That ICE agent looks a lot like a protestor.

In a stand your ground state?

Haha, ok. Good luck, Attorney General James Uthmeier.

If an armed protestor shoots a driver who is driving at them with intent to cause bodily harm, they... Both have the right to possibly kill one another?

Driver has the green light. Gunman has the green light.

Cool, cool. Makes sense.

"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you."

He continued, “You get 20 points for adult males, 30 points for adult females, and 50 points for children. Points can be redeemed for ‘DesantisBucks’ once you reach 500 points or more.”

EDIT: a word

Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.

So we have the right to hit you with our car Ron?

Awesome, so if you see those maga people at crosswalks or outside of planned parenthood, go ahead and run them down

In that case, I guess it's ok to splatter the folks protesting in front of planned parenthood?

Fact check: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said drivers in his state are allowed to hit protesters if they feel as though their life is being threatened. So technically true. But still not great

This is just one more reason why there needs to be an organization participating in protest spaces specifically to provide armed security, same as Black Panthers provided security for civil rights protests.

People won't be so willing to drive into a crowd of protesters if the bloc has an armed perimeter.

A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.

This belongs in something like c/evilpeople more than nottheonion

Free speech is where people legally violently kill or injure you for speaking

Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?

At this point Republicans are just being idiots. They say whatever 1940s idiot shit pops into their head.

Bear this in mind next time something like a unite the right or Jan 6 happens.

"Law and order"

What if we hit him with a car?

De Santis may be a sack of shit but that doesn't justify the misleading headline in this case. He was giving a specific example of escaping "when a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you." DeSantis says so many outrageous things for real and pushes outrageous policies for real, there's no need to misquote him.

That means I have the right to put 9 rounds into the drivers seat before that happens.

He doesn't "say" that. This law was passed a while ago

I’m firing my gun at the driver in defense if they’re trying to hit me with their car

And people wonder why South Park stopped making episodes. The world of South Park is normal compared to this.
