We've been seeing cases of voter intimidation and interference for days now. In this case, Caleb James Williams, 18, fucked around, and now he's in the finding out stage after wielding a machete with an 18-inch blade outside a polling station in Florida on Tuesday to intimidate voters.

Williams is a Trump supporter. The teenager brandished the weapon when two ladies, aged 54 and 71, were with a group holding signs supporting Kamala Harris for President.

NBC News reports:

Williams was arrested on charges of aggravated assault for allegedly brandishing his weapon at two unidentified women, ages 71 and 54, and improper exhibition of a weapon, Neptune Beach Police Department said.

The local Democratic campaign said it was "deeply concerned" about the Tuesday's events, in which it said a group of young men waving signs supporting former President Donald Trump confronted a group holding signs promoting Kamala Harris.

Police Chief Michael J. Key Jr. said, "This goes way beyond expressing freedom of speech — to say your piece is First Amendment-protected right but that goes out the window the moment you raise a machete over your head in a threatening manner."

No shit.
