Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson is seen in this screenshot from a press conference that took place on April 21, 2022. A Florida sheriff invited a homeowner who shot at a would-be robber to attend a gun safety course to “learn to shoot a lot better" and “save the taxpayers money."
Multiple residents called 911 last Wednesday to report the break-ins and deputies quickly set up a perimeter, Johnson said. The suspect was jumping over fences and breaking into homes as deputies tried to catch him.
Damn right! I love these comments about what if the intruder is unarmed Are you kidding me? Shoot first ask questions later!
Why not have all the people crossing the southern boarders dropped off at all the liberals homes and they can live with them
Having been through a break in when I was asleep with my family I will tell you now there is nothing a father wouldn’t do to protect his family in that situation. In my case I was able to scare them off without the use of violence. But had it come to it I wouldn’t hesitate!
I wish we had Castle Laws here...
Wow. Canadians certainly are brainwashed.
It’s a lot different here in Canada as we must get gun cabinet unlocked then separate bullet case opened and it’s too late to shoot them as you have been shot or are in their custody! I love your US gun laws!
It’s against the law to teach kids about gender & diversity in schools, but it’s perfectly ok to teach home owners how to shoot-to-kill anyone who comes through the door. Does anyone else think Americans have a warped sense of right & wrong these days?
You shoot and you dont go to jail the person trespassed your private place
Not true ray jay this is called home invasion you can defend yourself here in Canada
I ❤ Florida more every day! 😀
this is what Vladimir thinks, too :)
There’s a new sheriff in town!
Awesome!
Exactly!!! Shoot,shovel, shut up.
This is the way it should be everywhere
Why can't we have this in Canada? Would deter a lot of assholes.
In Canada we would be charged with murder and unlawful use of a gun and numerous other charges. We have to cooperate, run, hide or call for help. I own a handgun but can’t shoot it on my own farm.
Ah, a man after my heart.
Blast away…
Sure beats letting burglars harm your family.
I didn’t need that press conference to know what I would do. The criminals may need it, I do not.
Yes
Omg yeah that’s the Christian thing to do! Suppose it’s the police or firefighters!
This is exactly wtf is wrong with America.
What if it's an elderly person playing hide-n-seek 👀
America the great
Why are we worried about this here.. is there nothing ctv can report on what's going on in canada
🤦🏽♀️
The US has a crime problem, Canadians don’t understand yet….
Home intruders have a tendency to call a time out until the cops get there.
I already have that rule, not only my house, but my property.
Right on!!
What about a no-knock-warrant? Florida man shoots police cause Florida Sherif told him too?
What are people supposed to do? Just leave and let them rob you?
Do you not have local news to report on?
That's cause Florida Sheriff has experience dealing with Florida man. He's the kinda man you shoot on sight. Just trust me on this one...
This is how things should be throughout North America. This is the right way. Florida with another W.
Damn right I will! Guess what... I will go to prison for it! Not the criminal! Living in rural Canada it can takes hours for the police to arrive and I don't know about you but I'm not gonna let someone harm me or steal my property in that time!!
Yup, don't mind me shooting up the neighborhood. Just whip em out and start shooting from the hip. Bound to hit something out there... Hot diggity dog.... floridasheriff Florida
barnes_law Oh yeah...shoot to kill. Whats the problem with that?
Then go to jail for defending your family.
Exactly
Hilarious to see the brainwashed woke sheep try to defend people who break into homes. Would you support shooting the person if they were “UNvacCiNaTeD”
They started looting and robbing here.
Canada should have the same laws, property rights, everyone home owner should be able to defend their castle! In Canada the Robbers have more rights then the home owner, so back words!
Makes sense when you have adequate laws allowing citizens to protect themselves from intruders. Unlike here in Canada
Duh. Who wouldn't?
I see many criminal-sympathizing Canadians are balking at this
That should play out well during no knock warrants.
Very few break ins in Texas.
