Ron DeSantis Says Floridians Have Right to Hit Protesters With Cars

Cars have brakes, they absolutely have a choice.
As do the protestors to follow the law.

As usual, this all comes down to which political view you happen to support. If the protestors were of the other stripe you'd be rushing to defend the drivers.
 
This is the tactic. Strike fear into the populace. Keep everyone home.
Or perhaps not at home, but cognizant of the law.
A responsible governor would be stressing peaceful protest. DeSantis is essentially threatening his own constituents by enabling his other constituents to commit violence.

Pretty sick shit.
Or to let protestors know that breaking the law is frowned upon?
The ability to commit that violence has always been on the side of the law, IF (this is important), others are breaking the law and threatening and/or could otherwise cause harm.

Nope. I'd say the same thing. If protestors are illegally blockading a road, call the police and do not drive through them.

He hasn't, nor has anyone here espoused the 'driving through them' angle that you and many others keep touting.
 
Post after post after post of MAGA encouraging the driver to drive through them, followed by post after post after post of MAGA playing the victim, whining that they aren't encouraging the driver to drive through them.

Dont be daft. We are talking about drivers who unknowingly and suddenly find themselves in a situation where they happen upon a protest that they knew nothing about, getting stuck at a red light and/or having a mob of people quickly surround their vehicle on all sides. Do you check the news every day to see what is happening on your route to work every morning, or where you will be running errands that day?
 
Blocking a public road without proper permitting is illegal. Let's start there.

Do you agree with this fact?
Agree, and deliberately utilizing an automobile as a deadly weapon by intentionally driving it into a crowd of people is tantamount to attempted homicide. Do you agree with that?
 
So, a mob of people surrounding your car, perhaps to start jumping on your hood, banging on your windshield and passenger-side windows or bricking them to try and break them and extricate you from your vehicle to beat you senseless, THAT is free speech to you? That is what DeSantis is talking about here. A MOB surrounding your vehicle and impeding your progress. You HAVE to assume, for your own safety, that they are not attempting to sell you cookies. You stomp on that pedal and get your ass out of there.
Do you realize your post makes it sound like you’re getting excited imagining something that will never happen giving you an excuse to run over some libs?
 
Dishonest post. He was referencing rioters being enabled to riot.

Why are you misrepresenting his post? It must be because you know you don’t have a logically sound argument.

Post in good faith instead of making dishonest posts.
LOL he clearly said only “protest” and y’all liked the post. Oops.

Posting more easily-disprovable lies, eh? Here's the exchange that was being referenced:

It is sick to watch people who enable rioters, and destruction, and then do not understand the threat others see them as.

They do that's the point to threaten you. It's not a protest. It's authoritarianism.

You just look silly at this point. They were talking about rioters, as clearly stated in @Lord of Planar's post. The fact that you have to desperately cling to posting obvious lies demonstrates an obvious self-awareness on your part that you've got nothing in the way of a cohesive argument.

You make this too easy... :ROFLMAO:
 
More strawmen by you. We're talking about violent drivers' running over nonviolent protesters.

No, that's where you're trying to steer the conversation. I was talking about violence, and made a factual observation about violence.

When you rely on creating fake victimhood in order to make a point, you have no point in the first place.
 
You’re confusing it with jan 6th.
Who is the king you think is being protested? I assume it's Donald Trump. Well he was elected. He's not there through some sort of birth right the people spoke and said yes Trump we want you we want you to deport illegals we want you to get parts of the government.

Saying he shouldn't be president is saying **** the majority that voted for him.

January 6th was an attempt to prevent Biden from being lawfully elected president.

No Kings was a protest against Trump trying to become king.

I get that your word game is to pretend there are no protests, only riots. It’s just too far detached from reality for anyone to take seriously.

There are pictures of the protests. You could go to one and see it in person.

You do know there were 120,000 protests at the capital in January 6. Do you call that a protest
It’s just too far detached from reality for anyone to take seriously.
You're way too devoted to your double standard due any one to care what you take seriously

DeSantis is floating the idea of running us over in cars.

Us getting hit by cars is a real thing that has happened multiple times, it’s not hypothetical unlike DeSantis’ scenario.

Defending DeSantis’ statement is supporting the planting of a seed that it’s okay to hit lib protesters with your car.

There's no point in trying to explain this to you again you can read the law and see what it says for yourself. Are you can remain ignorant and given to this nonsense.

Well in the instances that are permitted by the play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Right lying about it and saying that it's about just slaughtering protesters is planting a seed. You planted it you could read the law you could hear your own ignorance but you choose not to so wallow in it.

For what it's worth I hope you don't get hit by a car that the protest or ever.
 
Some people can cope mentally with situations like these.

Others snap and use odd justifications for their mental instability.

We’re talking about people who riot. Not sure why it’s so confusing for you, but your desperate gaslighting posts aside, nobody has claimed that peaceful protests and riots are the same thing.

Extreme desperation on your part to be making dishonest posts like this. I’ve got news for you—nobody falls for this schtick of yours anymore.

Some people revel in their ignorance. They don’t want to be read the law because it would prove them wrong.

It is like SYG. Deep down, they want to be ignorant of the actual law because they would use a vehicle to mow over protestors they disagree with.
