Florida Gov. DeSantis proposes sweeping legislation that threatens felonies and increased jail time for people who attend protests that turn violent or disorderly

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released a sweeping set of proposals on Monday that would dramatically crack down on people who attend protests that turn violent or disorderly by threatening them with a mix of felonies and increased jail time.

The proposals, which DeSantis, a Republican, called the"boldest and most comprehensive" piece of legislation on the issues of civil disobedience and protest in the US, were aimed squarely at"those who target law enforcement and participate in violent or disorderly assemblies," he said in a tweet.

Then he should be arrested for putting all Floridians at risk!

A big friend and supporter from Trump who can made not his own decisions without the blessing from Trump.

Absolutely unconstitutional, why waste time with this kind of illegal legislation? Because it's all just a show to these con men. Look at the shiny object while I steal your wallet.

I believe that if you commit a crime at a protest then it’s understandable that you’ll be arrested. It’s messed up because real peaceful protesters have a real cause and are requesting to be heard.

bye bye Desantis - can we say prison time for you ? stopping felons from paying fines and voting & making ballots disappear in florida and for letting people die from covid, you will be next on trumps list to throw you under the bus get some balls

Jim Crow has returned to Florida

mdczimbabwe, PacheduZW et al take note. Zvinosungisa zvima protests zvenyu

What an ass. In a state that has had more peaceful protests than any other. Limited and quickly ended violence, this guy decides to stir the pot and goad people into action. Isn't this one of those 'If it ain't broke' moments?

You are not a protesters ; you are paid criminals .

Thanks governor DeSantis; we need that; security cities.

AliasCovfefe He's doing a great job. Floridians agree. Hey CNN why don't you investigate Hunter Biden and all his deep corruption ties to Communist China and Communist Russia

Person. DeSantis. Outof. His. League.

So that would be violence inciting Trump rallies too

Protesters huh? You mean looters and arsonists.

Way to go even tho it won't work

God bless you, Sir!

Police are essential to the safety of America. No one should abuse power on either side. I have no desire to live in a world where there aren’t police. When an intruder breaks into your home at 2am who will you call? Desantis is a strong leader. Our safety matters.

Have you ever thought Maybe I should eat that 2nd big Mac maybe I should qwerty and cupcakes Soon you will look just like your daddy and be and never little baby trump

ARE YOU TRUMPS STEPSON, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Protest to your hearts content but don't break my stuff. Not hard to understand.

I say good. On nov 3 when dems win. Let all the Magats get arrested or shot. Cause they will be rioting with weapons

Reported that in 2017 Trump had Paul Manafort travel to Cuba to meet with Castro son to strike deal for property for the Trump Empire. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Story on Yahoo.

Did we know this?

Just like mainstream media here, comply with censorship

ENTIRE Epstein Flight Log To be RELEASED, Ultra Rich People Panicking As They Will be EXPOSED NOW you know why so many rich and famous people dislike Trump

You cannot impart criminal intent onto people that are otherwise legally exercising their constitutional rights.

What a efing idiot. It would be struck down as unconstitutional

I can’t believe what is obvious about the protest & those outside agitators that have caused the distress for attempting to express their 1st Amendment right under the CONSTITUTION!

There are already laws for that. Use them.

In other words a bunch of peaceful protesters (not rioters) could face jail time, if their protest are infiltrated by a bunch of FalseFlag actors creating problems. Interesting Chess move. smh

Outright MURDER in the 1st Degree!

Thank you gov. So glad I live in the great state of Florida

He sounds just like a dictator.

That is unconstitutional because it intimidates and hinders people from gathering and petitioning the government making them responsible for others who may not act accordingly such as infiltrators!

Florida Latina Holds NOTHING Back on ‘Socialist Joe’

Because the Bill of Rights does not apply to anyone but good ole Republicans!

Benjamin Franklin says: It is better to do something good than to say something good, Democrats can say something good sometimes, but President Donald Trump always says and does good things

This is his priority--- !!! NOT WORRIED ABOUT OR DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DYING BECAUSE OF HIS ASININE DECISIONS !!!!! In August he started Sacrificing the FLA school attendance ! He's ADDING to the Deaths of trump's Pathetic Lies ----

Gotta get that vote count down

I hope they keep the same message on November 4th when the Biden is elected.

