I read that as Protestants and wondered how long Desantis had been a Fenian

imagine hitting someone in the car, then the police arrive but dismiss you when they find out the person you hit is a Protestant
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.
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.
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
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.
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...

And people wonder why South Park stopped making episodes. The world of South Park is normal compared to this.
“Have Right to Hit [liberal, democratic, equality-seeking, anti-fascist] Protesters With Cars [but not pro-fascist, talibangelical, NAZI demonstrators]”
The subtext is important.
Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?
idiocracy is here. told ya'll it'll come. i am so looking forward for a wrestler to be president after kaiser trump. it will be magical.
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.

In that case, I guess it's ok to splatter the folks protesting in front of planned parenthood?

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.

Just an FYI if you don’t smoke weed. But an AR15 and just be prepared. But if youndo smoke weed. But it anyways but don’t admit you smoke weed. Ever.
what the fuck does this mean?
Since marijuana, or more specifically cannabis-derived THC, is still illegal federally and you mark yes when filling out the federal firearms paperwork you will not be allowed to buy a firearm.
However, if you select No, but do use cannabis-derived THC, and admit to or it or law enforcement finds out then you've committed a felony. It's the same law they applied to Hunter Biden's case.
Why they felt the need to comment on that specifically in this thread? No idea either.
Note: I'm not aware of any cases yet that are for hemp-derived THC products that meet the legality under the 2018 Farm Bill. Thats kind of a gray area currently, so you're taking your chances.
I think he's saying that you can buy a semiautomatic rifle if you don't use the Marijuana, but if you do use the Marijuana, don't tell anyone. Maybe they used the Marijuana before posting.
I’m dyslexic as F. So my writing is always wonky.
