DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "We also have a policy that if you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.
“And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.”
DeSantis’ comments come ahead of the “No Kings” protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.
So by extension if I am peacefully protesting and somebody tries to hit me with a car/deadly weapon can I “Stand My Ground” and shoot at the driver? Asking for a friend.
You can run over ICE agents as long as you believe they are, in fact, protesters! It’s fascist governor approved!
Remember this when federal agents surround your car and demand you exit. Desantis just said you can run them over if you fear for your life and flee to safety.
I mean, technically, DeSantis is a protester, he protests all types of shit
Hey Ron if I ask to run you over with my car and you protest and say no, can I run you over with my car now?
If I knew this, I would have drove over a lot of J6ers.

Ron DeSantis has the right to be absolutely demolished by Disney and have his presidential bid collapse before his very eyes.
The RW freaks sure do have an obsession with being able to run over protestors.
Yes that makes the RW freaks very weird. They are weird about this just like they are about so many other things…
What’s the definition of threatens though?
Having empathy.
Not in California.
I didn’t think the governor of Florida is talking to Californians
Then he should stay out of the conversation.
He wasn’t in that conversation. No one is having the conversation you’re addressing.
I’ll have to remember that when Republican proud boys protest in Florida.
Mods on Lemmy allow this but any kind of retaliation against the Nat-C’s gets you dinged. Absolute hypocrites
You can say the word Nazi like a grown up
But he’s not talking about Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; he’s talking about nationalist-christians.
This post isn’t about “hey everybody go kill protestors.” It’s about “hey if you’re protesting I’m Florida expect some Nazi to try and kill you with their car so be careful.”
Obligatory fuck nazis, but how do the two correlate?
AAAAAAAAAND got dinged for that too. Pathetic. Won’t even state the rule broken. “Rule #” doesn’t mean anything.
