Rioting and breaking windows is already against the law, so why create new laws?

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.............

Being too soft on the protesters turned rioters has no good end game. I don't know why so many mayors across so many cities are just standing by and letting this stuff happen. It's going to end up blowing up in their faces at some point.

Here is an incident that happened in Denver Co. and its the driver who gets arrested !!!

That would likely have a different outcome should it happen Fl. with the Fl. Governor's bill !!!

Videos posted on social media showed protesters surrounding the unidentified driver's vehicle, some pressing on the hood to block its path when the car accelerated through the crowd and knocked at least one person to the side of the road.

Wednesday's incident began when the driver pulled up near a small crowd rallying in front of the Colorado Statehouse. Some members of the group would surround the vehicle and shout at the driver to turn around, but he refused, the Denver Post reported. Protesters banged on the vehicle with their fists before the driver plowed through them.
