Florida Governor Ron DeSantis 'to allow armed citizens to shoot suspected looters and rioters' who target businesses in an expansion of the state's Stand Your Ground law
- Gov Ron DeSantis drafted 'anti-mob' legislation that would expand Florida's Stand Your Ground law
- It would allow armed citizens to shoot suspected looters or anyone engaged in 'criminal mischief' that disrupts a business
- The proposal came in response to months of protests against police brutality which have sometimes been accompanied by violence and looting
- It would also make it a third-degree felony to block traffic during a protest
- Drivers who claim to have unintentionally killed or injured protesters who block traffic would be immune from prosecution
