In that case, I guess it's ok to splatter the folks protesting in front of planned parenthood?

That ICE agent looks a lot like a protestor.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Protesting immigrants seems to be their thing

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I thought it was the protestors wearing masks! Honest!

[-] Railing5132@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

He's authorizing terrorism against free speech as a loophole for getting around the first amendment

Free speech is where people legally violently kill or injure you for speaking

[-] diffusive@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I think you are forgetting the right of killing and injuring.

Land of freedom!

/s (if not obvious)

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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

Childish Gambino is apparently a modern prophet

Or somebody whoat least once talked to an old black person, old hippie, old communist, or old queer.

What if we hit him with a car?

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago
[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Greg Abbot was hit by a tree struck by a lightning bolt from god. If you run over DeSantis you're just doing the lord's work.

That means I have the right to put 9 rounds into the drivers seat before that happens.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

or i was thinking, ram the car that is ramming protestors.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure a florida jury will buy it but it is abiding the spirit of the law in florida to merc nearby drivers because you fear for your life.

"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.”

EDIT: a word

God damn, I managed to eat an onion on a /c/nottheonion comment... I rushed over the article to find where that quote was from, only to feel dumber and dumber as it dawned on me that it is, in fact, way past bedtime.

Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

No not those protests

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Put in the work and publish it. The left is full up on “idea men.”

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I’m firing my gun at the driver in defense if they’re trying to hit me with their car

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

He doesn't "say" that. This law was passed a while ago

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

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.

Awesome, so if you see those maga people at crosswalks or outside of planned parenthood, go ahead and run them down

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.

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

So we have the right to hit you with our car Ron?

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think Ron DeSantis getting hit by a car would be for everyone's safety.

At this point Republicans are just being idiots. They say whatever 1940s idiot shit pops into their head.
