That ICE agent looks a lot like a protestor.
Protesting immigrants seems to be their thing
I thought it was the protestors wearing masks! Honest!
Lookout, Jimbo! He’s comin’ right for us!
Awesome, so if you see those maga people at crosswalks or outside of planned parenthood, go ahead and run them down
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.
That works great as long as Right-wingers stay in power. They have this overwhelming arrogance that tells them they will NEVER leave office, but then they always manage to be so terrible at governing that they eventually get kicked out. Then all those oppressive laws can be used against them, if Dems could muster up any sense of courage.
Right, when the Democrats are in power they’re afraid of Republicans, when the Republicans are in power they’re afraid of nothing
This is the number one flaw with the “rule of law” and State authority structure. The enforcement of the law always comes down to how the ruling body of authority, the State and its representatives, interpret the laws. It is why they are intentionally written to be vague, to allow a court wiggle room in how to apply the letter of a law to a unique situation, and many in fact contradict each other if argued a certain way.
If the system becomes corrupted, which it often is due to how top-down power attracts people who seek control over others, those vagaries can be used as weapons against those who oppose their power and to systematically exploit marginalized people.
Issue is, they don’t want equal laws for all. They want a hierarchical system, where people upper the ladder have more rights and more protections, because “it worked well for the kings”. If they want to conform to this rule of reactionary movements, they will likely make it so, that they’ll specify “illegal protests” somewhere…
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.
only if they attack you.
He said if they need to flee for their safety which maga snowflakes see a black person and will assume they’re being attacked and need to flee for safety.
What if we hit him with a car?
He becomes Greg Abbott.
Greg Abbot was hit by a tree struck by a lightning bolt from god. If you run over DeSantis you’re just doing the lord’s work.
Amen.
That’s called attempted murder.
Not in the language that these fascists are talking.
“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 females, and 50 points for children. Points can be redeemed for ‘DesantisBucks’ once you reach 500 points or more.”
EDIT: a word
DeSantisCoin, a new crypto backed by the leader of Florida Man
Frankenstein approves
Deep cut
The whole “hitting pedestrians is worth points” trope originated from Death Race 2000, I think. Still, yeah! Weird old movie.
Can I get it in the form of an unregulated memecoin?
Best I can do is bath salts
God damn, I managed to eat an onion on a /c/nottheonion comment… I rushed over the article to find where that quote was from, only to feel dumber and dumber as it dawned on me that it is, in fact, way past bedtime.
He may not have said it, but I guarantee he’s thinking it
What’s the exchange rate to Stanley Nickles?
I’m all for hating desantis, but context is important:
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.
the regime runs on credulous simps like you
Dude, if a mob of people are attacking my car, I’m not just going to sit there twiddling my thumbs. You feel free to, though.
i don’t imagine myself on that side of the line you pussy 🤣
You don’t have to be a cunt to make a point, especially if it’s a stupid point.
During protests like five years ago, I saw a group of peeps rip someone out of their semi and beat the shit out of them.
I’m on the side of the protestors because what’s happening to the US is obviously fucked, but if I’m ever surrounded by people and have no egress, I’m going to egress by any means necessary, I fully agree with you.
Honest question, what would you do if you were surrounded by people threatening you?
This is the type of Pearl-clutching/fear mongering that lives in a head filled with propaganda. There are already laws in place which cover this type of fake scenario, the article itself dismisses the claims you’re trying to make. Find me a valid use-case for this law, there are hundreds of instances where the exact opposite happens and vehicles are used as a weapon to assault protesters but all you got are fictional “what ifs”? Don’t drive into a protest… Use common sense when you see a group of people gathered on the street like any sane person would.

love how you crumple from any push-back on your false narrative.

Free speech is where people legally violently kill or injure you for speaking
I think you are forgetting the right of killing and injuring.
Land of freedom!
/s (if not obvious)
Bear this in mind next time something like a unite the right or Jan 6 happens.
The jan 6 riotors are part of ICE right now
This is just one more reason why there needs to be an organization participating in protest spaces specifically to provide armed security, same as Black Panthers provided security for civil rights protests.
People won’t be so willing to drive into a crowd of protesters if the bloc has an armed perimeter.
Or an organization keeping our streets free of killibg machines
They’re_the_same_picture.png
Difference of scale.
Problem is they will disappear, jail, or kill any genuine organizers and infiltrate / sabotage any organization that actually gets to a place of effectively mobilizing a strategy like this.
Don’t get me wrong, I think something like this would help level the playing field and benefit the protesters tremendously but the FBI and DOJ won’t let it happen. Look at the people that tried organizing the Ferguson protests after the death of Eric garner, Freddy grey, Tamir rice, back in 2012-2015 they’re all dead or in jail.
People need to protect and organize themselves. Thats what the black panthers did and that’s precisely why they were so effective. They built up from their preexisting communities.
Problem is they will disappear, jail, or kill any genuine organizers
Problem is they are already doing this regardless of if your an organizer or not. If the regime decides you’re a target, then you’re fucked. So might as well start organizing to defend against those who actively wish to do you and yours harm.
and infiltrate / sabotage any organization that actually gets to a place of effectively mobilizing a strategy like this
This is why organizations need to practice good OpSec in order to prevent infiltration.

Yea, and part of what the Black Panthers did in their organizing was to provide armed security for protests, among a plethora of other mutual aid programs.
Those problems have existed for every single revolutionary effort to exist across history. That didn’t stop them and it shouldn’t stop us either.
And people wonder why South Park stopped making episodes. The world of South Park is normal compared to this.
So we have the right to hit you with our car Ron?
I hope he says no, thus protesting your request…
Don’t try to be rational with ghouls.
Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to “flee for your safety.”
are you fleeing for your safety surrounded by ron de santises?
I think Ron DeSantis getting hit by a car would be for everyone’s safety.
ron isnt a human, closest is ahumanoid alien, he will just ressurect in a new clone body.
The duty, I’d say.

“Law and order”
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.
Is Rhonda the new q-tip Florida Karen?
Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.
No not those protests
Put in the work and publish it. The left is full up on “idea men.”
