These Florida Tea Partiers plan to set up a secret vigilante court to arrest — and possibly execute
These Florida Tea Partiers plan to set up a secret vigilante court to arrest — and possibly execute — Obama
Florida county is considering changes to its charter review board after two elected members have focused on punishing political enemies through extralegal tactics instead of government business.
The Sarasota County charter review board typically proposes minor changes to the county charter when they meet three times a year, but critics say two of its members — Pat Wayman and Steven R. Fields — have been using their positions to usurp authority from other elected officials, reported the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The pair have voted to establish a “people’s common law grand jury,” which sovereign citizens and other anti-government extremists have proposed to investigate and prosecute government officials for treason — which, as they frequently point out, carries a potential death penalty.

“A people’s common law grand jury can, without any probable cause, go into any nook or cranny of government — local, state or federal — research anything that’s going on and root out corruption,” Dowdell said. “We want to government to recognize the contract we call the constitution, and start obeying the law. It’s very simple.”

How far back can this vigilante committee go in the name of "justice" ?
with three hots and a cot waiting for them:
Anyone call the Secret Service on these goobers yet?
With the Committee for Public Safety. The result was executing over 40,000 people in less than a year's time.
It is remembered as La Terreur
Before it ended the committee members were having each other executed.
Most likely my dog will learn quantum mechanics. 
Who knew?
