What amendment protects the right to bang on, push, or threaten to drag someone from a car?I find GOPers interesting. It seems the only Amendment they wat the country to follow is the second so they can shoot people. Of course now in Florida you can shoose the way you want to kill someone, guns or cars. Ain't you lucky.
What about someone in a car trying to get away from a violent psychotic mob that has surrounded that someone's car and wants to Reginald Denny them?That shouldn't even be considered. Vehicular homicide is a serious offense even if it is pure negligence.
So you think people should allow themselves to be dragged from their car and beaten or have their car trashed?Anywhere in America, if you are surrounded by angry people pounding on your car and you drive through them, you won't get arrested.
You're lying again.As you know, that's not what right-wing extremists want. Right-wing extremists feel entitled to the right to run over people simply for being in the road.
Florida’s new ‘anti-riot’ law is vague and draconian
This Florida law makes it legal to kill and maim protestors by running into them with vehicles. The only law in the world that legalizes vehicular homicide.
This is a glimpse of the fascist state that Republicans are hell bent on imposing on America.
The new rules of engagement adopted by Florida for defending against rioters, looters, and arsonists became effective only last week, on April 19, 2021—an historical relevant date that any American ought to know well, as the battles of Lexington and Concord were fought on that date in 1775.
The new law was adopted in the form of legislative bill HB 1, a copy of which is embedded below.
It must be said, however, that HB1 does a lot of heavy lifting and gets a great deal done.
This newly adopted Florida legislation doesn’t actually change any of the state’s justified use of force laws, per se. Instead, it prohibits the obstruction of public roads by protestors (§ 316.2045), it broadens the scope of what qualifies as criminal conduct in the context of assault, battery, and certain property crimes (such as looting) and increases the penalties for much of this conduct in the context of a riot (§ 784.011. Assault, § 784.021. Aggravated Assault, § 784.03. Battery, § 784.045. Aggravated Battery, §784.07 assault or battery of first responders, § 806.13 Criminal Mischief, § 812.014. Theft and more), it enhances punishment for damage to historical monuments (§ 806.135 & § 872.02), it creates civil liability for town governments that fail to protect persons or property in the context of a riot (§ 768.28), it requires state approval for any local “defund the police” efforts (§ 166.241), it creates a new statute that prohibits mob intimidation (§ 784.0495), it creates a new statute that prohibits online intimidation or online publication of identifying information (§ 836.115), it creates a new statute that provides for civil immunity from a suit over damages sought by someone engaged in a riot—for example, a rioter who may have been struck by a fleeing person’s vehicle (§ 870.07), it provides revised definitions of “affray,” “riot,” and “aggravated riot” (§ 870.01), and very importantly it provides that for many of the acts of misconduct covered by HB1 bail will not be immediately available to the accused until they have appeared in court—this will prevent the current practice of immediate release of offenders allowing them to promptly re-engage in further rioting, looting, and arson.

Why are you lying? It only gives immunity to people who unintentionally hit someone.

Driver who had protesters jump on her car, block her path criticizes Raleigh police, protesters
A woman trapped inside her car by protesters Thursday evening on the way home from a grocery run says she is certain those who threatened her do not represent the Black Lives Matter movement.www.wral.com
Well it's obvious DeSantis doesn't think our mothers taught us any such thing.Makin shit up about people isn’t winning any arguments either. So if you want to try and start over we can.
Staying out of the street is the best way to not get run over. Did your parents not teach you that? If you are a parent did you teach your kids not to play on a busy street?
Now please explain how that common sense knowledge that most everyone has is in any way in favor of terroism by vehicle
Don't know how old you are or where you grew up, but folks have used the streets for protesting during my entire lifetime. As American as apple pie.
This is just legalized murder plain and simple and it will be struck down by the courts. Care to place a bet on that?
everyone has the right to defend themselves and escape a deadly environment. that this law allows that is a good thing.
Before you make a losing bet, I suggest you actually read a full and unbiased description of the law or the law itself before doing so.
Exactly what do you think is unlawful about prohibiting the obstruction of public roads by protestors (§ 316.2045)? What is unlawful about creating a "new statute that provides for civil immunity from a suit over damages sought by someone engaged in a riot—for example, a rioter who may have been struck by a fleeing person’s vehicle (§ 870.07),?"
Since when have individual people had the constitutional right to prevent traffic from using state roadways whenever they feel like it? If you think this simplification and rewrite of current Florida law (see crossed out words) is going to be overturned by the courts you are either completely ignorant of law, or can't read english. Here is 316.2045:

And here is the ONLY relevant changes to civil liability as applied to a person fleeing a riot in a vehicle:

For all the histrionic hairpulling you are known to do, there is nothing you imagine (or fabricate) there. Shame on you.
