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.

Can I get it in the form of an unregulated memecoin?
Best I can do is bath salts
God damn, I managed to eat an onion on a /c/nottheonion comment… I rushed over the article to find where that quote was from, only to feel dumber and dumber as it dawned on me that it is, in fact, way past bedtime.
He may not have said it, but I guarantee he’s thinking it
What’s the exchange rate to Stanley Nickles?
Cool, so all we need now is a list of Proud Boy demonstrations in FL.
No not those protests
Put in the work and publish it. The left is full up on “idea men.”
So we have the right to hit you with our car Ron?
I hope he says no, thus protesting your request…
Don’t try to be rational with ghouls.
In that case, I guess it’s ok to splatter the folks protesting in front of planned parenthood?
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!!
Which is the case pretty much anywhere, you have the right to escape.
I’ve seen videos of random people just surrounded after a football match or some other shit and they start just fuvking with the car and jump on the bonnet and try to open doors. I would 100% just floor it and good luck guys. But i don’t think that’s what he means.
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 will disappear, jail, or kill any genuine organizers
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.

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.
Or an organization keeping our streets free of killibg machines
They’re_the_same_picture.png
Difference of scale.
A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.
He’s authorizing terrorism against free speech as a loophole for getting around the first amendment
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.
This belongs in something like c/evilpeople more than nottheonion
Eh I’d be fine with a crosspost
It’s beyond satire that any politician thinks this is OK to say in any fucking context and little Rhonda should be in jail for it, prosecuted as an accomplice when someone actually goes out and does it
Free speech is where people legally violently kill or injure you for speaking
I think you are forgetting the right of killing and injuring.
Land of freedom!

Weird. The more I look at DeSantis the more he looks like a protestor. Just me?
“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.
Is Rhonda the new q-tip Florida Karen?
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.
