Miami Herald ^ | 09 September 2021 | BY ANA CEBALLOS HERALD/TIMES TALLAHASSEE BUREAU

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked Gov. Ron DeSantis and three Florida sheriffs from enforcing a key portion of the state’s so-called anti-riot law, in part, because it “encourages arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.”

The definition of what constitutes a riot under a new state law pushed by the governor is too vague “to the point of unconstitutionality,” U.S. District Judge Mark Walker of Tallahassee wrote in his preliminary injunction order....

No one will rising up against Biden. Jan 6 has ensured no one will be rising up in the future.

Disagree ...

It wasn’t Jan 6 that was the game changer, it was Biden’s persecution of these patriot citizens that has done the ‘ensuring’

I’m aware of the idea of unconstitutional vagueness in laws, but really, the whole thing is in THE FIRST AMENDMENT, IMPOSED ON THE STATES BY THE INCORPORATION CLAUSE OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT: The right of the people to PEACEABLY assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances.

I believe state anti-rioting laws are therefore perfectly constitutional.

I can guarantee you that if the hood rats from the Southside of Tallahassee, showed up in the Judge’s tony Northeast neighborhood, that rioting would be shut down mighty quick. Another gated community elitist subjecing the peasants to things that wouldn’t be tolerated in their areas..

"Jan 6 has ensured no one will be rising up..."

Not how it will go down.

It will be Dem & Lib & Rhino leaders being physically removed.

The leaders will be taken out by Lone Wolves.

You don’t need to declare a riot to arrest people for J-walking. Blocking traffic or illegal assembly without a permit.

I still think that a sizable group of “warriors” should show up at the homes of people who make mistakes like this. Show up dressed in red with red masks so you can’t be identified. That’s the way antifa does and nobody bothers them.

antifa is a approved group (Brown Shirt) not a precedent.

That judge is going to look like a fool when his perception
is overturned.

"Jan 6 has ensured no one will be rising up in the future."

Well....Almost...
What it really has done is whipped the sheeple into a state of submission from which they will never recover...
Instead of "rising up", the Aamerican sheeple will be "rolling over" and mewling:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

The order has gone out to throw up roadblocks to anything DeSantis wants to accomplish, in order to punish him for disobeying ByeDone.

You are right. The “insurrection” will be hung over everyone who even thinks of protesting anything the left does. When people stop worrying about being an “insurrectionist” is when the swamp will once again be worried.

[[because it “encourages arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.”]]

What the judge appears to be questioning is a lack of precise definition of ‘riot’...which is not directly practical.
