They must be expecting some serious violence.
Gov. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has declared a state of emergency in Alachua County, Florida, in preparation for an upcoming planned speech by white supremacist Richard Spencer.
Spencer is scheduled to speak Thursday at the University of Florida in Gainesville, and Scott said the decision was a proactive move based on the history of Spencer’s past speeches having “sparked protests and counterprotests resulting in episodes of violence, civil unrest and multiple arrests.”
“I find that the threat of a potential emergency is imminent,” Scott wrote in the seven-page executive order.
