That ICE agent looks a lot like a protestor.
Protesting immigrants seems to be their thing
I thought it was the protestors wearing masks! Honest!
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

Fuck yeah, Night City here we come!
What a country!
"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.”

Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.
No not those protests
So we have the right to hit you with our car Ron?
I hope he says no, thus protesting your request...
Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to "flee for your safety."
are you fleeing for your safety surrounded by ron de santises?
Awesome, so if you see those maga people at crosswalks or outside of planned parenthood, go ahead and run them down
I don't understand how these MAGA Morons can't figure out that these laws they want are two-edged swords. If they can use it against normal people, then normal people can use it against them, too.
That's because you still think the system will act fairly, it won't. If you hit someone the administration likes, you're in trouble, if you someone they don't like, you're a hero. There's never been any intentions of fairness from the republicans, rules for thee not for me.
In that case, I guess it's ok to splatter the folks protesting in front of planned parenthood?
Fact check: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said drivers in his state are allowed to hit protesters if they feel as though their life is being threatened. So technically true. But still not great
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.
The Xitter post cheering the speech caught my attention, so I clicked through to the X user, "iAnonPatriot" and just have to say, wow.
It starts off with his bio image being literal hands goatse'ing through the virtual Matrix grid, and it only gets worse from that level of basic. Just a red-pill Nazi fever dream in feed form. 610K followers.
Videos of protestors getting abused are his favorite, apparently. One top one is police firing gas into apparently peaceful protestors. The protestor kicks it back, walks back and is just standing there doing nothing threatening, and then apparently gets shot with a rubber(?) bullet and lies motionless for a moment before someone picks him up and he walks off. The caption this guy gave is "HOLY SH*T Perfect shot.. 🤣🤣🤣". Anti-LGBTQ posts feature as well. General concentrated bile into a convenient feed.
So I guess this "influencer" is what Gen Z is getting fed by algorithms and told is normal day-in and day-out?
Words always evolve, but it's kind of a shame that "patriot" got turned into "I completely lack empathy and am a psychopathic piece of shit bootlicker."
A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.
This belongs in something like c/evilpeople more than nottheonion
Free speech is where people legally violently kill or injure you for speaking

Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?
"Law and order"
Realistically it's a "Stand Your Ground" situation for the protestor if they are threatened with deadly force from a car attack, so the protestors can legally shoot drivers who are attempting to run them over. So if Rhonda wants to escalate that's what they are asking for, GTA street wars basically.
At this point Republicans are just being idiots. They say whatever 1940s idiot shit pops into their head.
Bear this in mind next time something like a unite the right or Jan 6 happens.
The jan 6 riotors are part of ICE right now
What if we hit him with a car?
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.
That means I have the right to put 9 rounds into the drivers seat before that happens.
He doesn't "say" that. This law was passed a while ago
