"Florida governor Ron DeSantis has drafted a bill to expand the state's "stand your ground" laws, proposing that people be allowed to shoot "looters." As the Miami Herald reports, DeSantis' new "anti-mob" legislation sees him propose an expansion of the list of "forcible felonies" under Florida's self-defense law, including criminal mischief that causes any "interruption or impairment" of a business.
The draft explicitly mentions "rioters" and "looters," allowing citizens to use force against people who might be looting within 500 feet of a "violent or disorderly assembly." This could make protests especially dangerous in the state, where outside agitators have been known to incite violence and theft.
DeSantis' draft also proposes that it be made a third-degree felony to block traffic during a protest, and that drivers who "accidentally" kill or injure protesters be offered immunity."
