James L. Whitehurst II faces 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
DUNNELLON — A 49-year-old Dunnellon man accused of threatening multiple people favorable to President Donald Trump, was arrested and charged with 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of disorderly conduct by police.
On Thursday, Officer Megan Feliciani of the Dunnellon Police Department was called to the 11300 block of North Williams Street to investigate an armed man at a gathering where people were holding pro-Trump signs.
The victims told an officer that a man, later identified as James L. Whitehurst II, had approached them during their peaceful assembly with what was described as a cane sword in hand. The officer was told Whitehurst pointed the sword in their faces and made threatening statements.
Cane sword-wielding Dunnellon man accused of threatening Trump supporters
This event happened last week, but it did not get major coverage (I am shocked.) I just saw it posted over Dana Loesch and had to share it with you.
Using a blade and a van… it is almost like the Lefty weirdos were taking ideas from the newly minted immigrants to Europe, right? Aloha Snack Bar and all that? I know! Bernie Snack Bar!
He’s luckier than he knows, I think.
Unfortunately, neither he nor others of his ilk seem predisposed to learning the easy way.
“without intent to kill”? WTFO?
Yes, he’s very lucky that none of his victims were armed (or none that were felt threatened enough to defend themselves).
In 10 years he would have been imprisoned for FAILING to kill Trump supporters; failing his duty to bring about liberal utopia by killing those who oppose the left.
That was tongue in cheek sarcasm by the way but with the way things are going that might actually be a thing in 10 years when the Democrats take over. After all they want everyone not like them dead If that means killing a couple hundred million people in the country that’s fine. That would be tongue-in-cheek but we already know they think that way.
‘threatened’?
If anyone “approaches” me with a drawn sword, points it in my face and makes threatening statements, I figure it is with the intent to kill.
From there it’s game on and he was stupid enough to bring a knife to a gunfight.
Suggestion: Whenever you gather to protest, make sure you have at least one person with a video camera running. Get it on video. Get a good shot of anyone approaching the group, and any license plates. Ideally have more than one camera, and someone at a distance taping the whole thing too.
And tell any hotheads on your side to zip it! Smile and laugh at them, it drives them even more batsh-t insane!