FINALLY!!

This, from trump's puppet, coincidentally after his trip to Jacksonville We know who this will affect the most!!

Because everyone knows that one person out of a thousand controls the actions of all the others.

Another self proclaimed genius, so if 100 protest and just one throws a rock or bottle, ALL 100 are responsible ? How’s that get found in the bowels of the Constitution ? Was this guy a public defender before or something ?

Awesome!! Good for him! More need to be like that!

POC stop protesting. Yes I’m black & I meant what I typed. It means absolutely nothing 2 the majority. Killing of us? nothing. Dying 2 COVID? Nothing. Go 2 school, work, put down weapons, VOTE. They describe us as animals. PROVE THEM WRONG

Here comes the Nazis

As long as it applies to his klan too

So if the cops are at protest and that protest tunrs violent. The police are in trouble too.

This means nothing. Cause Trump protest everyday and there is some type of damage associated with his protest.

It aggravates them enough just if you stand in the street. You don't have to property damage anything. Watch, they will make a law about standing in the street. Republicans are clueless and this country will be on fire November 4th.

Lock up the Looters

FLORIDA’S FIDEL!!!!

Republicans = law & order All republicans should follow

Will not wearing a mask be defined as disorderly conduct? Probably depends on your golf club membership.

Works for me.

Governor DeathSentence is positioning himself to run for president as a Trump style candidate full of hate and bigotry.

Proud of my governor GovRonDeSantis ! It’s about time someone stands up to stop the destruction and violent riots!

Oh well I guess we all have to be felon's now! He's gone too as soon as he's up for re-election!

Good. Cut that crap out

He is following trump's anarchist jurisdiction order. We actually don't need a governor we could get all our direction straight from trump, cut out the middleman! He certainly can't make a decision without him.

YES!!

Wouldn't expect anything less from him

I don't really like mini trump, but law and order needs prevail. I give this one to mini fatty trumpy...

Doesn’t DeSantis have other issues he should be concentrating on right now like COVID-19?

What special kind of fascist is this guy?

About time!!

I assume he's talking about Trumps rallies?

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Governor DeSantis yes lock them up forever

Remember the years previous to the WWII. History repeats itself. Florida

Democrats want to burn down this country. This is a good move. Protect the USA

Finally

1finekitty It would be a shame if MS-13 attended protests that turned violent or disorderly because the RatPublicKlan traitors and cowards are afraid of them.

1finekitty I wonder if that includes MAGAt Klan Covid45 Fests.

For anyone who attends the protest? So all I have to do if I want to end protests is send fake protestors in and have them start a riot. Good thinking.

This is trump junior

The lovely authoritarians afraid of protests. If protests exist is because your government is failing. Democracy is not something Republicans really respect, much less accountability.

Protest shouldn't be violent. Police should develop rules for counter protestors and violent protestors.

CNN should be responsible as well. Peaceful protesters? How long can you stay lying without consequence?

ABOUT TIME BLACK CRIME MATTERS

Look out now....here comes the totalitarian state.... First rule of a dictatorship...squash the demonstrations of the opposition. Before too much longer, under Donald Trump, its going to seem like we're in Syria and not the United States of America.

Like seriously.....

Just enforce the law see already on the books!!!

Wow, first governor I heard say that. Maybe if all governors upheld the law by simply punishing law breakers, their citizens would be safer and their cities not destroyed.

Trump wont be happy with that.

Puerto rico viviendo en las calles MIENTRAS ELLOS COMO LECHONES los políticos de PUERTO Rico está pasando por un DETERIORO SOCIAL de valores y sentimientos ATENCIÓN FBI CORUCION Y ABUSO DE PODER

The wording of this headline is, as usual, extremely disingenuous. The proposed penalties are for people who commit crimes, not innocent bystanders.

Awesome 👏 news ! I say Ron DeSantis for President in 2024’ !!

Voter suppression.

So if you peacefully attend a protest and troublemakers show up to start shit, that person is guilty...? Tf?! **Summons ACLU

.....and so begins the slide towards facist authoritarianism. Always worrying when politicians neeed to surround themselves with flags and people in military style uniforms.

