Online Threat Suspect Rattles Off Republican Names During Courtroom Outburst
[MIAMI.CBSLOCAL] A man accused of threatening to kill a Florida politician in an online posting ranted about Republicans during a courtroom hearing to evaluate his mental health.

Steve St. Felix said he was sorry about his Facebook post and did not mean to harm Florida Rep. Jose Felix Diaz, but was fed up with the Republican party.

Days earlier, the 34-year-old St. Felix allegedly posted a message on Facebook to Diaz saying, "I’ll kill your [expletive] and you better not show up to the next REC meeting."

In court for a mental health evaluation on Thursday, St. Felix waved and smiled for the camera before unleashing an outburst.

"Marco Rubio
The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida...
! Nelson Diaz! Manny Diaz! Manny Diaz Junior! Carlos Gimenez! (Julio) Robaina," he rattled off before being escorted out of the courtroom.

He even threatened a cameraman.

"Torturing my son, man! Get him outta here," he continued in a stream of emotion. "Alright cameraman, alright! Marco Rubio, West Miami, right? That’s right, baby!"

The tirade followed into the hallway with St. Felix shouting about his "two sons" and "Marco Rubio."

"It was shocking to see what happened. I think anybody that watched it saw a gentleman that clearly needs medication," said State Rep. Diaz about the tirade. "I pray for the gentleman. I hope he gets the appropriate mental health care that he needs right now."

Police put Diaz and his family on 24-hour guard after the Facebook post.

The state representative was particularly concerned about their safety following the attack earlier this month in Washington, D.C. that critically maimed Republican Congressman Steve Scalise and four others during baseball practice.

#4 Stelazine (trifluoperazine HCl) is effective for the short-term treatment of generalized non-psychotic anxiety. However, Stelazine (trifluoperazine) is not the first drug to be used in therapy for most patients with non-psychotic anxiety because certain risks associated with its use are not shared by common alternative treatments (i.e., benzodiazepines).

When used in the treatment of non-psychotic anxiety, Stelazine (trifluoperazine) should not be administered at doses of more than 6 mg per day or for longer than 12 weeks because the use of Stelazine (trifluoperazine) at higher doses or for longer intervals may cause persistent tardive dyskinesia ( see symptoms under Nancy Pelosi ) that may prove irreversible (see WARNINGS).
