    Fact check: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said drivers in his state are allowed to hit protesters if they feel as though their life is being threatened. So technically true. But still not great

      Using the “Kyle Rittenhouse” excuse!

      “I was so fearful, that I drove from my house in IL to another state with a rifle and shot people because, “I feared for my life! Not like it was murder or anything!”

      So now all MAGOTS are free range, hit em if you see them and feel threatened!! So in FL you can run someone over via the governor! So fucking dumb! I can’t even try to understand what is truly going on in America because no one can other than all the oligarchs and billionaires running the country/world!!

      Which means the same as their ridiculous stand your ground law: right wing traitor lunatics will get away with actual crimes, and normal decent folks will get busted.

        Which begs the question I’ve been asking for some time now: If someone tries to run someone over, and they respond by (non-fatally) shooting the driver, who gets arrested? (Assume both are white republicans).

          To make matters more complicated the driver is homeless and living in their motorhome, so were they also attacked in their own home?

            Florida has Castle Doctrine AND Stand Your Ground. Anybody comes into your home or vehicle, give them an overdose of lead.

        I’ve seen videos of random people just surrounded after a football match or some other shit and they start just fuvking with the car and jump on the bonnet and try to open doors. I would 100% just floor it and good luck guys. But i don’t think that’s what he means.
