Awesome, so if you see those maga people at crosswalks or outside of planned parenthood, go ahead and run them down
I don’t understand how these MAGA Morons can’t figure out that these laws they want are two-edged swords. If they can use it against normal people, then normal people can use it against them, too.
That’s because you still think the system will act fairly, it won’t. If you hit someone the administration likes, you’re in trouble, if you someone they don’t like, you’re a hero. There’s never been any intentions of fairness from the republicans, rules for thee not for me.
This is the number one flaw with the “rule of law” and State authority structure. The enforcement of the law always comes down to how the ruling body of authority, the State and its representatives, interpret the laws. It is why they are intentionally written to be vague, to allow a court wiggle room in how to apply the letter of a law to a unique situation, and many in fact contradict each other if argued a certain way.
If the system becomes corrupted, which it often is due to how top-down power attracts people who seek control over others, those vagaries can be used as weapons against those who oppose their power and to systematically exploit marginalized people.
That works great as long as Right-wingers stay in power. They have this overwhelming arrogance that tells them they will NEVER leave office, but then they always manage to be so terrible at governing that they eventually get kicked out. Then all those oppressive laws can be used against them, if Dems could muster up any sense of courage.
Right, when the Democrats are in power they’re afraid of Republicans, when the Republicans are in power they’re afraid of nothing
Maga has gotten the green light that rules don’t apply to them especially after j6 pardons. If someone runs over a maga idiot you can guarantee courts will throw the book at the driver. Rules for the and not for me.
Issue is, they don’t want equal laws for all. They want a hierarchical system, where people upper the ladder have more rights and more protections, because “it worked well for the kings”. If they want to conform to this rule of reactionary movements, they will likely make it so, that they’ll specify “illegal protests” somewhere…
only if they attack you.
He said if they need to flee for their safety which maga snowflakes see a black person and will assume they’re being attacked and need to flee for safety.
And people wonder why South Park stopped making episodes. The world of South Park is normal compared to this.
I read that as Protestants and wondered how long Desantis had been a Fenian
imagine hitting someone in the car, then the police arrive but dismiss you when they find out the person you hit is a Protestant
Same with right to hit Nazis and police with cars.
only if they attack you.
You really believe if the police attack you you can run them over with your car?
Morally, it depends.
“Have Right to Hit [liberal, democratic, equality-seeking, anti-fascist] Protesters With Cars [but not pro-fascist, talibangelical, NAZI demonstrators]”
The subtext is important.
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
Using the “Kyle Rittenhouse” excuse!
“I was so fearful, that I drove from my house in IL to another state with a rifle and shot people because, “I feared for my life! Not like it was murder or anything!”
So now all MAGOTS are free range, hit em if you see them and feel threatened!! So in FL you can run someone over via the governor! So fucking dumb! I can’t even try to understand what is truly going on in America because no one can other than all the oligarchs and billionaires running the country/world!!
Which means the same as their ridiculous stand your ground law: right wing traitor lunatics will get away with actual crimes, and normal decent folks will get busted.
Which begs the question I’ve been asking for some time now: If someone tries to run someone over, and they respond by (non-fatally) shooting the driver, who gets arrested? (Assume both are white republicans).
To make matters more complicated the driver is homeless and living in their motorhome, so were they also attacked in their own home?
Florida has Castle Doctrine AND Stand Your Ground. Anybody comes into your home or vehicle, give them an overdose of lead.
Which is the case pretty much anywhere, you have the right to escape.
I’ve seen videos of random people just surrounded after a football match or some other shit and they start just fuvking with the car and jump on the bonnet and try to open doors. I would 100% just floor it and good luck guys. But i don’t think that’s what he means.
Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?
That ICE agent looks a lot like a protestor.
Protesting immigrants seems to be their thing
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.
Skin color, last name and political affiliation will determine who’s the victim and who’s the assailant
That sounds like maximum USA . Two people not caring about the other, only thinking about themselves, and neither willing to just back off
Childish Gambino is apparently a modern prophet

Or somebody whoat least once talked to an old black person, old hippie, old communist, or old queer.
The first armed protest on a freeway will clarify everything.
There is nothing the far-right would love more than to bring the Fallujah strategy to Tampa Bay. You are absolutely off your rocker if you think the modern American political leadership is not chomping at the bit to drop a MOAB on the Woke Mob.
The first armed protest on a freeway will be smeared across the pavement, while FOX News anchors cheer and drink champagne in between cuts to Donald Trump on the deck of an aircraft carrier under a big banner that says “Mission Accomplished”.
Fuck yeah, Night City here we come!
What a country!
Just an FYI if you don’t smoke weed. Buy an AR15 and just be prepared. But if you do smoke weed. Buy it anyways but don’t admit you smoke weed. Ever.
what the fuck does this mean?
Since marijuana, or more specifically cannabis-derived THC, is still illegal federally and you mark yes when filling out the federal firearms paperwork you will not be allowed to buy a firearm.
However, if you select No, but do use cannabis-derived THC, and admit to or it or law enforcement finds out then you’ve committed a felony. It’s the same law they applied to Hunter Biden’s case.
Why they felt the need to comment on that specifically in this thread? No idea either.
Note: I’m not aware of any cases yet that are for hemp-derived THC products that meet the legality under the 2018 Farm Bill. Thats kind of a gray area currently, so you’re taking your chances.
Excellent response, thanks!
Thanks! It helps that I just had to complete that paperwork for the first time in 15ish years; I don’t think those portions were worded the same then.
Happy cake day btw!
I think he’s saying that you can buy a semiautomatic rifle if you don’t use the Marijuana, but if you do use the Marijuana, don’t tell anyone. Maybe they used the Marijuana before posting.
I’m dyslexic as F. So my writing is always wonky.
In that case, I guess it’s ok to splatter the folks protesting in front of planned parenthood?
We also have a policy that if you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.
it’s a completely pointless law. You were already allowed to defend yourself if attacked by a mob (but not if you drive into the mob and then they start attacking you)
so yeah, if you go to a planned parenthood protest, and they all surround your car, threatening you and attacking your car, you can drive away.
A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.
He didn’t “authorize” anything. That’s not how laws or public policies are created. He’s just bloviating like all MAGA Nazis. If it actually happened, the person would be prosecuted based on the law, and their defense of “The governor said it was okay!” would not be accepted by the judge.
He’s authorizing terrorism against free speech as a loophole for getting around the first amendment
“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
Frankenstein approves
Deep cut
The whole “hitting pedestrians is worth points” trope originated from Death Race 2000, I think. Still, yeah! Weird old movie.
idiocracy is here. told ya’ll it’ll come. i am so looking forward for a wrestler to be president after kaiser trump. it will be magical.
Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.
