      I don’t understand how these MAGA Morons can’t figure out that these laws they want are two-edged swords. If they can use it against normal people, then normal people can use it against them, too.

        That’s because you still think the system will act fairly, it won’t. If you hit someone the administration likes, you’re in trouble, if you someone they don’t like, you’re a hero. There’s never been any intentions of fairness from the republicans, rules for thee not for me.

        Maga has gotten the green light that rules don’t apply to them especially after j6 pardons. If someone runs over a maga idiot you can guarantee courts will throw the book at the driver. Rules for the and not for me.

    “Have Right to Hit [liberal, democratic, equality-seeking, anti-fascist] Protesters With Cars [but not pro-fascist, talibangelical, NAZI demonstrators]”

    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 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?

        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.

      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. And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.

      it’s a completely pointless law. You were already allowed to defend yourself if attacked by a mob (but not if you drive into the mob and then they start attacking you)
      so yeah, if you go to a planned parenthood protest, and they all surround your car, threatening you and attacking your car, you can drive away.

    A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.

      He didn’t “authorize” anything. That’s not how laws or public policies are created. He’s just bloviating like all MAGA Nazis. If it actually happened, the person would be prosecuted based on the law, and their defense of “The governor said it was okay!” would not be accepted by the judge.