LOL! What? It's not the protesters fault if a few idiots come there to make trouble. The courts will slam this action as another attempt to limit Freedom of Assembly.

It's about time someone showed some balls!

Awesome!

Do republicans even care that it is obvious what they are doing or are they just really desperate? This is oppressive government finding excuses to stifle freedom of speech which threatens their power. It’s ridiculous, however I'm not laughing because it’s so outrageous!

So much love for the 1st Amendment in Florida

GovRonDeSantis CNNPolitics & more importantly what about unemployment in FL during a pandemic GovRonDeSantis?!?

All American should obeys rule and law during Covid 19 pandemic which is increase around the world now.

Assassination? Calling for President Trump's assassination?! SEDITION!

He gonna arrest Trump?

Fascist trump toady.

They locked us down, killed grandparents, accused a decent man of being a gang rapist on the word of a crooked lawyer, rioted, looted, burned cities, assassinated peace officers, and now they are threatening to do more, if they don’t get their way. Oh, and they want your vote.

Define disorderly Is marching in a goose step fashion ok ? Chanting would that be disorderly ? Carrying a weapon while marching and chanting would that be disorderly ? Do we start a movement to overthrow an authoritarian who is infringing on my rights with any and all means ?

The virus was lab-made and intentionally released. Although it is difficult to develop antidotes or vaccines, Hydroxychloroquine is most useful for prevention.

Gestapo

And to be enforced by the Brownshirts...

Does anyone know what fascism sounds and looks like?

Not one mask, or social distancing. Oh wait, it’s Florida.

Unless they’re white nationalists or the Klan. Those very fine people are exempted

Fascist republicans.

Butt licker

FINALLY - Common sense!!!!

Florida Governor Proposes Law That Could Allow Drivers to Run Over a 'Mob'

You mean people that attend riots... Once a protest has been declared a riot, people remaining are participants and deserve jail time; extended...

I'm sure conservatives will oppose such an expansion of government power, right?

DeSantis should go to jail for his miserable action during the COVID pandemic.

you are pulling the plug of the trill of protest. if the protest is all okay in all ways, who will care to protest?

This guy is a total nut case! We have rights so what are you going to do lock everyone up who disagrees with you? Your as dumb as a box of rocks! Feel back that Florida has this trash in office

DeSantis swinging from trumps huevos

maybe stop being so corrupt and horrible and there wouldnt be protesting at all.

He keeping them blacks in they place!

Quite frankly, I think DeSantis should be whipped through the towns and cities of the state from panhandle to the keys and then forced into the ocean and kept at bay by ferocious dogs or evil manatees...

They left out an Amendment 🐀PUBLICANS shall not be seen as mentally stable people. They shall not decide the future of the USA as their Ancestors brought horror. Satan's people, they need to be sent back to where their Ancestors came from. beingracistisamentalillness

Russia is coming

Wow

Unbeliveable‼️ Are we Nazi Germany❓

You🐀PUBLICANS will go down in history like your Ancestors. The US's most heinous mass murders. You 🐀PUBLICANS will never be able to ask for forgiveness cause God knows your HORRIFIC wicked hearts. Satan's people 👹👹👹👹

Look at the token black guy to fool the people that he is not a racist.

Who gets to define the “or disorderly” part......Goodbye 1st Amendment. If Trump wins won’t be long till he and the GOP Frat Boys will be rewriting the Constitution to give themselves absolute power.

Gestapo.

Give them an inch, they take a mile 😐

GovRonDeSantis realDonaldTrump Stop trying to be an cheetofacejr! We have the right to protest as often and as loud as we want! As long as their are leaders like you in power there will be protests! You both need to go! GTGO VoteBidenHarris

Hey Fun Fact: A dog’s sense of smell is more than 100,000 times stronger than that of a human.

Правильно бля

What a headline. It’s for people who actively participate. Not attend. Stop being so misleading. It’s ridiculous

Isn’t that convenient since it’s the cops that turn protests violent.

We now live in a dictatorship. This is a captain following orders to punish the people for speak up up or not conforming to the behaviors and beliefs set by the ruler .

Its about time. its clear there are savages that look for opportunities to destroy and pillage. these were not protest in Tampa. Protests are something intelligent civilized people do... In Tampa they were neither intelligent or civilized

Good

He’s got to go too

Legislation should be proposed to hold DeSantis's indifference to the pandemic in Florida as felony.

