Can DeSantis please run for president in 2024?
Nah. We want to keep him here in Florida.

This is why looters and rioters only stay in leftist sanctuaries. They know conservative areas have a shoot first ask questions never policy. This law is a good thing and will help prevent these uncivilized savages from burning up cities.

DeSantis pushes expansion of Stand Your Ground law as part of ‘anti-mob’ crackdown

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/pol...247094007.html

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.”
I am all for this and have advocated this for years in NY.
I hope DeSantis runs for President.

I'm sure this would work out great. If there's one state where its residents have a reputation for great personal decision-making, it's got to be Florida, right?

Tell that to the election official in GA who receives death threats every day from the MAGA terrorists.

Well, as noted previously, when Trump (almost certainly) lost, I didn't notice any blocked freeways, street protests/riots, police stations/vehicles torched, or massed protests down Main Street. Odd.
