Why do we need another law for this? Aren’t riots already illegal?
Because he's a politician seeking higher office, throwing out red meat to supporters to get them fired up.
Watch for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to push an anti-riot bill next week, modeled on Florida's law. It's not too late.

Making it harder for local government to strip funding from law enforcement.
Specifically, the rule is that if a city defends the police outside of normal budget cuts, they lose all state funding. This is awesome.

Increasing penalties on rioters. Since other states appear to have no penalties, this is significant.
Automatic 6 month jail sentence for in state rioters. Automatic year jail sentence for out of state rioters.
Another part of this bill is that it is now possible to sue cities if you are injured or have property damaged in riots. This basically makes sure that we don't have shite like what happened in Minneapolis where their POS mayor made the police and national guard stand down and let the riots happen.

If protesters are blocking the road, you can drive through them with civil legal immunty.
This is easily my favorite part of this bill. Watching rioters surround innocent people's cars and giving them no path to escape was infuriating. Now they can be treated like speedbumps.

This isn't just "red meat." This is a shot across the bow. It has far more teeth than you give it credit for, but I will concede it is also largely pandering.
And I dig it. The RINO contenders wouldn't even do this, even if they were purely pandering.

God, I hope so.
I hope many more states follow this lead.

I think this one needs a little more work "civil legal immunity" this does not say criminal legal immunity.
The way I understand it is that you cannot be sued by the "speedbump" but you could still face vehicular assault or something.
