Florida Passes Anti Riot Bill H.B. 1

Florida passes anti riot bill granting immunity to people who drive through rioters amid riots. The bill is expected to be signed into law by Florida Governor Ron Desantis next week.

Democrats and Leftist activists claim it will stifle free speech while conservatives are cheering on the legislation in hopes that it will finally put an end to the ongoing BLM riots and antifa riots

Among other things, HB 1 will grant civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters blocking a road. It will prevent people arrested for rioting or offenses committed during a riot from bailing out of jail until their first court appearance. It will also impose a six-month mandatory sentence for battery on a police officer during a riot.
