Ron DeSantis says Floridians have right to hit protesters with cars
"That's their fault for impinging on you," Florida's governor said.

DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "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."
DeSantis' comments come ahead of the "No Kings" protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.
It always amazes me how much republicans hate the constitution.
They like the idea of the constitution, just like they like the idea of the Bible: an unquestionable authority with no real rules on its interpretation.
I’m not even sure they like the idea of the constitution. They want orders from on high, and that is absolutely not what the idea of the constitution is. The constitution, as originally written even, is everything about America that republicans currently hate. They want one man to wield practically unlimited power.
These people are insane.
They have a right to drive into a brick thrown by protesters as well then.
Or fire a gun at the driver!
The Nazi says Nazi shit? I'm shocked
This is the same guy who had a Nazi symbol in one of his political ads made by some people hired directly from 4chan.
It's kinda already true with bikers. I've been hit 4 times while commuting by bike and they never were ticketed. Each one was pulling out of a driveway without looking
If you want to get away with murder, use a car.
That decree is an act of protest, as such, Desatan? Meet hood ornament!
Just wait for him to casually cross the street then BAM. Get out afterwards and plant an ANTIFA sign on him, all legal.
Cross the street? On foot, like a poor?
It's Florida. The only pedestrians there have no other options.
