DeSantis Issues DANGEROUS WARNING

You see, Florida is a Second Amendment State and citizens have the right to shoot looters.

The state will back him up too. He pulled no punches at a press conference. “At the end of the day, we are not going to allow lawlessness to take advantage of this situation. We are a law-and-order state, and this is a law-and-order community, so do not think that you’re going to go take advantage of people who’ve suffered misfortune.”

DeSantis mentioned what people have done to secure their properties- “They boarded up all the businesses, and there are people that wrote on their plywood, ‘you loot, we shoot.” DeSantis continued. “At the end of the day, we are not going to allow lawlessness to take advantage of this situation. We are a law-and-order state, and this is a law-and-order community, so do not think that you’re going to go take advantage of people who’ve suffered misfortune.”

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno echoed, “We are not going to tolerate — and I mean zero tolerance — when we say anyone that thinks they’re going to thrive on the residents of this county or state when we just took a horrific hit, I can guarantee you that is not going to happen.”

At a later event DeSantis “told Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie that the state could provide support in the event of people bringing boats to try to ‘ransack’ homes on islands that have been isolated from the mainland.” He emphasized, “I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home. I would not want to chance that if I were you, given that we’re a Second Amendment state.”

“Florida will not tolerate looters taking advantage of #HurricaneIan to prey on vulnerable Floridians. They will be arrested and I have asked state attorneys to seek the longest pretrial detention possible to keep them locked up so they cannot commit new crimes.”

@Riverman2 You first asked
Where did this mindset come from that we are supposed to just lay down and let looters, robbers, and murderers have their way over us
And I answered that that mindset doesn't exist. And let me underline it for you, no one is claiming "we are supposed to just lay down and let looters, robbers, and murderers have their way over us." That's a total straw man fallacy. If you believe that claim is being made, please link us to instances of people making that claim.

Then, you asked a very clear question:
So why is there do much complaining about the governor of Florida?
I answered it briefly with complaints I had actually seen about the governor of Florida. And now you pretend that my answer to your question is somehow inappropriate? You asked, I answered; why do you have a problem with this??

@ElwoodBlues If one can not dazzle 'em with your brilliance, baffle 'em with ones bullschiff
@sunsporter1649 Keep on trying to avoid the facts why don't you?
According to one study done last fall by the British medical journal The Lancet, if Florida had achieved the vaccination rates seen in states like Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine, more than 22,000 lives could have been saved.

@ElwoodBlues What does that have to do with shooting looters? As usual, if one can not dazzle 'em with your brilliance, baffle 'em with ones bullschiff
@sunsporter1649 Can't you READ??? The gentleman asked:
So why is there do much complaining about the governor of Florida?
The truth of the matter is that there has been MUCH complaining about the governor of Florida LONG before he extended his cordial invitation to shoot at will.

@ElwoodBlues So change your name from Will to something else, then you will be safe to loot all you want
@sunsporter1649 This is you changing the subject now that I've explained my answer. Why didn't you just read my answer the first time and avoid making a fool of yourself??
@ElwoodBlues better ask yourself where is the mindset coming from that looks forward to killing people,

@sunsporter1649 that doesn't look like the size of a pomegranate seed to me.

Why is that? You trying to mislead people?

@ElwoodBlues hard to relate to someone who hates their own mother enough to force her to carry the seed of a rapist.
