    “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 remains, and 50 points for children. Points can be redeemed for ‘DesantisBucks’ once you reach 500 points or more.”

      Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to “flee for your safety.”

    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.

        There is nothing the far-right would love more than to bring the Fallujah strategy to Tampa Bay. You are absolutely off your rocker if you think the modern American political leadership is not chomping at the bit to drop a MOAB on the Woke Mob.

        The first armed protest on a freeway will be smeared across the pavement, while FOX News anchors cheer and drink champagne in between cuts to Donald Trump on the deck of an aircraft carrier under a big banner that says “Mission Accomplished”.

      Realistically it’s a “Stand Your Ground” situation for the protestor if they are threatened with deadly force from a car attack, so the protestors can legally shoot drivers who are attempting to run them over. So if Rhonda wants to escalate that’s what they are asking for, GTA street wars basically.
