Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to "flee for your safety."

quote:

DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday, when he said: "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.

"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you. You don't have to just sit there and be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets."

and if you continue to feel threatened after you run over protestors, back over them and run over them again

Unfortunately, if you do this in a blue city in any state they will charge you just to bankrupt you.

I think this is sad that it has to even be said. I'm glad he said it, but still- very sad.

When you as a law abiding citizen needs permission from the government to flee, not fight - flee, for your safety you are not a citizen but a subject.

This is not a knock on DeSantis... it is a knock on "the law". If you feel the government is going to probably punish you for fleeing a life threatening situation (while not committing a crime yourself) "the law" that is supposed to protect you is now a weapon of subjugation.

This would be the perfect opportunity for those Dodge Charger-drivers wanting to do donuts in the middle of a busy roadway and get away with it.

Anyone know the official South Carolina position on running over violent protesters, only as a last course of action of course?
