Gov. Ron DeSantis has drafted “anti-mob” legislation that would expand Florida’s Stand Your Ground law — a move that critics say will allow armed citizens to shoot suspected looters or anyone engaged in “criminal mischief” that disrupts a business.
Lawyers say it’s just one of the many troubling aspects of the draft bill being pushed by the Republican governor in response to police-brutality protests that erupted across Florida and the United States this summer.
“It allows for vigilantes to justify their actions,” said Denise Georges, a former Miami-Dade County prosecutor who had handled Stand Your Ground cases. “It also allows for death to be the punishment for a property crime — and that is cruel and unusual punishment. We cannot live in a lawless society where taking a life is done so casually and recklessly.”
Stand Your Ground Amendments 776.08 Forcible felony.
. . . device or bomb; looting; criminal mischief that results in the interruption or impairment
of a business operation; arson that results in the interruption or impairment of a business
operation; and any other felony . .
The intent of Stand Your Ground laws is to protect a person from an imminent threat without requiring a duty to retreat.
Under this legislation, if a criminal that identifies as a peaceful protester threatens to loot/destroy my business, I am no longer required to cower. If the criminal that identifies as a peaceful protester becomes an imminent threat to me because I won't allow him to loot/destroy my business, I would now be permitted to use lethal force.
If you remove the leftist hyperventilating from the article, there's not much left to read. Here's a direct link to the drafted legislation below.

He is just as jacked up mentally as trump - who voted for this nut case ?
Anyone notice how the leftists’ defense immediately goes to thugs threatening people and their businesses rather than the innocent people being threatened?

Another example of Leftist Reverse World.
Yep! Lefties care more about the criminal than they do the victim. It really is as simple as that.
