DeSantis is the best governor in the nation - in Gavin Newsom’s CA the expectation is that you allow yourself to be hauled out of your vehicle and get your skull bashed in by a cinder block, a la Reginald Denny.

Absolutely! Threaten people in a car and get pancaked.

This is bone headed no matter how anyone feels about this guy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s bone headed to not want to be pulled from your vehicle and beaten to death by a mob?

There’s a Christmas jingle that goes “up on the sidewalk, thump, thump, thump”. 😉

I wouldn’t roll the dice in a place with a rat DA. In Austin an uber driver just got convicted for pulling out a gun and shooting a rioter who pointed a rifle at him. Abbott pardoned him so now the rat prosecutor charged him with endangering the rioters when he failed to come to a complete stop before turning right on a red light.

As crazy as that sounds, about ten years ago, my mother was nearly blocked in Orlando one night by a bum with a string of shopping carts across her lane and waving for her to stop. She had the good sense to speed up and steer around him.

The fear should be required to be reasonable; but, with modern video evidence, that won’t be hard to show.

Fair enough.

Both cars have backup cameras but the truck hasn’t... mirrors only...

Hathaway Bridge is on the list between Panama City and PC Beach. Should be interesting.

Excellent.

He needed to stay as governor of FL.

We need ONE governor at least to show the others how it should be done.

“I feared for my life that was endangered” is the key statement.

Elsewhere you can’t drive off if your life is threatened?

It’s just the law.

Florida Statute 776.013(3)(a):

The person against whom the defensive force is used or threatened has the right to be in or, is a lawful resident of the dwelling, residence, or vehicle, such as an owner, lessee, or title holder, and there is not an injunction for protection from domestic violence or a written pretrial supervision order of no contact against that person.

Florida Statute 776.013 (4):

A person who unlawfully and by force enters or attempts to enter a person’s dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence.

It’s very simple if it is read as it is.

Drive to a riot where rioters are blocking cars and setting fire to them...have you and your occupants armed to the teeth...target rich environment and quit shooting when they are no longer surrounding your car. Run over the dead and wounded while exiting the area.

They wouldn’t be arrested. Learn to read.

You can, of course. And then you put your future in the hands of a Soros-funded DA and a jury that somehow looks a lot like the person you ran over.

“ They wouldn’t be arrested. Learn to read.”

FR used to be an exchange of ideas not mob think.

That aside, I know how to read. A very reputable private high school pays me to teach English and American lit.

What people been to learn, I would suggest, is how far you can trust politicians
…and lawyers -in desantis’ case. Especially in his case, in fact, as he was one of the very few in his position who turned on Trump

It’s an idiotic thing to say for a governor
