Florida governor pushes bill that would allow armed citizens to use deadly force against looters, rioters

Good news! Looting and riots are serious threats to a civil and open society! Mobs engaged in such criminal violence can not be tolerated!

"... The bill, which comes after months of civil unrest in the wake of George Floyd's death, would broaden Florida's Stand Your Ground law by expanding the "forcible felonies" list to justify the use of deadly force against individuals engaged in criminal activity resulting in "interruption or impairment" to a business, according to the Miami Herald. ...
The bill would also withhold state funding from local governments if they make "disproportionate funding reductions" to police budgets."

"Former Miami-Dade prosecutor Aubrey Webb [opines] ... "The Boston Tea Party members would have been lawfully shot under Florida's law by the British East India Tea Company,"".
This former prosecutor got his history quite wrong! Indeed, most likely these Sons of Liberty would have been shot had they not committed the Tea Party in a spontaneous, rapid, and unexpected  way in the evening and by using disguise! Second, this Tea Party happened in response to a unjust law imposed by a colonial power!
