Not sure if there was a thread on this yet.

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne-desantis-signs-anti-riot-bill-20210419-iltp27x5mzcbheeqvyhclhz2xq-story.html

The law, which goes into effect immediately, grants civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road, which Democrats argued might have protected the white nationalist who ran over and killed counter-protester Heather Heyer during the Charlottesville tumult in 2017. It also makes blocking a highway a felony offense.

I think its stupid when protesters block the road (since half the time random people that have nothing to do with your protest get screwed over), but wtf is this law? What could possibly go wrong with allowing people to be granted civil immunity for just plowing through crowds of people you dont agree with??!?

The courts should be able to impose a fine for laws like this where any reasonable person knows it'd be unconstitutional, and not a small one, it should be in percentage of wealth.

It would be hilariously sad if supporting vehicular homicide is not moderated while overzealous capitol punishment is.

I'd say the lawmakers that voted for it and the governor that didn't veto it should get fined. Give it back to the state or federal government.

It's weird that people so obsessed with the idea of government oppression are limiting the tools to protest oppression. It almost seems like it's more about control and preserving the current order than anything else....

It's because they aren't the ones under the boot. So long as they can be the boot, or at least get to lick it, they don't care.

I'd specifically target the lawmakers that introduced the bill. Money would go directly to the district that was made to waste money on the bill.

Would the courts strike it down? I mean the texas supreme court allowed some real stupid shit what with the dropbox thing for the previous election. Wouldnt be surprised if Florida's is the same.

If only Florida had such a law during the Rosewood massacre. They wouldn't have had to sustain a decades long coverup.
