More Batshit Crazy from the Gunshine State

Florida GOP candidate defends call to hang Obama by comparing him to George Zimmerman

Republican candidate for Florida’s state house defended his call for the hanging of President Barack Obama. According to Tampa’s Fox Channel 13, Joshua Black persisted in his insistence that Obama is a war criminal and a traitor who should be executed by “whatever method is applicable for the situation.”

I know that we don’t use hanging as a method of execution here in the U.S. anymore, so be it,” Black told Channel 13 in a Walmart parking lot interview. “Whatever method is applicable for the situation, I just want justice to be served.”

“When George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, he got a trial. And whatever was going to happen came out of that trial. President Obama kills a 15year-old, somebody else’s teenage son, and gets no trial,” said Black.

Chris Latvala, who is running to represent the neighboring 67th district called Black an “embarrassment” and dubbed him the “loser of the week.”
