   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.

     Deliberately cleaving the nation with this Trumpian divisive demagoguery by exploiting this tragedy for political gain is unacceptably grotesque and disgusting.

     @georgetakei vigilantism is anything but law abiding. How can one stick to an ideology with daily self-contradictories? Those living in Trump land really scare me. They are literally crazy people with guns.

     @georgetakei Ponce de Leon went to Florida looking for the "Fountain of Youth". Turns out, all Florida offers now is a fountain of hate and fear. This is not America.

     DeSantis also managing to throw in that anti-Semitic dog whistle. DeSantis is a sociopathic creep.

     I'm pretty sure the part where the Good Samaritan murders the hungry, hurting guy is only in the New Revised Republican Whitewashed edition.

     @georgetakei I was a Marine for 9 years. If a jury finds him guilty of manslaughter, he should pay the penalty. That’s how it used to work in this country.

     Can someone point out to me the part in the bible where good Samaritans kill people? I seem to have missed that bit.

     @georgetakei And if the jury does convict him, at least this is NY, not Texas. Governor not as likely to issue pardon.

     Generally speaking, "Good Samaritans" don't kill people. DeSantis is using Daniel Penny as an opportunity to beat his antisemitic drum, thus declaring open season on Jews. 🟦

     Is DeSantis approving the execution of a person because he's irritating? No trial, no jury?

     Would he like to know how many people consider him irritating... as well as a threat to many?
