LUBBOCK, TX (WBTV/CBSDFW.COM) -
A Texas judge is making headlines after he warned that a re-election of President Barack Obama would lead to a ‘civil war' and possible invasion of United Nations troops.
The comments were made by Lubbock County Judge Tom Head.
He is pushing a tax increase in his county to give extra money to the district attorney's office and Sheriff's Office to "beef up" its resources in case President Obama wins the November election.
"I don't want rookies," Head said flatly. "I want trained, equip and seasoned veteran officers to back me."
Judge Head said he's concerned the President would hand over sovereignty of the United States to the U.N. and that the American public would react violently.
"He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the U.S. to the United Nations, what's going to happen when that happens?" he told FOX 34 in Lubbock.
"I'm thinking worse case scenario - Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe…we're not just talking a few riots or demonstrations."
Head, a Republican said that if that happened - he, himself, will meet what he calls "the enemy."
"In front of their armored personnel carriers" to tell them they are not welcome, he said, and that he has the county sheriff to back him up.
"I don't want U.N. troops in Lubbock County," he said.
