Make criminals afraid again.
You don't know until you've lived it. It's not a good feeling waking up to someone in your home. It's terrifying.
I've had someone in my house a few times but never in the middle of the night, still scary though.
You wanna know how I've avoided being shot in that county, i didn't break into someone else's home. Seems pretty straightforward
same
People avoid getting shot here as well.
Yes,kinda common sense.
If someone's breaking into your house, they are a threat.
If someone is breaking into my house, I'm putting my hands up and begging for mercy.
@@bowtieguy85 that's your choice.
If someone breaks into my house they better kill me cause they wont leave alive.
You dont have to do anything to protect yourself and leave your life in the hands of a person that means you ill intent.
@@adamcappella8088 w reply
I pity you. Can you say no backbone.@@bowtieguy85
@@bowtieguy85 What a pu$$y. Protect your assets & family at all costs.
maybe some americans don't understand but, when you live in a different country where even if the robber is inside your room and hurt him can make you go to jail, to see this is just glorious
This is one of the reasons why a lot of people in those countries wish that they have a Second Amendment like we do. Although I do agree with something such as background checks felons and ones with mental illness can’t access guns, although if they prove they’ve changed in the long run they can get their rights back. I know we have a gun violence problem but I think the main issue with that is is our society not guns
@@Warhead_235 you can keep your second amendment thanks. I’m shocked that you (and many like you) are blind to the morbid fascination your country has with guns and the way it fetishizes property
@@Warhead_235 The problem certainly has more than one single cause. But guns are one major one of them. Here nobody wants your second Amendment. We don't have easy access to guns but neither do criminals.
I know one thing for certain a dead person can not testify. If you believe my fence does not apply to YOU! No worries you will never have that problem again. Have respect for your family leave mine alone!!!
@@JH-zs3bs It only takes one criminal to ruin your life, everybody is peaceful until they break down your dolor and attack yours. But well, I can imagine that you're one of those who live in developed countries in housing complexes with a lot security, in that way of course you don't need weapons, those who cannot afford that life have the right to defend themselves in any way.
This sheriff rules.
I like this guy right to the point.
Yeah. No nonsense. If it ain't yours, don't take it. I'm from the UK and here, you dare not defend yourself for fear of legal action against YOU. How we got like this is another story! Don't get rid of your Sherrif. He's what I call "Real".
Warning: Distressing (for those who may attempt to break in and steal)
Lol as a gun owning wife and mom if someone breaks in my house at anytime i will use deadly force to protect my family and myself.
Wow..Sucks how you tube makes this to be a bad thing..Somebody protecting themselves is a God Given Right...

@Jack Hanna It’s not necessarily RUclips…it’s woke liberals/progressives.
The sheriff here doesn't state a single inaccuracy. If someone is stupid enough to go into someone's house uninvited or by mistake, in FL and other places you might get shot. Legally so. Also, if an offender dies at a crime scene, it does in fact save the taxpayers money. Guess they shouldn't have been a POS burglar.
So you condone shooting people who wander into someone’s house by mistake? What is wrong with you people?
@@bmandville Taking the time to ask someone why they're in your house could cost you your life. Sorry, not sorry.
@@bmandville nobody wanders into a locked home by mistake
@@bmandville If you enter through my locked door by mistake.... then you're gonna die.
@@bmandvilleyou are a r3t@rd3d leftist democrat 😂
Here in Seattle we can still shoot a intruder in self defense our gun laws are better than Texas and im a constitutionalist I own guns ak-47 I open carry 24/7 since 2010(age 20) no ccw no registration needed ❤ plus I got au(tis)m I won’t allow my rights to be violated 🎉
I am a Floridian and I love this guy...if you are so worried about getting shot it's real simple...don't break into someone's house. I have been robbed at home and it's terrifying...my wife lived in fear for a very long time afterwards.
I too have been victimized by an intruder, affected my son really bad.
“We prefer that you do, actually, lol.”
If you enter my home uninvited, you are a perceived threat, and will be dealt with. If you're a multiple felon and get ventilated, all the better. No love lost for society's dead weight.
If you enter my house uninvited you help yourself to all of our belongings, while my son and I watch helplessly tied up and gagged.
People have the right to defend their homes by any means necessary…
Because property is greater than human life.
@@troymixwell7681 Imagine defending criminal scum.
Not my any means, in proportion to the threat.
@@troymixwell7681 NO! But the safety and security of you and your family is greater than the life of somebody who's standing there threatening same!
