That ICE agent looks a lot like a protestor.
Protesting immigrants seems to be their thing
"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
Frankenstein approves
Deep cut
The whole "hitting pedestrians is worth points" trope originated from Death Race 2000, I think. Still, yeah! Weird old movie.

Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.
No not those protests
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
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.
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!!
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.
He's authorizing terrorism against free speech as a loophole for getting around the first amendment
Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?
Free speech is where people legally violently kill or injure you for speaking
So we have the right to hit you with our car Ron?
I hope he says no, thus protesting your request...
And people wonder why South Park stopped making episodes. The world of South Park is normal compared to this.
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.
I read that as Protestants and wondered how long Desantis had been a Fenian
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.
“Have Right to Hit [liberal, democratic, equality-seeking, anti-fascist] Protesters With Cars [but not pro-fascist, talibangelical, NAZI demonstrators]”
The subtext is important.
Bear this in mind next time something like a unite the right or Jan 6 happens.
At this point Republicans are just being idiots. They say whatever 1940s idiot shit pops into their head.
Saying this in the 40s in america would get you hanged with an engine as counterweight.

That means I have the right to put 9 rounds into the drivers seat before that happens.
I’m firing my gun at the driver in defense if they’re trying to hit me with their car
"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.
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.
