Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Drafting New Legislation Permitting Citizens to Shoot Looters

Quick, we need the National Review bois to whine about Muh Normz.

Florida's governor has drafted "anti-mob" legislation to expand already controversial Stand Your Ground laws -- to allow people to shoot looters, according to a report.

A draft of Gov. Ron DeSantis' proposed bill expands the list of "forcible felonies" under Florida's self-defense law to include criminal mischief causing "interruption or impairment" of a business, according to the Miami Herald, which obtained a copy through a records request.

It also specifically allows force against those looting, which the draft defines as burglary within 500 feet of a "violent or disorderly assembly."

DeSantis also wants to make it a third-degree felony to block traffic during a protest -- and offer immunity to drivers who accidentally kill or injure protesters who do so, according to the Herald.