Exactly how it should be. Stupid Canada needs to stop encouraging crime and start to punish criminals or at least allow citizens to defend themselves and their property
. “If someone is breaking into your house you're more than welcome to shoot at them in Santa Rosa County. We’d prefer that you do actually.'
Too bad canaduh is a century behind the times.
Isn’t that logical in your own house , protect your kids and family…?
Love all the crazies losing their minds over Americans having 2A rights they can't infringe upon. Also cute to see how all of a sudden they have 'I love life' moments when talking about criminals - helpless babies however, can be killed happily and in celebration. Wow.
Florida Sheriff still falls under the category of Florida man. So this headline is not that shocking.
Common sense for the win
I would
Makes complete sense.
Could you investigate the missing and murdered women in BC please this is American news…
Should be like that in more places.
Public service announcement we can get behind. In Canada what do you recommend? Getting a Liberal MP to defend u?
Pretty his pronouns are not conforming
If you're not willing and able to defend your home and family from Invaders I'm thankful you're not part of mine. Smile and wait for the flash.
Should be like that in Canastan
👏👏👏
Fucking A right 🤸🤸🤸💥💥💥
What if they're unarmed?
Correct
Judged by 12 or carried by 6... I will take my chances with the 12.
I want to be in Florida
Dear CTV News, Please provides fair news to both side. Please understand that your viewers are both side. Thank you!
I don’t disagree with this. What’s the problem?
Florida is a place a never want to visit again. Ever!
As it should be. Sends a clear messsge to those that threaten ones kingdom.
to bad we dont have this mentality in canada
What are elections coming up again, their country their laws
U.S. must be the 'people-ugliest' place to live
Wish we had that option in Canada, but our laws dictate that we have to allow criminals to victimize us, we have no right to self defense.
Ya … so what’s the problem ctv ? Sticking up for scumbag criminals?
That’s an old clip actually. I live in Florida and saw this about 2 years ago.
Absolutely. A gun in hand is better than a cop on the phone.
Well, yeah.
. I have to vehemently disagree with this! Shoot until they are no longer a threat! If someone is trying to break into your house, they have forfeited any expectation of safety. .
They could also take this approach if the homeowner doesn't have a gun...
Florida continues to become more attractive
As it should be, don’t tread on me
Agree right to protect you're property
Shoot someone in the foot or leg and they aren't going anywhere. Why does everyone assume shoot to kill?
Love it! Should be allowed in Canada as well.
Know laws in your state. Laws differ state to state & what may be considered self defense in 1 state, might be grounds for a murder or manslaughter indictment in another. Educate yourself. Be prepared for a legal battle even if it was self defense. Watch USCCA YouTube
Ba ba ba based
Should be the same here. There's a line where criminals should never cross and that's breaking into someone's castle. Home is the only place where someone should feel 💯% safe from the outside world.
Fuck CTV ads
Well that would be much easier then grabbing whatever knife is closest to me
And here is the poster child for more shootings..really..I often wonder how many spouse's have been shot in the name of ' I thought it was a burglar '
Totally agree? Who wouldnt shoot an intruder?
I mean, he’s not wrong…
Honestly, reasonable.
Love him
God Bless America
So criminals are valued and people that are defending their homes and their children or not. Shame on you CTV
Not quite what was said, but then CTV its not like you even try to be unbiased or fact check, lol
That is the funniest article I have read in a long time!
This is the way it should be no ? If it was law and this was known through out the masses I m pretty sure it would deter people from breaking into places
Yes good for him to be honest.
Poor cowboy country! USA is sinking!
If you have a screen door and they break through that, shoot through the next door. Make sure it's below the belt line. You feared for your life and the life of your family and they threatened to kill you. Advice from a cop.
Well duh-😭 it’s not like I’m going to invite them on in
Makes sense 🤷♂️
The American mantra , God and Guns
USA da miedo
Sounds about right to me.
Why is a Liberal Canadian News network tweeting about how American law enforcement deals with Criminal matters.
