    “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.”

      And we’re still seeing the chemtrails, not every day but still being sprayed over like roaches.

      To clarify, are you saying you believe that long-lasting condensation trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually “chemtrails” consisting of chemical or biological agents, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public?

      I don’t understand how these MAGA Morons can’t figure out that these laws they want are two-edged swords. If they can use it against normal people, then normal people can use it against them, too.

        That’s because you still think the system will act fairly, it won’t. If you hit someone the administration likes, you’re in trouble, if you someone they don’t like, you’re a hero. There’s never been any intentions of fairness from the republicans, rules for thee not for me.

          This is the number one flaw with the “rule of law” and State authority structure. The enforcement of the law always comes down to how the ruling body of authority, the State and its representatives, interpret the laws. It is why they are intentionally written to be vague, to allow a court wiggle room in how to apply the letter of a law to a unique situation, and many in fact contradict each other if argued a certain way.

          If the system becomes corrupted, which it often is due to how top-down power attracts people who seek control over others, those vagaries can be used as weapons against those who oppose their power and to systematically exploit marginalized people.

          That works great as long as Right-wingers stay in power. They have this overwhelming arrogance that tells them they will NEVER leave office, but then they always manage to be so terrible at governing that they eventually get kicked out. Then all those oppressive laws can be used against them, if Dems could muster up any sense of courage.

            Right, when the Democrats are in power they’re afraid of Republicans, when the Republicans are in power they’re afraid of nothing

        Issue is, they don’t want equal laws for all. They want a hierarchical system, where people upper the ladder have more rights and more protections, because “it worked well for the kings”. If they want to conform to this rule of reactionary movements, they will likely make it so, that they’ll specify “illegal protests” somewhere…

        Maga has gotten the green light that rules don’t apply to them especially after j6 pardons. If someone runs over a maga idiot you can guarantee courts will throw the book at the driver. Rules for the and not for me.

        And how is that working out? So far the right has shown that they are willing to keep escalating. You can bring a gun to a protest and not shoot anyone. I’ve seen it happen. The rightwingers always back down when liberals show up with guns.

        The drag queen story hour stuff in texas where the antifascists showed up armed did fine. It probably was more peaceful than most.

        Edit: it is important to note texas is an open carry state.

    In a stand your ground state?

    Haha, ok. Good luck, Attorney General James Uthmeier.

    If an armed protestor shoots a driver who is driving at them with intent to cause bodily harm, they… Both have the right to possibly kill one another?

    Driver has the green light. Gunman has the green light.

    Cool, cool. Makes sense.

      I think you are forgetting the right of killing and injuring.
