    “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

      And we’re still seeing the chemtrails, not every day but still being sprayed over like roaches.

      To clarify, are you saying you believe that long-lasting condensation trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually “chemtrails” consisting of chemical or biological agents, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public?

    In a stand your ground state?

    Haha, ok. Good luck, Attorney General James Uthmeier.

    If an armed protestor shoots a driver who is driving at them with intent to cause bodily harm, they… Both have the right to possibly kill one another?

    Driver has the green light. Gunman has the green light.

    Cool, cool. Makes sense.

        There is nothing the far-right would love more than to bring the Fallujah strategy to Tampa Bay. You are absolutely off your rocker if you think the modern American political leadership is not chomping at the bit to drop a MOAB on the Woke Mob.

        The first armed protest on a freeway will be smeared across the pavement, while FOX News anchors cheer and drink champagne in between cuts to Donald Trump on the deck of an aircraft carrier under a big banner that says “Mission Accomplished”.

      Skin color, last name and political affiliation will determine who’s the victim and who’s the assailant

        And how is that working out? So far the right has shown that they are willing to keep escalating. You can bring a gun to a protest and not shoot anyone. I’ve seen it happen. The rightwingers always back down when liberals show up with guns.

        The drag queen story hour stuff in texas where the antifascists showed up armed did fine. It probably was more peaceful than most.

        Edit: it is important to note texas is an open carry state.

      I think you are forgetting the right of killing and injuring.

    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.

      Problem is they will disappear, jail, or kill any genuine organizers and infiltrate / sabotage any organization that actually gets to a place of effectively mobilizing a strategy like this.

      Don’t get me wrong, I think something like this would help level the playing field and benefit the protesters tremendously but the FBI and DOJ won’t let it happen. Look at the people that tried organizing the Ferguson protests after the death of Eric garner, Freddy grey, Tamir rice, back in 2012-2015 they’re all dead or in jail.

      People need to protect and organize themselves. Thats what the black panthers did and that’s precisely why they were so effective. They built up from their preexisting communities.

        Problem is they are already doing this regardless of if your an organizer or not. If the regime decides you’re a target, then you’re fucked. So might as well start organizing to defend against those who actively wish to do you and yours harm.

        and infiltrate / sabotage any organization that actually gets to a place of effectively mobilizing a strategy like this

        This is why organizations need to practice good OpSec in order to prevent infiltration.

        People need to protect and organize themselves. Thats what the black panthers did and that’s precisely why they were so effective. They built up from their preexisting communities.

        Yea, and part of what the Black Panthers did in their organizing was to provide armed security for protests, among a plethora of other mutual aid programs.

        Those problems have existed for every single revolutionary effort to exist across history. That didn’t stop them and it shouldn’t stop us either.

    “Have Right to Hit [liberal, democratic, equality-seeking, anti-fascist] Protesters With Cars [but not pro-fascist, talibangelical, NAZI demonstrators]”

    The subtext is important.
