Meet Laurence Wayne Key. As you can see, he was an enthusiastic participant in the “March For Our Lives” gun control event. According to police, in his spare time, he also threatened to kill a U.S. Representative’s children because he disagrees with the Congresscritter’s stance on public policy. That’s right. This tough guy threatened to kill kids over politics. And he wants you and me stripped of our gun rights.

WPTV in Palm Beach has the story of Key’s arrest and detention.

Stuart man arrested for threatening U.S. Rep. Brian Mast’s children STUART, Fla. – A Stuart man is behind bars, accused of threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Brian Mast’s children in response to current immigration policies. Mast has three young children. Laurence Wayne Key is facing federal charges under the offense of “communication of a threat to kidnap or injure a person.” A criminal complaint shows Key is accused of calling Mast’s Washington, D.C. office Monday, and telling an intern who answered the phone, “I’m going to find the Congressman’s kids and kill them. If you’re going to separate kids at the border, I’m going to kill his kids. Don’t try to find me because you won’t.’ Documents show that the intern reported the phone call to their supervisor. The FBI was made aware of the threat and began an investigation. Key was arrested shortly after allegedly making the threat.

What kind of person threatens to kill children over enforcement of the rule of law? Someone suffering from a bad case of chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome, that’s who.

I wrote yesterday about the mainstreaming of mob violence, especially among the radicals in the Democrat party. I concluded with this…

We teach people not to ignore an articulated threat by a potential attacker. If someone angry at you says, “I’m going to kill you,” you should listen. As they say, the FBI would call that a “clue.” You should take credible threats seriously and act accordingly to defend yourself. The gun-hating left is telling you what they intend to do. With this in mind, the prudent people will take precautions for their own self-defense. If you have a carry license, or live in a constitutional carry state, make sure you carry a gun. If you have not yet acquired your CCW, do so right away. Don’t forfeit your life because you left your safety rescue tool at home.

Laurence Wayne Key stands as yet another example of who these people are. He’s a radical leftist willing to use threats of physical violence toward a political end. Hate plus harassment will eventually become violence. Ignoring their threats would be foolish.

Remember this guy and the thousands more like him the next time you see reports of an angry group of radicals demanding gun control during the next Astroturfed “March for our Lives” event.

Thankfully police in Florida have picked up this whack-job before he could carry out any of this threats against innocent children.