@@troymixwell7681 yea. I value my PlayStation a lot more than any Criminals life.
I live in FLORIDA and I for one AM GLAD that our law makers care enough about Floridians that they backed OUR SAFETY with a law. IT SHOULD BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO EVERYONE THAT
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
PROTECT YOUR HOME
YOUR FAMILY AND YOURSELF !!If you are IN YOUR HOME, PROTECT YOURSELVES AND YOUR FAMILY
I’m loving the Sheriff. Makes sense to me. Criminals don’t get to harm your family. It’s ok if you don’t want to protect your family just don’t try to sell me not to protect mine. Hey criminals check which party the persons house you want to break into is with. . I would go with Democrat if I were you.
What's wrong with this? I say go for it
They’re liberals. They think criminals are innocent all the time
Honestly as someone who lives and is accustomed to laws of Florida, I don't see the controversy. They happily left out the facts:
1) Stand your Ground it is always equal or lesser force. it's not legal to kill someone if they punch you for example.
2) You can't shoot someone without going to jail unless your door is locked, and they forcibly enter. otherwise "equal or lesser force" laws apply even inside your home!
3) the fear from leftists that gun owners are so timid and fearful and will just shoot if a butterfly surprises them is quite demeaning. 🤣
4) If a stranger is in my home I will shoot without question because I have a family to protect, I always leave my doors locked, and it's always obvious who is a guest in my home vs someone creeping around.
The law allows a person to use deadly force anytime they are at risk of bodily harm or they feel their life is threatened. A person does not have a duty to retreat. As long as they are not trespassing onto someone else's property, they can use deadly force to defend themselves.
Once again I deplore you to read the law again and stop spreading mis info. Here in Florida you can use deadly force anytime you feel you in danger of physical harm. Regardless if it’s with fist or feet like a punch or a kick.
I had a stranger is in my house before, but he didn't get shot, he just my son and I are being made more comfortable with some ropes and handkerchiefs, before helping himself to all of our belongings.
At the end of the day, don’t break into people houses with their family inside and expect not to get potential killed or seriously wounded, go get a job and work for what you want just like a lot of people do. 🤷🏾♂️
You can expect to not be killed in my house. 😁
I personally would rather live in a place where I have the right to defend my own home. If you don't want to get shot, then don't be a home invader.
You won't get shot here.
Ok, now what's wrong with that ?
He's a legend
Florida is GREAT! This sheriff is GREAT!
This includes the police kicking down the door?
BINGO
Yes
Hit the nail on the head
Only if your iq is room temperature
Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was cleared for shooting one of the officers and nearly killing him, because he didn't hear the cops announce themselves. So, yes, it does apply to cops kicking your door down, if you can make a case that you couldn't reasonably know they were cops.
We need more sheriff like him
What a wonderful Sheriff. Do you know how fast home invasions are going to stop in Santa Rosa County! You'd be a fool if you attempted home invasions in Santa Rosa County. This is the definition of a hard zone. People have been empowered to defend themselves. This is good government.
The door is locked for your safety, not mine!
My door is locked for my safety. 😳
Now that is the best thing I have ever heard from a sheriff good for him!!!! 👌👍
That goes for unlawful intruders with badges too.
How dare you
@@infinow need a pacifier?👶
@@DirtyPlumbus no you can keep that...
@@infinow I see, you're satisfied sucking on boots. What's it like supporting criminal cops?
I’m a pretty liberal progressive and I’m for this. If someone is breaking into your home, you don’t have time to consider other options or scold them. It’s on them for breaking in. That’s the risk they take.
Shoot ‘em if they pose no threat and they running away do not shoot them
YES!!👍🏼👍🏼 Liberal all the way and I'm in on this as well. That should be our right. You come to my house uninvited, the only thing that's gonna welcome you is my 9mm.
Liberals aren't left
@@Vahlee-A nope cause we're always right😆😆
You've upset the horde
I would definitely vote for him
We had someone killed who was visiting Florida and pulled into a driveway because they were lost...we don't need law enforcement encouraging people who are overreacting to their fears about being victimized and use that as an excuse for chasing a car down the street and killing someone who is just lost...very disappointed in some of the elected officials in my state...Flori-duh...
Why would they show up to someone's home to ask for directions though? There was no GPS on their phone or a gas station or convenience store or other business open late night that could've provided directions? I understand the need for certain protocols to be in place before engaging a firearm, but no sane person would pull up into anyone's driveway and knock on the door to ask for information that can be obtained through more readily available means...
There is a slight difference between pulling into a driveway and an armed home invasion.