Gotta crush the rebels hunh, Tarkin?

Hey Democrats, Joe Biden Just Voted in Person, Why Can’t You? VOTE IN PERSON!

Does that include White Supremacy Groups ?

Bring on the Peace! More Troops Scheduled to Come Home

Americans Announce What They Actually Think About The Senate Scandal Among political parties, 68% of Republicans, 63% of Democrats, and 71% of Independents said they support holding hearings during an election year.

Increased jail time for people who attend protests ? No. No. No. Typical CNN. It's increased jail time for people who riot and throw bricks at police officers. Can't you get it right, just once, CNN ?

Ron looks uncomfortable when his head isn’t up tRumps ass!

How about those who knowingly put themselves in the middle of a maskless tRump cull rally, they should be also charged with felonies for endangering public health, don’t you think Ron?

Fake news, for people that commit crimes

Sounds like some Nazi are taking over our democracy

Batista has come back to life.. just moved from Cuba..

A peaceful protest is walking in a designated pedestrian zone holding signs. Blocking roads and harassing innocent citizens and vandalizing businesses is violent and anarchist. Anyone who chooses to protest needs to remove their head out of their ass and do it right or go to jail

EXCELLENT !!!!!

Poll: Voters Pick Sides of the Thin Blue Line American voters believe there’s a war on police People are worried law enforcement attacks will lead to a shortage of officers, and that could endanger their own families by making their cities less safe.

Freaking nuts.

What a shame

Fine print...”if your a minority and even if a white guy or girl lights the match”

How about you concentrate on making a sweeping mask mandate

Fermenting the rise of the Fourth Reich in America. This is also akin to practices in Communist countries, considering the fact that the Trump supporters like to label the protesters as Communist/Marxist. A new era of the open decline of Democracy and rise of authoritarianism.

How bout the anti maskers threatening people to get into stores where there is a sign requiring use of masks? They are nuts!!!!

The Ass should be arrested for ignoring Covid protocols

I basically thought it was a scam until I decided to give it a try with just little start up $600 and I got $3,000.00 in just 7days it was so amazing and everything worked out well TheCryptoDog0

So instead of taking care to decrease the infection rate you turn your time to this?

Crime boss, bully!

Authoritarianism. Criminalizing opposition

Trump pays far right radicals to start the violence!

If the revolution is televised I hope you go first in this hypothetical situation which I don’t endorse

You make it sound like they will be arresting peaceful protestors which they will not. But cnn has to spin things to fit their agenda.

Sooo instead of putting legislation in place for safer policing... I hate it here

Fake headline

What is he have to say about the Ku Klux Klan his Nazi party who is he planning to put in jail? How many of the right wing Henchman are deputize I no longer worry hurt but a badge, What makes him think that people of color will not retaliate? how long before declared martial law

Cry more, Libs

Does this apply to police that attend those protests?

UNLESS THEY ARE RIGHT WING FUNCTIONAL ILLITERATES CARRYING WEAPONS OF WAR

Does he know anything about the CONSTITUTION?

Good for him!

It’s about Fucking time!!!

Such a proposal will be void for vagueness and overbreadth. The mere attendance at a rally, without more, is a 'status' issue that should not lead to punitive action. The law must instead address the 'actual doers' -- usually RWNJs and Boogaloo Bois these days.

This dude needs to take a long walk off a short pier

I hope these proposals will also be enforced when Biden wins in November and all of the white supremacist Trump supporters in Florida take to the streets with their guns in protest.

He is so in touch with the point of protests vs. looters.... but hey, walk around with those AR's and that's fine! 🙄

Disorderly protests.... aka RIOTS.

He’s just trying to keep up with his Leaders agenda! He’s the ultimate Trump Red Gov.! Felonious UC mastermind, Down below 10% of original testing sites just lower his numbers to remain aligned with Trumps lies! Not reporting child Virus cases, still missing those mail sorters!

Freedom of Assembly? Smeedom of Assembly.

