Right. The economic and social policies of Florida make it an appealing place to live. Sheriff Judd, and many other Floridians enjoy Florida for what it is and we discourage blue voters from moving to Florida if they are bringing their failed blue state social and economic policies with them.

I don't like these people bullying diners either but I don't see police responding to restaurants because someone is bothering them. They have better things to do. You don't stop riots because of an anti-riot law.

Granting drivers civil immunity if they run over protestors, what could go wrong with that one.
Charlottesville comes to mind.

Your pre-pandemic blog post is nearly 2 years old, thus, nearly irrelevant.

You do when there’s severe penalties for being a rioter. The lack of severe penalties is why criminals riot, loot, cause violence etc... They get defended for turning cities into cesspools rather than being punished to the full extent for their criminal ways.

Why are you lefties so afraid of any opinion that does not match yours?
I would say the same about a mirror image sheriff advocating for Dems.

Lefties call me a rightie. righties call me a leftie. LOL Guess I am both.

Do you even understand math?

Even using whatever podunk state you live in, if you pay $3,000 more in real estate tax in Florida, you save much more by having no income tax at all.
Bingo...and while it’s obvious they don’t understand math, you’re assuming they pay taxes and no income tax would affect them. Lots of folks collecting free stuff.

What a misinformed post. The Latin population in Florida is conservative and growing. Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans are overwhelmingly conservative, which is why two urban Miami House seats flipped from blue to red. It’s also why Trump increased his victory margin substantially in 2020.

Old white people run the Democrat Party and it will be a happy day when they are no longer around.
