BREAKING: Democrats are demanding for Governor Ron DeDantis
DeSantis Sparks Controversy Over Protesters
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said in a June 11, 2025 interview, “If someone surrounds your vehicle and you believe your life is at risk, you can get out — even if someone gets hurt.” This refers to Florida’s HB1 “anti-riot” law, allowing civil immunity to drivers who injure or kill someone while fleeing a riot.
Law and Misunderstandings
The law grants immunity only if a driver has a “reasonable belief” their life is in danger but does not protect from criminal charges. Legal experts say DeSantis “oversimplifies and may mislead public understanding.”
Backlash from Democrats and Rights Groups
Democrats and groups like the ACLU condemn the statement, calling it “legalized vehicular violence” and demanding DeSantis’s removal.
Broader Implications
The situation blurs the line between protest rights and self-defense, potentially setting a “dangerous precedent.” Critics see it as political posturing ahead of 2026 elections, risking constitutional conflict in Florida.