Good

Attending a protest of policy is a crime... Woooaaa America you are now a communist state Hahaha suckers.... Maybe if you had hit the books more and less diversive vanity... You would have seen this coming... But hey keep drinking the trump Kool-Aid

I don’t know about you, but I for one am more than tired of the threats that these idiots are making. The story has already been written. The “people” will take their country back. It’s not going to be pretty.

How the fuck is someone supposed to know if a protest is going to turn violent? What about counter protestors? What exactly constitutes being involved in a protest? This sounds like some election year BS to make it sound like he’s doing something but in reality is meaningless.

The new gestapo!

Let's start with the woman who chanted ' death to America', she need to put to death. Hey Portland, you need help Florida is a great place. This should be a national law, defunding the police should be a felony.

Considering that the cops have been the majority MAKING protests 'violent and disorderly', I would hope this affects them as well, right? RIGHT?

Good for him!

1st Amendment makes that proposal null and void. Remember when Republicans were pro Constitution? Now they want to pretend it doesn't exist. gop

Enough of this crap

I admired my relatives who kept working for pennies washing someone else’s floors, marching for the rt to vote, endured & survived enslavement. I hope that I will do them proud by surviving the planned withdrawal of Blk rights which are upon us. DeanObeidallah riversl706

Hurray, we are building a 1 party dictatorship

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

1. If you’re at a protest, at what point after it ‘turns violent’ is it illegal to stick around? 5 min? 15 min? 2. How do you determine if someone’s part of the protest? What about a bystander taking photos? Clapping hands? 3. Is carrying a gun & intimidating others ‘violence’?

Trumps puppy....

Pelosi Stonewalls Bill That Would Crack Down on Chinese Influence in U.S. She is putting politics over national security. WHY

Thats against the law and people could just sign petitions about not convicting anyone protesting.

Would that rule apply when its the police who start the violence in the first place?

And that’s why 1,000 people per day are moving there. Odd, no one is running towards NY, OR, or CA.

Awesome

Stealing purses is not 1st amendment

Just the next step to a police state.

GOP is trying to criminalize dissent.

That guy even looks stupid

DeSantis is a farce. He let the seniors in Florida die from the virus.

Better late than never.

So your 'men' in black without badges assaulting and kidnapping people are also going to be charged too right?

It’s a felony what desantis and trump did with the virus

It is fair and necessary.

So Ronny is attempting to put limitations on peaceful protest. How this reads, if I am protesting peacefully and white racists fucks start riots and damage I can be arrested

I guess because he is ineffectual as a leader...GOOD, that means potus' thugs and followers will be arrested and held accountable i.e., KKK, boogaloo boys, proud boys and supporters who've all lost their ability to own their own behavior!

MN needs this kind of leadership. The idiot Gov and AG there are passing out free gas cards so rioters can burn things. Frankly, violence and destruction of property need to be federal crimes that get prosecuted. Only liberals will complain about this point.

It’s not a threat, it’s a duty he has keeping this terrible violence & killing off the streets. I wonder what you would do if one of your loved one ,was murdered /lost their business from these terrible people. Your hate for the president takes over your heart for human life!

So this leaves room for white guys with guns or torches to take to the street right?

And also trample on First Amendment rights!

Sounds good.

IF California can pass laws to keep people who have sex with minors from being put on the sex offender list DeSantis can surely do that.

Dicksantis strikes again

Die GovRonDeSantis get arrested for inciting the violence?

DeSantis does whatever Trump tells him to. Hopefully, Florida comes out and votes for Biden. JoeBiden you need to visit Florida because there are enough people fed up with Trump.

Great.

Good Job Our first amendment does not Include burning and looting or rioting. About Time Rioters Pay That million dollar bail sure seemed to work in Pennsylvania~ Thanks Florida!!

Grrrr RonDeSantisFL you’re so scary😳 You might want to do something to save Floridians from death by Covid

downwithdesantis

awesome! rioters should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

He needs to get kicked out of office.

RonDeSantisFL After you finish stepping on the First Amendment, maybe you should try a salad... WowYouAreGettingReallyFat

Awesome!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯❗

Another CRAZY SOB.

Welcome to Hong Kong, USA.

So.. if you attend a protest.. and it tunend bad.. you say “ this isn’t what I signed up for” so you go off to the side.. you get some sort of political sentence

Individuals who peacefully protest have no control over third parties who may engage in illegal acts. Unlike the police department who has control over who they hire, their training and discipline. Laws which violate the First Amendment will not stop protests. Justice will.