As it should be in Canada
I will start planning moving there. Common Sense is rare these days.
sounds perfect
And THAT sums up the whole problem!
Yeah, they're immune to death by gun now. Zero feelings about it. Just shoot folks.
Based. Need that here in Canada.
Democrats are losing their minds
That many people are breaking into homes? What a shithole
Wow! Deterence ?
Yes! Aim for the thighs. Hopefully you own a 10 gauge. 👍
Florida. Enough said.
God damn right!
This is why Florida rules and Canada drools.
You should have the right to defend yourself and your property. This though doesn’t mean you’re gonna go yeehaw and shoot everyone that knocks on your door
As it should be. Someone breaking into your home doesn’t have good intentions… police can take a long time to arrive. You may only have seconds between life and death
Good idea you might be shooting your own kid coming home under the influence! YFI.
Absolutely
And this is why I’ll stay in Canada
🤣🤣🤣 Liberals crying “defund the police” and got the 🏀 to criticize anyone trying to protect their family.
Absolute Chad and entirely correct
Because Florida
Police respond to crime, rarely stop an armed home invasion if ever.
On April 18–19, 2020, Gabriel Wortman committed multiple shootings thirteen-hour crime spree, set fires at 16 locations in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people and injuring three others before he was shot and killed by the RCMP what if those people were armed.
Sounds good to me.
Defend yourself like Pam Hupp, no matter who is at your door!
No firearm owner will shoot someone who is old or sick. They will defend their homes against bad guys.
The problem is simple. We in Canada have been conditioned to rely on others for our protection. We’ve been PUSSIFIED. It is a human right to protect oneself and loved ones from danger. The Fight or Flight instinct is real Sure, if you can flee, do so. If not, DEFEND Yourself.
TrueNorthRaquel we are moving to Florida
Good! Protect your family!
Canada needs this law. Cops only arrive after your injured or dead.
Is this an argument for defunding the police?
If anything this article proves that there is no services and help available for juveniles who head down the wrong path. A record since he was 13 and already spent 6 years in jail. Sad this sheriffs only solution is kill him even Saturday a lot of People agree with him.
Do what all police do….shoot first and ask questions later…..wish they had the right to carry up here. Then the Criminals can complain to Jesus
Slow news day? No matter how hard we try Canadians will never understand this. We don’t live in open-carry communities. When everyone in your neighborhood is considered Armed & Dangerous this action makes perfect sense. The USA is now a fictional version of The Wild West.
Quite different in Canada. You will be charge for murder or manslaughter.
I wish we had that here
If you break into my home, you're getting shot. Gun is always loaded and ready to go. 🥰
💯💯💯💯💯💯
So did the police force just decide that there is no more rule of law? No trials, no sentencing, just instant execution? How much worse can America become?
I agree
EXACTLY!
Canadians must fight for the same basic right!
Preach blood of Jesus
Meanwhile in Canada you're not allowed to own a firearm for self defense You're only allowed a firearm for the purpose of playing at gun ranges
If someone is in danger what do you think talking to the burglar and having maybe a cup of coffee will work? 😂😭🤣
In this case, the sheriff is correct.
Lmaoamericans
Moving to Florida
American have really lost their minds. !!!
Because those in power are too busy doing other dumb 💩
America is such trash
Murica!
What if your child sneaks out of house without keys and has to break in and without thinking grab the gun and shoot. It is more likely you will shoot someone you know than a stranger breaking in. This will cause tragedies.
Florida has a stand your ground law
Stand your ground vs No-knock warrants. Police will get killed and the state won't be able to do a thing about it.
Too bad we can’t up here.
Duh..
Such backwards thinking. Must think he is in the old west. Opens everything up to allow shooting of spouses,family members,or anyone you dislike. Have them come in your home and shoot them. So irresponsible from a supposed defender of safety and justice. JoeBiden KamalaHarris
Why wouldn’t you?
Finally a based cop
100%
God damn right
