Governor DeSantis Says Drivers Can Act in Self-Defense if Threatened by Protesters

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has sparked fresh debate after reaffirming a controversial stance on protest-related incidents. According to the Governor, Florida residents are permitted to take defensive action including driving through crowds if they genuinely believe their life is in immediate danger during a protest.

The statement aligns with earlier legislation passed in Florida aimed at curbing violent demonstrations and protecting public safety.

 However, critics argue the policy could be misused and potentially endanger peaceful demonstrators.
