Aman has been arrested in Florida after pointing a shotgun at his neighbor for flying a Joe Biden flag, police have said.

Edward Lacourse, 75 was arrested in Fort Myers on Monday and faces an aggravated assault with a weapon charge, according to Lee County Sheriff's Office records.

His neighbors, who live next to Lacourse's home at 13505 Marquette Boulevard, told police that he started verbally abusing them after becoming upset about a "Biden Flag" on their property.

The victims reportedly said that in the 18 years they've lived on Marquette Boulevarde, they had never spoken to Lacourse.



One of the neighbors went inside their home to call the police when Lacourse pointed a gun at the other.

After the dispute, deputies arrived at the address and knocked on Lacourse's door.

But when he opened his door, he allegedly commanded his collie-mix dog to "kill" the officers.

1. Trumpers be criminals. nt

24. Yes Trumpism is synonymous with criminality and treason.

As, at its core, all three are variants of the same destructive predatory behavior.

2. Really?

Lacourse was arrested on Monday and released the next day on a $5,000 bond, police records show.

He faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill.

20. Mother-fucker better get on his knees and thank God for his dearth of melanin.

Otherwise he would be deader than Trump's conscience.

4. I thought these fuckers believe in Blue Lives Matter

he allegedly commanded his collie-mix dog to "kill" the officers

Oh, yes, the only time these nazis support the coppers is when they are killing, maiming, torturing people of colour. Piece of dogshit probably wants the cops to shoot his neighbours for him.

[Marcuse]

12. Like their leader, they believe blue lives matter only when arresting black lives.

Trump’s claims of unqualified support for police is a lie. That the man who was impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, encourages lawbreaking, and surrounds himself with criminals screams “LAW AND ORDER” is preposterous. But Americans should know that his words and his actions have put police lives in danger and are tearing the nation apart.

Among our national leaders, no one is more anti-police than Donald Trump.

6. If he had been black

This would have been his last act

But when he opened his door, he allegedly commanded his collie-mix dog to "kill" the officers.

7. My next door neighbor still flies his TRUMP 2020 flag....

Like I am hoing to point a gun at him? I just ignore him. If I do see him in public somewhere, I say hello and leave it at that. That way, he does not have anything nasty to say about me.

26. He tried to attack cops by siccing a collie on them?

Death by licking and snuggling. Oh, the humanity!

I think our Florida Man is missing a concept of canine ferocity.
