    Default Florida Anti-Riot Law

    I like DeSantis.


    "The law, which goes into effect immediately, grants civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road and allows authorities to hold arrested demonstrators from posting bail until after their first court date. The legislation increases the charge for battery on a police officer during a riot and adds language that could force local governments to justify a reduction in law enforcement budgets.

    The bill allows people to sue local governments over personal or property damages if they were determined to have interfered with law enforcement response during civil unrest. It also increases penalties for protesters who block roadways or deface public monuments and creates a new crime, "mob intimidation."

    Hope he is ready to run for POTUS in 2024. May be a bit early for him, but he would be a damn fine candidate.

    My man!

    The ambulance chasers in our state would NEVER allow this bill.

    DeSantis is the man. I've always considered FL a northern shithole in the south, but he is showing conservatives how it's done. Hope he runs.

    Seems like a good time to develop some brush guards with impaling gizmos.

    Have you ever been to Florida (not including Miami)?

    I have. have family in cocoa and Orlando. Spent a lot of time there, and Naples, in my late teens and early twenties, but not in some years though. Lot of northern retirees and hispanics, but looking like much more conservative than I gave it credit for.

    Snow plows might become the new norm in FL

    What about criminal immunity? Sounds like you can still be found guilty in criminal court.

    Get out of the big cities and see if you still think it’s a “northern shithole”. Just as southern as anywhere in South Carolina. I’d move to Florida tomorrow if the company I work for would let me transfer.

    The powers that be will have him DESTROYED before then.

    its already started in the media.

    There will be pictures of him at a 1960's lynching before its over.

    We are in scorched earth time in our country's history. Liberals know no bounds in defeating conservative ideals.

    Looks like maybe even more so, with a governor with big balls. I stand corrected. Definitely looking like a good escape plan if the blue plague spreads here.

    At a time when riots are declared “peaceful protests” and peaceful protests are declared “insurrection”, be careful what you wish for. Laws like these can be dangerous depending on who determines the context.

    The only “riot” in the last year was on January 6, 2021...

    Florida is the only state that you have to go north to get to the South...

    But good on him for the law, hopefully other states follow suit.
