Let’s be clear. DeSantis is encouraging vigilante justice. A black man is dead at the hands of a man who sought to restrain him. The man is charged with manslaughter, and rightfully so. Let the jury see the evidence. Slimy politicians, stay out.
@georgetakei Nothing changes. I recall a guy in NY city shut a person in the train and he got away with it. I believe it was around the 80s.

Bernhard Goetz, the Subway Vigilante.
He shot 3 men, paralyzing one permanently. He escaped conviction for assault and attempted murder, but was guilty of illegal handgun possession and spent a few months in jail.
Goetz was hailed by some as a hero. He has made public statements supporting Penny.
