Ron DeSantis Says Floridians Have Right to Hit Protesters With Cars

[Michael Cole]

Protesting is great. One of the great freedoms afforded to us living in the US. However, the line should be drawn when you’re blocking traffic of citizens trying to live their lives. There’s zero reason, justification or benefit to blocking traffic or threatening innocent bystanders. It’s actually counterproductive to their cause.

It is counterproductive. King was successful because his marches were not only peaceful but pacifistic. If modern protestors want to claim water hose and dog treatment, they need to look like victims. Actual victims lose the focus when a car is set on fire.

The objection has gone from ICE raids to militarization of the city. That's what's wrong. Five burning cars does not require the Marines.

 

[snakestretcher]

You're actually arguing that if someone is attacked, they don't have a right to do everything they can to escape.

But DeSantis is the one you're saying is ignorant....

No, that isn't what I'm saying. Comprehension of basic English is clearly a problem for you.

 

[snakestretcher]

You fail to understand the situation.

Your car is surrounded. You are in fear of your life.

You have no place to go but through the people.

What do you do?

The one thing you don't do is run people down, unless you want to go down for vehicular manslaughter-or worse, murder.

 

[snakestretcher]

The person using the road the way it is supposed to be used is not at fault for any conflict. The jaywalkers are.

Idiotic comment.

 

[snakestretcher]

1. Expedited deportation without a hearing is completely legal in the US.
2. You're suggesting that criminals who threaten, assault, and falsely imprison others should be allowed to engage in these crimes without consequence because illegal immigrants get deported. That's an absolutely moronic argument.

You assume all those deported are criminals. And no, anyone resident in the US, regardless of their immigration status, is afforded the same rights and Constitutional protection as you-including due process. That said America isn't exactly the gold standard when it comes to observing and upholding human rights.

 

[snakestretcher]

Nope. That is in no way implied.

His own words aren't implication. 'What he really means is...' That isn't an acquittal. We all read his words. There's no ambiguity in what the idiot said.

 

[snakestretcher]

Open the link in the OP.

"And so if you drive off and hit one of these people it's their fault for impinging on you". So what do you think that means?

 

[braindrain]

Hey Ron why stop there?
Give your brown shirts a large backhoe.
That way they can get more bodies in the bucket in one pass.

Have Republicans really sunk this low?
Disgraceful.

So either you are just lying about what was said or you think protesters should be above the law and free to threaten violence.

Which is it.

 

[braindrain]

You are assuming there will be a 'violent mob'?
It is called a protest and the right is covered in the Constitution.
Ever heard of it?
Now would Donnie love to provoke violence?
Of course, another distraction from him disastrous BBB and a chance to play army with his goon squads.

Maybe go back reread what Ron said. For comprehension this time.

 

[braindrain]

Changing the subject I see.

If the protestors are violating their permit, cite them.
If the protestors are blocking the road, ask them to move back.
If they refuse to move back, arrest them.
But to agree with Desantis that '.Floridians Have Right to Hit Protesters With Cars' just shows how low and despicable MAGA has gone.

That you think lying about what was said when it’s blatantly obvious that you are lying is a good argument is hilarious.

 

[braindrain]

And yet another reason to not visit or spend vacation money in Flori-duh.

Dont even have the integrity to admit you lied huh?
Not very surprising.

Dont even have the integrity to admit you lied huh?
Not very surprising.

I don't think she was ever informed heard something didn't give it to bs test the narratives that all people on this end of politics are evil and want to eat your babies then whatever crap they're accused up for most obviously be true.

It's called partisanship bias and it really really stunts the minds of a lot of people.

 

[braindrain]

DeSantis is an ignorant prick. So running someone down is the fault of the person being run down, because they delayed you getting home for dinner?

Blatantly lying about what was said is not the flex you think it is.

 

[braindrain]

I wonder how many "roll coal" low IQ maga are going to take this as some sort of pass to drive through crowds.

Seeing as it is the left that can’t comprehend what was actually said you calling others low IQ is rather ironic.

Ron DeSantis says Floridians have right to hit protesters with cars

"That's their fault for impinging on you," Florida's governor said.

www.newsweek.com

Just more right wing suppression of free speech, coming from DeSantis here with his looking to ramp up stochastic terrorism and have protesters get killed and ran over by drivers.

This is not quite what you're implying. "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.

 

[j brown's body]

The fighting and arguing over this issue is mind boggling considering that Trump is already abandoning it in prefered areas.

 

[braindrain]

Then we have a right to slash some tires.

At least more on the left are starting to be honest in their support of violence.
Honesty is always the best policy.

 

[braindrain]

Ron DeSantis Says Floridians Have Right to Hit Protesters With Cars.​

Does that mean if Floridians see a convicted protestor from J6 out on the street they can hit them with their car?

It’s funny seeing you swallow the media’s lie so willingly.
Reminds me of the maga clowns.

 

[braindrain]

Sheriff wants to shoot people DeSantis wants to drive over them. They force a senator to ground and cuff him.

Really great people, and all for a policy Trump is backing away from, at the moment.

Republicans have become accustomed to state sanctioned violence and they like it.

Lying is not the strong argument you seem to think it is.

 

[snakestretcher]

Blatantly lying about what was said is not the flex you think it is.

You clearly didn't read what DeSantis said. See post #382.

 

[braindrain]

Ron Desantis, actually.

Running someone over intentionally is murder.

No he didn’t. Why lie about it.

 

[braindrain]

You clearly didn't read what DeSantis said. See post #382.

It’s pretty clear that either you either didn’t read what he said, failed to comprehend what he said, or are lying about it. That’s the only three possible options.

And seeing as you dishonestly left out his whole quote it’s pretty obvious what the answer is.

 

[braindrain]

That’s exactly what DeSantis said, what you’re all defending: running over protesters. You’re saying, block and I’ll kill you with my car.

That is simply a lie. And an easily disproven one at that.

 

[braindrain]

Ironic.

Now read the rest of his quote and stop dishonestly taking things out of context.
Wait what am I talking about That’s ask you ever do.

 

[CLAX1911]

The fighting and arguing over this issue is mind boggling considering that Trump is already abandoning it in prefered areas.

The argument is mostly people completely profoundly ignorant of the law arguing against what they've been told the law was, but are far too lazy to read it.

You know law is public record right you can go find it and read it I've posted it here several times I'll provide it to you if you want to read it and see how wrong you are about it.
