A construction worker with anti-government beliefs is accused of fatally stabbing his boss, who was a “proud and outspoken American and pro-Donald Trump,” according to an Orange County sheriff’s arrest affidavit.
Mason Trever Toney, 28, was arrested Monday on murder charges in the death of his boss, William Knight, 28.
The fatal stabbing was reported at 10:45 a.m. at a construction site at Exit 254 of Florida’s Turnpike near State Road 528.
According to the arrest affidavit, a 911 caller reported that his coworker, identified as Toney, stabbed and killed their boss.
Deputies said they found Knight dead next to an excavator with a brand new American flag over the side of his body. Witnesses said Toney was spotted carrying a backpack, which likely was carrying the flag, according to the affidavit.
Witnesses said Toney and Knight were friends outside of the workplace, and Knight picked up Toney earlier in the day. Witnesses said Toney and Knight got into an argument, possibly over the opposing views of the U.S. government.
According to the affidavit, Toney is very outspoken about his beliefs and has said the government is out to get him.
Witnesses said they heard Knight yell for help and saw Toney repeatedly stabbing him with a trowel, according to the affidavit.
Deputies said witnesses tried to stop the attack and threw things at Toney, who jumped into a truck and drove away while calling the witnesses “terrorists.”
Toney was later taken into custody in Brevard County and placed under arrest.
Toney is being held in Orange County without bond.

Anti-gub'mint, libertarian goofball.
BTW, they had been friends since childhood.

Murder is not appropriate but perhaps a good thrashing of Trumpers meets the mark.
They would like to do it to anti-Trumpers, but the nutless sacks are not man enough.
Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
This happened very near where I live, so it's been on the local news a lot.
The two of them had been friends for most of their lives and the guy who died, was the job foreman and had gotten him the job and drove him to and from work every day.
Probably a little bit more than politics going on there.

Both.
Just because most libertarians love Trump does not mean they don't hate the gub'mint enough to kill another Trumper in an argument.
And as I've pointed out twice, they were lifelong friends in a boss/underling relationship.
It's very possible that something personal rather than political was going on between them
The dead guy got him the job, probably bottom rung, and drove him to and from work.
Maybe some envy and resentment at play.

They briefly spoke to the victim's mother on the local news yesterday. She was clutching her son's yellow safety vest to her chest and while talking, she lost it. Started crying and buried her face into her husband's chest, sobbing. Another young gal in the background crying, too. I even got choked up.
Oddly enough, just the day before, a very similar thing happened an hour away in Daytona Beach. Just like in this case, a young-ish man is stabbed to death at a motel he'd moved into so he could be closer to work, by a friend he'd known since childhood.
Very strange and sad.
