Those 'fleeing for safety from a mob' could be legally allowed to drive over and seriously injure or kill protesters under a new law Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposed Monday.
The law would also introduce a third-degree felony for those who participate in a"violent or disorderly assembly" protest while causing property damage or injury to others. Protesters who try to"destroy or topple a monument" could be charged with a second-degree felony. RICO racketeering liability would be added for"anyone who organizes or funds a violent or disorderly assembly.
Striking or throwing an object at a law enforcement officer during a violent or disorderly protest would be subject to a 6-month mandatory minimum jail sentence. In addition, the law would prohibit local governments from attempting to"defund the police," with any area that"slashes the budget" of police being cut off from state funds.
Today I announced bold legislation that creates new criminal offenses and increases penalties for those who target law enforcement and participate in violent or disorderly assemblies. We will always stand with our men and women in uniform who keep our communities safe.
