    Was on the books in Kali don't know if it still is. They'd try you for murder even if the law allowed it. Laws aren't what mean but what the left says they mean.

    Sad but true and for God's sake don't wear a pink polo shirt if you do shoot someone or even brandish a weapon

    DeSantis also wants to make it a third-degree felony to block traffic during a protest — and offer immunity to drivers who accidentally kill or injure protesters who do so, according to the Herald.

    Numerous other sections enhance criminal penalties for people involved in “violent or disorderly assemblies,” and withholds state funds from local governments that cut law enforcement funding, the report said.

    DeSantis has long threatened to introduce the “strongest pro-law enforcement, anti-rioting, anti-looting legislation anywhere in the country” — even though the Sunshine State has not been a hub of violent protests.


    Uhhhh......maybe a link between tuff laws and a lack of violent looters?

    Not generally a fan of adding more laws, usually there stuff on books already that’s just not enforced.

    However, the road one doesn’t go far enough. Make it a capital offense.

    Ron’s a fucking stud. Heard him on a pod last week talking about Covid. He actually has done the math and looks at data unlike Jay and others. He would fit in well here.

    You could also shoot fleeing felons in Kali that's probably on the books but the courts will burn you down if they are not tremendously dangerous.

    A citizen should be able to defend their property from invasion, theft and arson. All felonies. Shooting people curtails riots instantly if not sooner!

    Bird and buckshot skipped off the pavement into the legs of rioters is also a very good deterrent.

    Naaaah, no connection. Just like there is no connection between California legalizing property theft and shoplifting and the explosion in both of those crimes in the state.
