Gov DeSantis wants to authorize people to shoot and kill people who are in process of "criminal mischief" (death, Brown)

I thought Florida already allowed this, just run at someone with your gun and claim Stand Your Ground.

The left loves criminals, especially considering 90% of the looters fall into their voting base.

Well when or if the law is signed the criminals will know it may be a consequence. So break into a store with the knowledge that you have the chance of getting shot. It might make you think twice wouldn't it?

Already a thread on this, but I say good for Florida

And, no, there are no constitutional concerns with such legislation. Anyone claiming otherwise doesn't understand the Constitution.

Makes sense. A looter is endangering the lives of others.

You can shoot people breaking into your house though, just not your business?

Highly doubtful. Opportunity overrides the risk. Hopefully the store owners have at least a semi-automatic, because when they rush the stores it's like World War Z.

Maybe the mods deleted the earlier thread, but there was definitely a thread on this topic last night

In any case, I'm glad to chime in with my support
