This is the Florida "Mow down Rioters with Car" Provision
870.07 Affirmative defense in civil action; party convicted of riot.—

(1) In a civil action for damages for personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage, it is an affirmative defense that such action arose from an injury or damage sustained by a participant acting in furtherance of a riot. The affirmative defense authorized by this section shall be established by evidence that the participant has been convicted of a riot or an aggravated riot prohibited under s. 870.01, or by proof of the commission of such crime by a preponderance of the evidence.

(2) In a civil action in which a defendant raises an affirmative defense under this section, the court must, on motion by the defendant, stay the action during the pendency of a criminal action that forms the basis for the defense, unless the court finds that a conviction in the criminal action would not form a valid defense under this section.

As I understand it, if you are convicted of participating in a riot and are injured by someone else, you may not pursue civil action against that person (the court must "stay" the action). Please note, criminal action, such as assault (vehicular assault can be considered assault with a deadly weapon) or homicide, is not included.

Also note, a judge has put a hold on this Florida statute because it is overly vague. Effectively, everyone would wind up being considered a rioter. I think we can all agree that minor trespassing and incidental damage should not raise the situation to "a riot" while significant damage, assaults and arson should be considered riots. I'd also like some definitive guidelines between who is considered an actor versus a spectator.

As for the Police blocking traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge for 2 hours, that does seem to be an illegal act. DeBlasio should have called the cops.

Which cops would have arrested them? They were too busy arresting mild-mannered counter-protesters elsewhere for the same "crime"!

@WilyRickWiles - Exactly - no cops mean no rule of law.

I'd think we should both be able to agree that blocking traffic, unannounced, should be legally discouraged. That being said, the powers that be will always try to interfere with uncomfortable demonstrations that we have a right to participate in. Not sure what the balance is.

Why was Antifa not there running a counter protest with weapons and clubs???

They probably knew better

Sure seems they are everywhere with the frequency right-wing media cry about them!

I'm gonna say arrest them and put them in the pokey for a week as a deterrent to such behavior.

Do you think they will arrest themselves?

@WilyRickWiles I sure wouldn't count on it.

Any time you stop normal people from going on with their lives, getting to work etc, eventually someone will take enough offense to end your life. That's just the Bell curve of possibilities.

In the world of rule of law, that's called murder. In the cops' world of law and order, and where cops get preferential treatment under the same circumstances, that's called the natural order.

@WilyRickWiles I didn't disagree but calling to authoritarianism is a weak argument. The cops should not be shutting down parts of a city this way. Laws are there to let regular people live their lives free of coercion.

@Penrodster Who polices the police if we sentence the people to capital punishment for the merest civil disobedience in protest of police impunity?

@WilyRickWiles "if we sentence the people to capital punishment" So you are actually Cathy Newman?

Can you point to my words where I made that claim? Possibly I misunderstood what I wrote.

And then they came for me. Those who carry out these criminal orders will themselves be taken.
