And barely legal at that. Right to protest is curtailed bit by bit year by year. It isn't a protest if you have to apply for a permit and have to stay in some "free speech zone."
- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoIn some places in America it’s legal to kill protestors. (Florida IIRC recently passed a law granting immunity to people to run over protestors with their car.)
- snowflake_ptr 5y agoFact-check: false. The Florida law only applies to rioters, not protestors. "Riot" is defined as: "three or more people acting with common intent resulting in injury to others, damage to property, or the imminent danger of injury or damage." There's a second "Aggravated riot": "25 or more participants cause great bodily harm or more than $5,000 in property damage, uses or threatens to use a deadly weapon, or blocks roadways by force or threat of force." If you're doing any of the above things, you're not protesting. The law was most likely the direct result of a violent mob climbing on top of this guy's car in Florida, one of whom the driver hit in his attempts to get away.
