If these were BLM protestors, they would have been shot with tear gas and arrested under HB1, a law Ron Desantis signed that criminalizes blocking traffic during protests. I don’t want this law enforced on anyone but it’s disturbing to see FL Republicans selectively enforce laws.

This video shows the moments before demonstrators got onto the Palmetto Expressway near Coral Way to show their support for people protesting in Cuba.

Enforcing it on some group the Orcs don't like seems likely to cause a Federal Civil Rights lawsuit. Maybe DeSantis wanted to give away money without looking like a liberal?