Finally a governor with balls.

Awesome!

Great job Gov DeSantis, keep Florida safe from these terrorist

Best gov in the country. You demonized him because he’s a republican. FL is safe and has handled the virus better than any blue state.

That's against the Constitution!

yes. go fla.

Can’t wait to seeing if the white supremists and Trump supporters who intimidate people are arrested or just equal rights protestors.

About time someone tries to make it a LAW.

Ladies and Gentleman THE best sheriff in the entire country Sheriff Grady Judd, he should run for president 2024.

Charging someone with a felony for being in the general vicinity of someone that commits a crime? Good luck enforcing that outside China or North Korea.

i dont think ppl understand that there have been way more protests than riots lmao

Support Law Enforcement..

That's why I voted for you Gov. DeSantis.. keep that riff raff out of here..

Can we fast forward 2 years and get him tf outta here please.

Facists gonna facist.

Luckily he will be in the minority soon.

Is that for all the right wingers also, or just the left protesters.

Bullshit and who ever stepped in it!

Vote him out!

So law enforcement could use unnecessary force and tactics in order to stampede a crowd into disorder, and then slap penalties on them to add insult to injury?

In other words he is stopping the rights of citizens to protest a dictators move. So he will arrest the innocent too. Reminds me of a third world nation.

Make sure you arrest Trumps vigilantes.

As I expected, the left on here support the rioters. Good for the Governor time to end the destruction of property by the far left lunatics.

Good! Rioters need to held accountable. Killing people, starting fires, looting, attacking police and innocent people. That’s not peaceful protests. 1A is about peaceful expression. Felonies all around!

Him 1st.

2497 “NEW” COVID-19 cases in Florida...yesterday

Wait till trumps SCOTUS gets seated, there will be no stopping these deranged republicucks.

Vote Blue in November to save democracy and end the trump coverup of corruption!

And just think, the Supreme Court will be okay with this

So they even attend

Lock the mofos up

Has he seen the Villages yet? He better start worrying about retirees!

RonDeRacist RonDeathSantis

Another step toward Fascism .

Every state needs to put this in place!

DeSantis can get fucked.

Good

What about people that have rallies of thousands of people that don’t enforce the states laws of social distancing and masks and risk massive spread of the coronavirus and possible death, ?

So as I understand this would punish free speech and assembly, but not truly deal with the looters, vandals and arsonists? We all ready have laws to help a person who's dinner is interrupted by an unruly person.

Since most of the real violence is caused by the thugs and militia crowd who are DJT supporters-feel free to put those threatening and acting out violently at peaceful protests in jail and while they are at it, add the Trump supporters threatening early voters.

Does that include his Cuban Bugalloo Boys based out of Miami who shot and killed that police officer at one of the Protests? or all the Embedded Right Wing White Supremecists embedded within the Antifa Protestors and BLM protests?

So the white guys with guns will get in trouble too or just the Black people

He said looting and destroying property ... wouldn’t those descriptive terms help clarify your subject line?

DeSantis you are just a puppet

I think they are getting ready for after rigging the election for Donald Trump.

Even the right wing white dudes causing all the trouble?!

Fuck him. You can't arrest someone for attending a rally where others mayvbe violent. If thats the case then arrest everyone in every bar in Florida if a bar fight happens.

How can people know if it will turn ?

Big piece....

Black protest only?it is time he made up his mind

Does this include cops who instigate riots?

Then, Florida is less democratic than Venezuela.

What the hell is happening in this country?

Will the same legislation apply to the police officers?

Good!

Yes let all the criminals out to burn down all leftist towns genius

Jail white nationalists and Nazis. They are terrorists.

This guy believes trump will get him to the White House....VOTE Your primary.

So glad we have a law and order governor!

And yet, America has the gall to sanction HK police.

Distraction. Only a tiny percentage of demonstrators make trouble. How about focusing on what they’re demonstrating about?

LET'S HAVE A MILITANT POLICE STATE!!!

I'm sure we have plenty of laws for violent individuals without making up a whole new category based on the location of their crime and their running over people with their car by accident because they were fleeing.

