DeSantis: “If you riot, you are going to jail, and you are going to have to spend time in jail. If you assault law enforcement in a violent assembly, you are definitely going to go to jail. You burn down somebody’s business. ...”
Harsher punishments if committed 'in furtherance of a riot.'
"For instance, a burglary committed by a rioter would be elevated from a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, to a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison."
New definitions for a riot:
"a public disturbance of at least three people with a “common intent.." A new crime of aggravated rioting... if the disturbance involves nine or more people and results in “great bodily harm,” property damage over $5,000 or blocks traffic..."
"Toppling a statue or damaging a tomb would be a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Causing more than $200 in damage to a monument would be a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison."
Blocks defunding of police:
"If a city reduces police funding, any resident could file an objection with the governor’s office, which would have the authority to amend or modify the budget."

@donwinslow crosses the line between the public debate over a complex issue and agitprop aimed at inciting violence against Americans.
The fact that this video still has a platform after being seen by ~3m people shows that the social networks aren't trying to stop violence, they are trying to gain political favor.
The REAL danger facing a world interconnected by networking isn't disruption. As we have seen on numerous occasions, the danger posed by disruptive information and events is fleeting.
1/n
"Disruption, although potentially painful in the short term, doesn't last, nor is it truly damaging over the long term. In fact, the true danger posed by an internetworked world is just the opposite of disruption."
2/n
"This danger is an all-encompassing online orthodoxy. A sameness of thought and approach enforced by hundreds of millions of socially internetworked corporations. A global orthodoxy that ruthless narrows public thought down to a single, barren, ideological framework."
3/n
“Older populations are whiter... Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to... them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”
"In a meeting last month, all voting members of the committee (of independent health experts advising the CDC) indicated support for putting essential workers ahead of people 65 and older and those with high-risk health conditions."
“To me the issue of ethics is very significant, very important for this country, and clearly favors the essential worker group because of the high proportion of minority, low-income and low-education workers among essential workers.”