@@paranoidhumanoid you assume people in Florida are sane??
@@paranoidhumanoid
They were turning around and looking at maps for Google..the guy was trying to find the street his in laws lived on ..after going to the store..people turn into our driveway all of the time we don't have a gun to pull off out or the time to be jerks about pulling in to figure out where they are. We are a tourism dependent state that should be a bit more accepting of tourists getting lost...ap.S. I never said he went to the door. He was just looking at his phone and pulled out when a crazy person approached the car with a gun a started shooting..that's not cool! The guy even admitted to firing before asking questions...
@@paranoidhumanoid What sane person would open fire on someone who pulled into a driveway and knocked on the door? 🤦♂
Does that include officers without warrants?
Obviously not
@Zachary Um, yah-which is why charges for shooting at cops were dismissed against Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend.
In a perfect world yes.
If the criminal inside a dwelling is dangerous, they don't need one...For violent crimes, no warrant is needed...Simple robberies of breaking a car window, stealing and running, they do need one...But..But...If that IPhone pingged at that address, don't make it harder for yourself...
When LEO’s execute a search warrant they are required to announce their presence to whomever is within, their purpose for being their, and allow the occupants to review the warrant. I’m sure if a person not a LEO preceded their entry with the same actions they’d likely avoid getting shot.
God bless you, Sheriff Johnson
If somebody forces their way in to your house without your expressly given consent...then yes they are an immediate threat
Tbh why would they bother harming you its just inconvenient if they ever get caught
@@2lizard559 Exactly. Unless they're attempting to get into your home with the express interest in causing you or others harm, why jump to that conclusion?
@@Swampert384 WHY BREAK INTO SOMEONE ELSES HOME?? How is that the home owners responsibility to determine what someone’s intent is when they BREAK INTO MY HOME. I wish I could knock you out lmao. Just clean KO you for being such a plug on humanity
@@2lizard559 say that to the people who have been assualted during an invasion. you never know what someone's intentions are until they act. whether or not you are armed during that time will determine the outcome.
my question to you is: if someone breaks Into your house. you'd would be more than happy for them to steal your property as long as they don't harm you?
@@kayak118 I strive to be a person who does not kill for property, yes
I like what he said, honest and straighforward !!👍😁
why does now this have such a bias slant on this issue? like you want intruders to keep committing crimes
I sure don't, I've been robbed enough times already.
@@bowtieguy85 👍🏼 Srry to hear that
@@Jeff-tp6eo yeah 2 seperate incidents 😨
I agree that once someone has entered your home you have the right to defend yourself and your loved ones. However you still need legislation to ensure people don't use it as green light to shoot just anyone, even if they are walking past or on their property boundaries. This is a vigilante law if left unfettered.
That's exactly what I'm saying! Trayvon and Amaud were both killed because of that loophole
A culture of gun safety and regular classes - Federal firearms tracking and ammunition tracking legislation
@@Vahlee-A it wasn’t the loophole that got them killed it was the culture of kill them on site they are the enemy wants everyone and not just certain people are allowed to have these guns culturally this will slow down
but who knows if it will stop so long as some people want to kill their fellow countrymen simply for not being the same phenotype
I’m looking at you, gun loving right wingers!
Yeah youre right. Just let the burglaries happen in peace. Its not like criminals have guns to defend themselves if shot.
@@Vahlee-A You named 2 people when there are 10x + the amount of victims of crimes that happen on the daily.
Anything that involves less work for his sheriff's office is encouraged
Ahahahaha
Good to see Justice encouraged…
Lmao the (warning: distressing) has me laughing. You know what’s distressing, a home intruder. Those defense attorneys want clients alive to get money from.
Think the warning is geared to towards home invaders
I agree, I've had a couple in the past few years and it is very distressing.
I dont need a sheriff to tell me this
I support defense of sanctuary laws. Noone has any business going into another person's residence uninvited.
OF COURSE!!!! A criminal defense lawyer will say this, he would be out of a job if lawful citizens could protect them selfs.
“ by any means necessary”
These dirt bag lawyers who said this I sure hope some crazed meffhead doesn’t come knocking on the door in the middle of the night. They better retreat.
What on earth is "a hypothetical home invader?"
I was wondering that myself. I've had an intruder in my house before but there was nothing hypothetical about him.
We need more sheriffs like him.
The minute you step into someone elses home illegally, you forfeit your right to live.
