Florida Senate president bypasses roadblocks to move forward on controversial anti-protest bill

[TexasTowelie]

Senate President Wilton Simpson said Thursday he will use a procedural maneuver to ensure that a controversial law-and-order proposal pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis starts moving in the Senate.

The House last week signed off on the measure (HB 1), which would, among other things, create a new crime of “mob intimidation” and stiffen penalties for injuring police officers during protests that become violent. Midway through the 2021 legislative session, a Senate version (SB 484) has not been considered by a committee. The Senate Criminal Justice Committee was slated to give the measure an initial vetting, but Chairman Jason Pizzo, D-North Miami Beach, did not schedule it for a hearing.

In an unusual move Thursday, Simpson said the House measure would be sent to the Republican-controlled Senate Appropriations Committee.

Simpson told reporters “our intention will be to refer that bill to committee and we’ll be looking to take that up here in the very near future.”

1. We need to pressure Disney, Universal, and Sea World to speak out against this.

Publix would be a good one too.

2. Another really horrible thing about this bill

Is the fact that if any violence occurs, everyone goes to the slammer whether you were actually a participant of the violence or not. Another awful thing about this bill allows cars to drive right through crowds run over and kill people if they are in fear of their lives and think their pathway is blocked.

I love how DeSatan revived this bill after January 6th under the guise of something like this never happening in Florida. He seemed to think that everyone forgot that he started that months before and it was directly aimed at BLM.

And he is the demon who is becoming very popular country wide.
