A controversial statement has been made in the United States that has attracted widespread public attention. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, speaking on a talk show, said that in a dangerous situation, citizens have the right to run over protesters with a car in order to protect their lives.
According to the governor, he is talking about situations where protesters block the road, restrict traffic and threaten drivers. According to DeSantis, if a protester obstructs the movement of a citizen and the person starts the car in order to protect himself, then the blame should be placed on the protester.
“If someone surrounds your car and you try to get out of it, it is the responsibility of the protester who put himself in danger,” DeSantis said in an interview with talk show host Dave Rubin.
These words were uttered on the eve of mass demonstrations planned for June 14, the birthday of former US President Donald Trump. The action, organized under the slogan "Down with the Kings", is expected to spread across the country and intensify the protest movement.
According to information released by the CBS channel, this event has been declared a "national day of disobedience" and the population is called to unite in the movement "against brutality, corruption and authoritarianism".
Earlier, on June 6, demonstrations against Trump's immigration policy began in Los Angeles. The demonstrations turned into clashes with the police, and as a result, the government was forced to send in National Guard troops.
So far, DeSantis' statement has caused heated debate among civil society and law enforcement organizations in the US. A number of lawyers and activists assess that his words can incite citizens to violence. At the same time, his supporters support the governor's firm position on the issue of personal security.
