Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Draws Up Strong Anti-Riot Legislation in Expansion of Stand Your Ground Law
Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis is looking to expand his state’s Stand Your Ground law with specific anti-mob legislation, according to the Miami Herald.
The Miami Herald’s report is negative and critical in tone, but it does mention that Governor DeSantis is simply following up on his promise to crack down on mob violence.
He has proposed expanding, to quote the Herald, “the list of ‘forcible felonies’ under Florida’s self-defense law to justify the use of force against people who engage in criminal mischief that results in the ‘interruption or impairment’ of a business, and looting, which the draft defines as a burglary within 500 feet of a ‘violent or disorderly assembly.'”
DeSantis’ proposal would also make it a third-degree felony to block traffic while protesting, offer immunity to drivers who unintentionally hurt or kill a protester who blocks traffic, and allow the state of Florida to withhold funds from locales that cut police budgets.
The draft legislation can be read here...
Joe Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain, 2014: Yes, American Elections Are ‘Rigged’
Klain’s tweet came in response to a tweet by Vox.com that reported that 68 percent of Americans believe our elections are rigged:
The accompanying article said that Americans were right to suspect elections were “rigged” — because of what was legal:
A new Rasmussen poll finds that 68 percent of Americans think elections are rigged in favor of incumbents. And they’re basically right.The article focused on gerrymandering, which protected most congressional incumbents from serious challenges.
The term “rigged” might go a tad far. The problem here isn’t fraud. In elections, like in so much else, the scandal is what’s legal.
However, the reasoning could just as easily apply to large-scale vote-by-mail, which was introduced in the middle of the 2020 election over the objections of President Donald Trump and resulted in...
Here We Go: Biden ‘Scientific’ Advisor Wants ‘Strict As Possible’ Lockdowns
“The problem with the March-to-May lockdown was that it was not uniformly stringent across the country
If he is elected, Joe Biden has promised to shut down the country again should ‘experts’ recommend him to do so, and that is exactly what one of Biden’s ‘scientific’ advisors is asking for.
Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, has joined Biden’s “special coronavirus transition advisory team.”
Osterholm told reporters Wednesday that he believes there should be a nation-wide lockdown for four to six weeks in order to effectively manage the number of new cases and hospitalizations from coronavirus.
“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments,” Osterholm said.
“We could do all of that,” he said.“If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks,” he added.
Osterholm has repeatedly called for lockdowns, and for stricter measures to ensure they are properly enforced.
“The problem with the March-to-May lockdown was that it was not uniformly stringent across the country. For example, Minnesota deemed 78 percent of its workers essential,” Osterholm co-wrote in the New York Times.
“To be effective, the lockdown has to be as comprehensive and strict as possible,” the piece urged.
As strict as possible presumably means forcing people to...
