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

      He’s authorizing terrorism against free speech as a loophole for getting around the first amendment

      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.

      I think you are forgetting the right of killing and injuring.

      Land of freedom!

    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

        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”.

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

    “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

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

    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.

    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.
