Driving into protesters is essentially legal in Florida per the Riot Bill if I recall. They made caveats to it like they have to be obstructing the road, as if that makes it much better. https://flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/1/?Tab=BillHistory
He drove up on the sidewalk.
Were they obstructing the sidewalk? I could see Florida Lawyer making a case from that.
what is a sidewalk but a road for filthy poors and peasants to do their un-christian walking on?
They probably had a permit from the police so the answer is most likely no. Can't really argue that they're "obstructing" the sidewalk when you gave them permission to be there. That would hold up on Fox News but not in a courtroom.
To traffic? A normal pedestrian is "obstructing" the sidewalk to a car. Vehicles have no right of way there!
No, not to vehicles, to pedestrians. The IRONIC point being made was, even that would be sufficient.
