‘If you value your life, don’t come to Polk County’: Sheriff Judd warns rioters, looters

“If you try to break into their homes, to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of their house with their guns.”

[Jacquerie]

Try reading the article.

The parts of the bill (HB 1 ) that most upset Democrats grant civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road; prevent people arrested for rioting or offenses committed during a riot from bailing out of jail until their first court appearance; and impose a six-month mandatory sentence for battery on a police officer during a riot.(from reply 2 on this thread)

The law gives the rest of us power to stand up to the thugs.. no one expects rioters to follow the law.

“Oh? A law against rioting? And it will be obeyed?”

None of this will matter at all if the DA won’t procecute or pleas it down to unlawful assembly. Or the judge goes for time served.

If it isn’t obeyed it will be ENFORCED.

If not by the Florida National Guard then by Florida State Marshals leading 10,000 armed militia volunteers.

First each state needs to set up their standards before civic action becomes a riot:

What classifies as a riot?

Definition. A concerted action: (1) made in furtherance of an express common purpose; (2) through the use or threat of violence, disorder, or terror to the public; and (3) resulting in a disturbance of the peace. Under common law, the crime of riot requires the assemblage of three or more actors.
