegedly described what he wanted to do to the 15-year-old girl sexually, adding that he would be “honored” to take her virginity, the sheriff’s office said. He also allegedly sent a nude picture of himself. For unknown reasons, Hudson told the undercover detective that he was employed as a Walt Disney World bus driver, officials said. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who has become known nationwide for his child-predator stings, said that Hudson told the detective that “what we said could get us all in trouble.” Zachary Hudson, 30, a Walt Disney World bus driver, arrested in undercover child predator investigation.

The “cast member,” as they are called by Walt Disney World, allegedly warned the girl multiple times that she had to stay quiet about their relationship, saying it had to be “our secret,” Sheriff Judd said. He paraphrased what Hudson allegedly said to the undercover detective: “You know, I could go to jail. But I’d risk it for spending some time with you. I’d risk going to jail.”He was arrested in Orlando and booked into the Orange County Jail, and now faces one count of use of a two-way communication device to commit a felony and one count of transmission of material harmful to a minor. Judd noted that Hudson was texting the undercover detective posing as a 15-year-old girl while he was at his job. The sheriff said: “So if your bus was running late at Disney, he was busy taking pictures of himself and talking trash to what he thought was a little girl.” Don’t mess with Gov. DeSantis either. DeSantis issues stark warning to would-be looters: “Florida is a Second Amendment state” Posted October 3, 2022FT MYERS, FLORIDA- “Dear Bad Guys: Don’t say you weren’t warned.” That is the message sent loud and clear by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this weekend to serve as a warning to those who might try to take advantage of the natural disaster from Hurricane Ian. Ok, maybe DeSantis didn’t say it in so many words but his point was pretty clear…it is not a good idea to loot in a Second Amendment fearing state, the New York Post reports. “Don’t even think about looting. Don’t even think about taking advantage of people in this vulnerable situation. And so local law enforcement is involved in monitoring that,” America’s governor said during a Friday news conference. “You can have people you know bringing boats into some of these islands and trying to ransack people’s homes. I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you never know what might be lurking behind somebody’s home, and I would not wanna chance that if I were you, given that we’re a Second Amendment state,” he continued.Florida is a law and order state. Looting and lawlessness will not be tolerated. pic.twitter.com/8Ma9RuSlPq — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) October 1, 2022DeSantis spoke to a sign posted on a boarded up business in Punta Gorda, Florida which gave this stark warning: “You loot, we shoot,” according to Florida Politics. Florida will not tolerate looters taking advantage of #HurricaneIan to prey on vulnerable Floridians. They will be arrested and I have asked state attorneys to seek the longest pretrial detention possible to keep them locked up so they cannot commit new crimes. https://t.co/ORw0qJ1TbB — AG Ashley Moody (@AGAshleyMoody) September 30, 2022According to WCJB-20, there have been sporadic looting reports in some of Florida’s hardest hit areas, including Fort Myers, where police arrested five looters attempting to do early Christmas looting. In Levy County, another man was arrested for burglary. Lee County, Florida: TRY TO LOOT I WILL EAT YOUR FACE 👏👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/rHq7gbpOuo — Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) October 1, 2022DeSantis isn’t the only Florida official warning would-be thieves after Ian left parts of Florida totally destroyed or severely damaged. Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno spoke along the same lines as DeSantis, with Lee County being one of the hardest hit areas of the Sunshine State. “For any of those individuals that think they are going to go out there and loot or prey on people during this horrific event—you better think twice,” Marceno said. “When I say zero tolerance, zero tolerance means we will hunt you down, track you down, and you’re going to jail, if you’re lucky.” The fact Ian occurred in Florida and not some free-wheeling state that coddles criminals, like say Illinois or New York, means criminals better think long and hard about whether they want to take a chance for that box of tampons they might be thinking of turning for some quick cash. In 2020, while cities and states across the U.S were trying to figure more ways to coddle criminals, Florida was working to deal with the problem of looting head on, according to Louder With Crowder. Along those lines, the state passed common-sense rioting and looting reform that summer to deal with the out-of-control crime that decimated cities such as Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland, among many other Democrat-run hellholes. And unlike the political appointees who tend to make up big city police departments up north, Florida sheriffs don’t play. They are by and large fierce supporters of the Second Amendment and in fact some of them aren’t shy about encouraging their citizens to exercise those rights if need be. For example, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, one of our favorites was responding to a reporter’s question a few years back, who was questioning him about a shootout between his deputies and a suspect.In response, Judd said, in part: “If you surrender peacefully, that’s the way we prefer it. You pull guns on us, you can not only plan on, but you can guarantee we’re gonna shoot you.” Another video, he was encouraging residents in his county to get their license to carry. “Get a concealed firearms license, and carry it. And if you need to shoot somebody, shoot ‘em a lot.” Regarding DeSantis’s warning to looters, it wasn’t long before the dumbest person on cable news (who has a LOT of competition) decided to weigh in, according to Fox News. That brain-dead moron is of course MSNBC host Joy Reid. Reid attempted to draw a parallel between DeSantis warning looters that they were in a Second Amendment state and suggesting they might want to think twice before looting. Reid compared his statement to that of “segregationist Miami Sheriff Walter E. Headley, who said in the 1960s, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.” “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”—segregationist Miami sheriff Walter E. Headley, 1967 Didn’t take DeSantis long to return to form.https://t.co/8FJKyzQY1G https://t.co/uS5jbrx29S — Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy) Reid 😷 (@JoyAnnReid) October 1, 2022So in other words, Reid must think in that pea-brain of hers that the only ones who loot are minorities. How very racist of her, but not totally unexpected. This is standard operating procedure for Reid, although her racism is usually targeting whites, not her own race.DeSantis has increasingly become a target for the radical left, as he is viewed as a future threat as a possible GOP presidential candidate. In fact, in most polling he finishes second to former President Donald Trump, who has been signaling he may indeed go for another go at the Oval Office. If he declines, DeSantis becomes the prohibitive favorite as the Republican nominee in 2024. So Reid, along with the rest of the mainstream media, has gotten her marching orders from the Democratic National Committee to target DeSantis and label him as a “racist, homophobe, Hitleresque tyrant.” None of which is remotely accurate, but it makes for good fodder for the unhinged lunatic left.