My son and I are usually the ones doing the forfeiting when someone enters our house. 😅
We now have stand your ground law in Ohio and I couldn't be more proud. If you break into my home it's not my family's 'duty to retreat' its your duty to get out or lose your life. Very simple & exactly how America should be. It's disturbing to see these democrats protecting these criminals like this.
All the ones condemning this or complaining about it obviously they’ve never had any home invasion done to them. Guaranteed that they would change their minds once it’s happened to them.
If they break into YOUR home it’s YOUR right to shoot!
A right I'm not exercising.
@@bowtieguy85 because you like seeing your wife with another man
Does this mean we don't need law enforcement? Im down w that
I certainly need them in case I ever get robbed again, God forbid. 😱
I love this guy
The sheriff sounds too sarcastic, "saving the taxpayers money" comment. But if you break into my home, you may suffer from severe lead poisining.
By doing so you're saving tax payers money. What's sarcastic about that?
You should be able to protect your property and life. But beware when law enforcement tells you something like that.
You mean after the government and everyone else pushed to defund them causing crime to rise since they were short staffed and still are?
@@ipman6039 What departments around the country got defunded?
He is talking to people who live in a county that don't have to worry about break ins.
Yeah, I’ll bet NPR did a fair story on this 😂😂😂😂😂
"Shall not be Infringed"
love this guy
In the context of a home invasion, then yes, the intruder takes the risk of encountering an armed occupant. However, while they are rare, there are instances when people might end up in your home without you being aware of it. I am reminded of my time working at a housing authority, that was required by law to perform unit inspections. There were notices posted and letters sent out, but there's always a possibility that an occupant didn't see the notices. Our agency had legal authority to knock then enter if no one answered. What if they were sleeping and awoke to people legally entering their homes?
There are caveats to this.
No knock warrants are an issue as well. Cops get the wrong address of the address where the person of interest has long moved. They bust through your door and you start shooting and the outcome is predictable. You could ask Breonna Taylor all about that if plain clothed cops hadn't gunned her down in her home.
The outcome of this is that you may possibly get shot. It is so funny when people say they have a "right" to do something, but honestly if you go into a person's home without them being aware whatever happens to you is your fault and in FL if you get shot, that homeowner is eating dinner with their family that night while you get prepped for a box. Your right to enter isn't protecting you, knowledge of FL law just might.
@@incipidsigninsetup I mean, there are several instances of homeowners shooting cops that no knocked or made mistakes on the address and still did not get arrested. Including police fatality incidents. The outcome would have been more predictable for Breonna Taylor if she, a former county employee and by law required harm reporter due to her medical licences had not maintained a relationship with two known trap stars, one of whom was an ex boyfriend, and the other whom she allowed to receive mail and packages at her home. From which, whether a related drug package or not it was a suspect package nonetheless, said suspect would then drive to a known trap house.
@@DarthxKoolAidx in the context of state managed properties (which my comment pertains to), the situation is different than what you are describing.
@@Lea_and_Henry I am fully aware what you meant and how those properties operate. However in FL if you surprise a sleeping occupant of your state managed property you may get shot. And that will not be the occupants fault. Even though in many section 8, HUD, and similar properties you are not supposed to have guns, the DA is gonna go "🤷♂️ Oh well".
The gun laws in Florida support the good citizens & not the criminals💯✅. Thank God for our honorable Florida leaders and law-enforcement
Love how they fail to mention this dude is a repeat repeat repeat offender.
God bless our 2nd Amendment and God bless America.🇺🇸
Florida sheriff's are based, several of them do great news conferences.
The country where your TV is worth more than someone's life... Pathetic
It's the robber who decided the T.V. was worth more than his own life.
All he's doing is telling the truth
Then don’t break into someone’s house ?
You are conflating stand your ground. With castle doctrine two completely different things. 😂
Love me some Florida. I will never leave
why is this bad?
Here in AUS you'll end up in prison doing that so backwards.
I love this Sheriff. A true defender of the constitution.
Ofc the liberal media would critique the sherrif
This sheriff for president..
If there in your house, they are a threat idc what you say. My family come first before trying to figure if he’s a real threat or not.
This is distressing for criminals 🤣
Good. Can’t agree more. If is not your home and you haven’t been invited, then don’t go in… I don’t care if you are not a treat to me, society’s indulgence is why people have no fear of committing crimes or doing anything wrong.
Don’t have a problem with this
Someone breaks into my home, they are getting their muffin cap peeled back.
Someone breaks into my house their getting their hands on all of our belongings, while my son and I watch helplessly tied up and gagged.
Awesome sheriff.
