Florida Man Arrested For Attempting To “Barbecue” Child Molesters

On a violent quest for justice, this Florida man planned to eradicate his hometown of child molesters via the gril.

Osceola County is known for being a sex offender haven, as it isn’t in the restricted range of schools, playgrounds, and churches, and there is a history of registered sex offenders living at the Friendly Village Inn & Motel in Kissimmee, Fla.

50-year-old Florida man Jorge Porto-Sierra subsequently took it upon himself to do something about those convicted sex offenders in his hometown — by setting them on fire.

An Osceola County detective said that Porto-Sierra freely admitted to his plan and he has now been charged with four counts of attempted premeditated murder.

According to the police report, a man was standing outside his room at the Village Inn when Porto-Sierra jumped out of his car and began screaming at the individual. Terrified, the man ran back into his room, prompting Porto-Sierra to break one of the motel’s windows and pour gasoline inside.

The enraged Porto-Sierra also reportedly yelled, “You’re going to die child molester! I’m coming in!” Meanwhile, the man and his roommate escaped through the back window.

In addition, Porto-Sierra allegedly attacked two other individuals inside a car in the motel parking lot, first by pouring gasoline into the car through an open window. When the driver attempted to flee, Porto-Sierra then got into his black Ford Focus and started ramming their car.

Deputies then arrived on the scene, where they say Porto-Sierra surrendered right away. Waiving his Miranda rights, Porto-Sierra confessed and told the authorities, “they raped kids, they are child molesters that all live here and deserve to die.”

WESH 2 News reported that at least two of the four victims are convicted sex offenders.

When the police asked why he didn’t follow through with the plan, Jorge Porto-Sierra responded, “because you got here too soon.”
