Cliven Bundy-style scofflaw jailed in Miami over threats to shoot county commissioners
Well, at least they jailed this guy. Bundy and his rebel militia still walk free.
A 54-year-old Florida man is in jail after he threatened to shoot the members of the Miami-Dade County Commission on Tuesday.
According to the Miami Herald, Jose Antonio Fernandez attended the meeting to tell county officials that if they seized his property, he would have “the right to shoot every last one of you.”
Pointing at the individual council members, Fernandez said repeatedly, “Shoot ‘em!”
“Will you please remove him completely from the building, and follow up on that?” said Chairperson Rebeca Sosa to a pair of sergeants-at-arms who flanked Fernandez and led him from the room.
“Enough is enough!” Fernandez shouted. “This is America!”
Fernandez has been locked in a dispute with environmental regulators over violations of wetlands preservation codes. The Department of Environmental Resources Management maintains that Fernandez’ plant nursery — located in a rural area south of Miami called Los Palmas — has racked up more than $300,000 in fines for environmental violations.
The government seized the nursery when Fernandez refused to pay the fines. Now, his home is set to be sold at a foreclosure auction later this month.
