DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "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.”
DeSantis’ comments come ahead of the “No Kings” protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.
I’ll have to remember that when Republican proud boys protest in Florida.
Remember this when federal agents surround your car and demand you exit. Desantis just said you can run them over if you fear for your life and flee to safety.
So by extension if I am peacefully protesting and somebody tries to hit me with a car/deadly weapon can I “Stand My Ground” and shoot at the driver? Asking for a friend.
You can run over ICE agents as long as you believe they are, in fact, protesters! It’s fascist governor approved!
No ID saying they are ICE, so they very well could be protestors! You have no way of knowing and feel threatened…
Also, aren’t many of them wearing masks? “Hell, I thought they were antifa and BLM!”
I think in Florida, they have that stand your ground thing which does extend past your home? If so, you would be totally fine in shooting the idiot that’s behind the wheel of the car. Also, if magats were protesting, well, you could run them over too I guess.
I mean, technically, DeSantis is a protester, he protests all types of shit
I’ll be at the protest in Orlando. I hope to see some of you there.
Saturday, 5 to 7:30 PM, 400 S. Orange Ave., Orlando, FL
The RW freaks sure do have an obsession with being able to run over protestors.
Yes that makes the RW freaks very weird. They are weird about this just like they are about so many other things…
