>> FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor

> Source?

    the defendant in the lawsuit can use the plaintiff’s participation
    in a "riot," as defined by the 2021 law, as "an affirmative defense."

    This means that the person being sued can argue in court that their
    action was justified by the riot.

>> FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor

> Not true.

This last bit seems like a pretty firm assertion. What is your source for it?

Second, a rioter is not the same as a protestor.

Third, someone must have been in threat from a rioter to use that defense successfully.

The truth is somewhere in the middle. Overview: https://eu.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/13/fl...
