2020 - when the prophetic visions of Hollywood and literature are fulfilled.

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed legislation that he described as “bold” on Monday. Judging by the plain text of the proposal and the responses to it, bold is an understatement.
Under the “new criminal offenses” section established by the would-be Combatting Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act, DeSantis declared it a third-degree felony to obstruct traffic during an “unpermitted protest, demonstration or violent or disorderly assembly.” Notably, the next clause purports to remove liability for injury or death a driver causes if that driver is “fleeing for safety from a mob.
Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (D), who lost the gubernatorial election to DeSantis in 2018, immediately called for legal advocacy groups to bring “legal action,” saying that the DeSantis move “would have legalized the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville.”
“Avowed neo-Nazi” James Alex Fields Jr. was sentenced to centuries in prison for the running over and killing Heather Heyer when plowing his car into a crowd of counter-protesters during the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
DeSantis’s legislation would also criminalize the destruction of monuments and purports to to attach racketeering liability to “anyone who organizes or funds a violent or disorderly assembly.” DeSantis also seeks mandatory minimum sentences for striking law enforcement officers.

video evidence to the contrary. james fields needed a better lawyer.
Another good start, now OPEN UP FL 100%!!! You are allowing businesses to fail over a fake made up scamdemic.
Sheeesh!!!!!!!!
Talk about FAKE NEWS!
I heard DeSantis on Tucker.......Yes he’s ramping up LAW AND ORDER but he in no way described it like this headline!!!!!
Says the guy who was found naked and passed out in a pool of his own vomit, with a male prostitute, drugs, drug paraphernalia, semen and feces on the bed. Yeah, us Floridians really care about his opinion.
I wasn't aware that I needed permission to flee for my life using any means necessary.
Where aren’t we opened up 100%. I live in a fairly rural county, but neighboring counties have been open albeit with silly mask mandates.
It’s always good to be blessed with unattractive enemies.
Any place that limits businesses to less than 100% capacity, any place that requires face diapers, any place that mandates socialist distancing... Pretty much everywhere.
-—Where aren’t we opened up 100%-—
Bars, Schools, lottery headquarters, sports, mask mandates, blah, blah, blah....
It is a good feeling to have a great Governor!
2020 - when the prophetic visions of Hollywood and literature are fulfilled.
Hey Andrew, been caught in a shabby hotel with a male prostitute and a bunch of crack, Lately ya piece of crap?
Interesting...the article makes no mention about the changes to socerign liability that DeSantis is proposing.
That’s the really important bit to my mind.
Citizens will be able to sue the local government for damages for anything that happens to them.
If DeSantis gets that, that is huge.
Mr. DL has no shame!
if the mob is threatening, why shouldn’t someone in a car be able to flee?
i would say good call... stay on the curb mob.
stay on the curb.
Sow plow dealerships will bloom in...Florida now!
We don’t play that crap here. You go Gov. D
Zoom zoom...thump...