This sheriff story was only a stunt from NowThis to show off their new xylophone skills
I used to think Florida was so progressive but now I realize Florida is a kin to Mississippi!
And you're a kin to a sheep.
A gun in the home is 43 times more likely to be used to kill a friend or family member than a burglar or other criminal.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises that the safest home for a child is one without guns. The most effective way to prevent unintentional gun injuries, suicide and homicide to children and adolescents, research shows, is the absence of guns from homes and communities.
Those stats are so fake. It includes people who have guns illegally
@@AJ-vu5gv Bet they also recommend kids be put on SSRI’s when over 90% of mass shootings involve the shooter being on them.
How many of those guns were obtained legally and registered?
@@AJ-vu5gv
Yup and the safest way not to get food poisoning is not to eat any food. And the safest way not to get in a car accident is not to drive or be a passenger in a car. And the safest way not to get the house on fire is not to get any gas and electricity running in the house.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
So when this Sheriff's department has a search warrant and makes a forced entry to someone's home, if the home owner shoots dead one of the members of law enforcement I'm guessing they will quote this sheriff's comments and they will be let off of any criminal consequences.
It will be really important that law enforcement announce them selves when making a forced entry, but criminals can also shout out those same words.
Also if someone is deaf or if there is loud music then whatever law enforcement shouts doesn't matter, the sheriff prefers that you shoot people making a forced entry to your home.
As for the police wearing uniforms when they make a forced entry, you won't be able to see the uniform with a torch light shining in your eyes, and if it's night time then dark blue uniforms might be different to see.
Nice strawman argument...im still going to shoot home intruders tho.
Shoot at cops and you won't have to worry about anything...EVER...
Wrecklesssssss
That’s not how serving a warrant works though….
If you are a AA man or woman please do not take any delivery jobs. Not Amazon, Fed Ex, UPS or Uber eats. This loophole will surely get you killed and them off.
I've never worked delivery, but I'm pretty sure they choose the "knock on the door and wait" method over the "break a window and walk in" method.
Are you stupid? This isn't a loophole it's a law that's been in place forever. Delivery people don't creep into your house
What constitutes a home invasion is the question.
Entering a home you are not welcome in to committ a felony. That's what its always been
Why are you bringing up Martin and stand your ground? You do know that stand your ground does not apply in a residence or occupied vehicle, correct?
Castle doctrine applies to residences and occupied vehicles, it assumes the person intends to commit a violent felony, allowing up to and including lethal force to prevent that.
Sheriff's in Florida and Texas don't play.
Terribly distressing.
Only if you're a criminal!
What is a hypothetical home intruder?
For me it was a disgruntled former employee, a man posing as a real estate agent to case my house and lastly a drunk friend of my neighbors who wandered into my house by mistake.
👏👏👏yes protect ur family and home.
Yep.Crime is getting worse and worse each day.. People are getting fed up with criminals running rampant.Go Sheriff 👍👍
Something tells me this sheriff will change his tune if a resident shoots a deputy executing a no-knock warrant.
This dude said nothing wrong, someone steps in your home unwelcomed you just give them the warning and hmu they don't abide 🤷♂️ their funeral
That didn't work for us. I warned the guy I'd call the police if he didn't leave, but he just laughed and proceeded to tie and gag my son and I before helping himself to all of our belongings.
This video is not accurate,the Sheriff did NOT say to shoot hypothetical home intruders, he said HOME INTRUDERS, nothing “hypothetical” about it PERIOD. I don’t care what the circumstances are, if your in someone else’s home and the homeowner didn’t invite you in or otherwise allow you to be there, then your a HOME INTRUDER!
Make America Florida
Mkay. Keep up the no knock warrants while you’re at it then.
@@Wadzillia not federal warrants. Meaning local law enforcement are still assisting fed agencies (DEA, ATF, etc) in their nonsense. So good luck to both parties when they get the wrong address and run into a civilian in full defense of their liberties. Gonna be some massacres.
@@Wadzillia and they’re gonna get it.
I mean if you think about it that will scare criminals to not break in houses and you know if there is a intruder then he is gonna kill you cause they know they gonna get shoot if they are caught so you can just shoot them
What about the mentally-ill or poor?
Poor people have to steal just to survive in Amerika
Statistically speaking, there is more chances of accident or suicide than any prevention or self defence against burglars. In other words, it does not work.
@@christiandauz3742 why not make a place where the poor don't have to steal, rather than making it hard to defend one self in their own home? The mentality-ill I understand but what are the chances of that happening in every home invasion
