If you kill someone, we might kill you back: Sheriff welcomes visitors with ominous warning

‘If you kill someone, we might kill you back’: Sheriff welcomes visitors with ominous warning

An unconventional welcome sign greets visitors in western Georgia.

It stands suitably outside the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, only a stone’s throw from the Alabama border, addressing would-be criminals and warning them not to cross the locals.

“Welcome to Harris County, Georgia,” it reads, sarcastically adding: “Our citizens have concealed weapons. If you kill someone, we might kill you back. We have ONE jail and 356 cemeteries. Enjoy your stay! -Sheriff Mike Jolley.”

The sheriff said it’s his saucy way of welcoming people to his county, while, at the same time, warning them that a number of the citizens exercise their right to bear arms.

What else does this cop brag about? The only county without schools? Did they lower the test scores to be cops.
