This reminds me that conservatism isn't dead, otherwise we wouldn't see 1,000 people a day moving to Florida. My fear is this migration will turn FL blue.
Gov. DeSantis Signs Florida's ‘Anti-Riot' Bill Into Law"It is the strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country," DeSantis said
The governor began campaigning for the measure last year in response to protests over police violence against Black Americans. The nationwide protests first began after George Floyd's in-custody death on May 25.
And DeSantis signed the new bill into law as the country awaits a verdict in the murder trial of Floyd's accused killer, former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin.
DeSantis spoke of the trial at the signing on Monday.
“I don't know what's going to happen, but I can tell you that case was bungled by the attorney general there in Minnesota. They didn't handle it properly, so there may be some people disappointed,†he said.
Under the law, penalties will be enhanced for crimes committed during a riot or violent protest. It allows authorities to hold arrested protesters until a first court appearance. And it establishes new felonies for organizing or participating in a violent demonstration.
It also strips local governments of civil liability protections if they interfere with law enforcement’s efforts to respond to a violent protest and add language to state law that could force local governments to justify a reduction in law enforcement budgets.
DeSantis on Monday called efforts to defund police "an insane theory."............