Awesome

He’s an idiot

Focus on voting and making sure it is counted,This is a distraction.

Does that include RIOT POLICE?

About damn time!

See? They don't WANT you to talk back. See your rights slipping away?

He needs to reread the First Ammendment

Sounds unconstitutional. GOPHypocrisy

can't change the first amendment.

That’s awesome everyone state needs to do that!!!!!

Not sure why anyone would want to listen to this moron after the way he handled the virus back in June

Yes About time. Not in my state! End the ANTIFA/BLM looting and violence or stay in MN!

Good throw all the cops in jail

People seem to forget what this country is based on. So can we charge members of the Boston Tea Party posthumously?

These mfers are trying to stop Democrats from voting! That's all this is!

Gotta love unconstitutional legislation

That's illegal. Because the government won't protect peaceful protesters for anarchists and right wing hate groups it's their fault? We need better leadership in America. Mask up. Vote for Biden/Harris. Care for all. =

so, like trump rallies?

Good

threatens felonies wtf cnn u have to be the biggest joke.

This should be a no-briber. You riot, you get arrested, you get convicted and do the time.

'Disorderly' will be a judgement call, and given the history of law enforcement's selective judgement, minorities will be considered disorderly just for wearing white after Labor Day.

Unconstitutional. My vital right to peacefully protest is chilled because trouble that I'm no part of may break out and make me subject to prosecution for other's illegality? Only an idiot, or a Chinese Communist, could come up with some idiotic shit like that.

Most states of the former Confederacy adopted Black Codes, laws modeled on former slave laws. These laws were intended to limit the new freedom of emancipated African Americans by restricting their movement and by Vagrancy laws allowed blacks to be arrested for minor infractions.

So if I go to a rally and protest peacefully, but it turns ugly, I face jail time? Really? Goodbye First Amendment.

lock up the rioters and looters

VOTE BLUE

So in other words we are going to use this law to bum rush peaceful protestors and then charge them with a felony

🤪

Lock DeSantis up. He has sacrificed the people of his state to please Trump.

Key word: turns violent or disorderly

There are no violent protesters . When blacks protect you label them as violent so you have open season to kill or injury them. The ones that at doing the violence are not black the ones are getting kill are black. Call it what it is okay. whites protect there are no police.

THEY ARE TAKING AWAY EVERY ONE OF OUR RIGHTS & STACKING THE COURTS. WHEN WILL PEOPLE STOP VOTING AGAINST THEMSELVES

This is political BS narrowly aimed at the type of protests we have had recently across the nation. The notion that people can drive into protesters with impunity, bond denied to protesters and the other shit he proposes is just pandering to the right wing herd mentality.

but it only take some statement from political operative to declare a protest violent... this is an abuse of power and a way to suppress 1st amendment rights from the same ppl who go ballistic when their precious 2A gets remotely 'threatened' or mentioned

Awesome, this should be done federally. The left and their rioting antifa army have got to be held responsible!!

Wave bye bye to the Constitution

lackey

I'll take unconstitutional for 400.

Another Republican who has never read the Constitution.

People like him turn protests violent and disorderly,by sending violent people to break them up

Fascism

George Washington was a protestor.

TL;DR riots are not “protest”.

I propose that DeSantis resign! He's an idiot - but then he fits right in-FloridaMan

What BS! This is just to discourage people from protesting at all. What kind of grey area is there if someone protects themselves at a protest from agitators that start something. This is just a loop hole try and stop protests because it’s about something they don’t like.

So does that same rule apply to weapon toting trump supporters who start violence?

So if you infiltrate peaceful protests, provoke violence, peaceful protesters go to jail,

Like ..the cops that turn everything violent or no?

What else would you expect from Governor Mini-Me?

What is he nuts? So if someone attends a protest, and through no fault of their own it turns violent, they get a felony charge? He's certifiable.

A great motivator for agitators looking to destroy a movement.

wait so Clinton, BILL admitted years ago that the three strikes law was a bad idea and now we are increasing jail time for these types of crimes surrounding protests. how is this different. lets put more people in jail for longer for disorderly crimes? makes total NOT

LAW AND ORDER👍👍👍

Melt them down, sell the metal, use the money to start paying those fucking reparations already. Melt them down
