Joe, thanks for finding the link to this article about the Fla governor wanting to expand self-defense rights.
“Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed an “anti-mob” bill that would allow residents to shoot rioters and looters who target businesses following nationwide unrest.
The law would expand the state’s self-defense law, which currently forbids “the use of force in defense of property,” by increasing what constitutes a “forcible felony,” according to the Miami Herald. DeSantis seeks to make looting or “interruption or impairment” of a business such a felony, thereby justifying deadly force to prevent it, the local outlet reported.
I see nothing wrong with this plan. I think if we had done it when the first rioter/looters started up, we would be ahead by millions of dollars and light a few hundred people we deserve to live without. A win-win in my book.
Protesting is one thing, looting, inciting violence, and committing acts of deadly arson are another. These kinds of life-threatening, anarchy situations require the use of force up to and including deadly force.
Democrats have created the atmosphere for this. They are a lawless bunch…anarchy is AOK!
When the leadership refuses to condemn violence, destruction of property and even murder done in the name of their causes they should expect more radical pushback. The people should not have to shut up and take this lawless crap. Well done Governor!!
Works for me.
