The GQP got close to overturning the election in a couple states. I suspect they aren't dissuaded by messing with criminal prosecutions of those who do good deeds like running over antifa marxist muslim terrorists.

Yes, but like I said, it's most likely local prosecutors in major cities - probably democrats - who will make those decisions.

It's happening in a lot more states. Anybody that has been paying attention already knew the GQP was well into it's fascist stage, but to those on the fence, this should be more than apparent by now


These people are exactly what has destroyed many societies in the last century and change - Stalinists, Maoists, Nazis, Brownshirts - these types of people are all the same type that make up todays GQP.

I suppose our laws will protect them as it did the Nazis in Germany and we will have to wait for millions of people to be run over in the streets before enough American Republican Nazis are killed in return to cause them to lose power.

but then again...
It's Florida.


Ron DeSantis Gives Civil Immunity For Running Over Protesters In Florida

A new bill passed by the Florida Senate and proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis will give people civil immunity for running over protesters.

The Orlando Sentinel reported, “The parts of the bill (HB 1 ) that most upset Democrats grant civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road; prevent people arrested for rioting or offenses committed during a riot from bailing out of jail until their first court appearance, and impose a six-month mandatory sentence for battery on a police officer during a riot.”

People could still be criminally charged for taking their car and mowing down protesters who are using their First Amendment rights, but in Florida, the driver will not be able to be sued for civil damages. Florida Republicans claim that they are preventing violence by denying protesters bail and allowing them to be run down, but almost every protest in the country is peaceful. The few that make it onto television are the ones that feature violence.

The bill is an attack on the First Amendment by a governor who has 2024 presidential ambitions and is willing to encourage having protesters hit with cars if it gives him a boost in the Republican presidential primary field. It is hard to imagine this law making it through the court system without being overturned. Civil immunity for running down protesters takes the Republican attack on the First Amendment to a new level of deadly.
Nice clickbait title. Civil immunity != criminal immunity.

Really? How so? Elaborate! That is assuming you can take the orange tiny mushroom pecker outta your mouth long enough to do so...
Nice one. How many of your 20 posts actually contain something factual and not a homophobic joke?

Since Maxine Waters continually calls for confrontations, people need to have some leeway in avoiding the "mostly peaceful" protesters without getting sued by the BLM charlatans.

Please provide data showing that this is an issue in America. How many people die per year due to lack of hospital access resulting from protests blocking roadways. Or is this another one of those political strawmen conservatives like to slay.

Its also interesting that in a single post you try to pretend that your concern stems from a desire to protect lives while simultaneously exhibiting a complete disregard for life. Does it give you whiplash having that level of discord?

Since Maxine Waters continues to push confrontations in the streets, that number will rise? How many times do the "mostly peaceful" protesters need to block traffic before it's not ok? Since your time is waaaayyy more valuable than anyone else's, I guess it doesn't matter.

If Florida and Texas would secede and take the rest of the deep south with them, life would be so much better for the rest of America.
Then where would the Liberal dbags run to in order to escape the mess created in Cali and NY?

Like DeSatan wouldn't give some redneck a pass for killing a protester. When charges are dropped, sometime the only justice lies in bankrupting their asses.

I see you finally got your talking points. This was pointed out by a baby-eating progresshevik when this thread was first posted. We didn't need a puppet on TV to tell us. If you don't think you are being manipulated by being fed talking points you don't comprehend, maybe you can explain why someone would need civil protection for this.

So you are confirming that saying people will die because they can't make it to a hospital is pure bullshit. Glad we got that out of the way.

Most protesters I see on the streets are butthurt Trumpers with their stupid flags.

Do you get to plow through a dumb maga parade bumbling through town?

What if it's a boat?

Asking for purely academic reasons.

Totally unrelated, I am shopping for a family hauler.
Does a war rig get good milage? How's the a/c?

Good. Fucking.Riddance.

This bill was pretty much spot on of exactly what is needed.

Want to protest? GREAT! Get a permit like everyone else and march it up.



Want to block interstate highways? You deserve to be roadkill. For anyone who disagrees, wait until you or your spouse are the ones that are dying on the way to the hospital.
You mean like when all those Bundy fuckers blocked the interstate for DAYS to aim their metal penises at federal officers?

Also why do I need a permit to use the first amendment, but not the second?

Hey, flogging and riding the public's indignation concerning protestors worked for Ronald Reagan, got him from the CA governorship and two terms in the White House. Maybe it will work for Ron turd-in-da-mouth Desantis.

People are fascists. I agree sometimes protestors do dumb shit, it should be up to well-trained and reasonable police officers to be called in to do their duty, not give citizens free reign to kill or maim people for what ultimately is a low-level crime. But the GQP is gonna fascist because that is what they are. Horrific, irredeemable deplorables. Every nation in modern history that has gone down a dark path, from fascism in europe to stalinism in russia and maoism in China, all needed large swaths of easily corruptible deplorables. This is our GQP.
OK, never saw this explained, so rummaged around searching the web... GQP evidently stands for "grand Q-Anon party."

When American Cubans, Colombians, and Venezuelans start seeing the large number of protesters being over ridden by police cars with smiling cops on news channels, then they might start questioning Trump's claim that Democrats are socialists trying to turn the US into USSR (United States Socialist Republic). They will think, was the person they voted for really saying the truth, or is it the Republicans who are really acting like real socialists?

MAGA boy Florida Man arrested and accused of "deliberately making skid marks across a mural meant to commemorate the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting, in his Chevrolet Silverado." It was apparently some sort of gay bashing thing. Anyway, ironically he may be the first to be prosecuted under DeSantis' anti-protest bill. Which is interesting.


But this is the part which gives me the creeps:

Just prior to the incident, Jerich was allegedly participating in a pro-Trump rally in celebration of the former president's birthday that was put together by the Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee.

I mean, who actually celebrates the birthday of a US politician other than the FF and Lincoln? Who even knows Obama's birthday without looking it up?

Well, there's one famous politician whose cult of personality was so effective that his followers celebrate his birthday even now, 75 years after his death. No need for further elaboration.

Can you imagine thinking that Trump is such a great man that the day of his birth is cause for celebration by people who do not personally know him? Will they still be celebrating this day 75 years from now? These people need mass therapy, maybe a mass lobotomy.
