However, Jacksonville City Councilwoman Ju’Coby Pittman, who delivered remarks before DeSantis took the stage, stepped to ask the crowd to quiet down and listen.
“It ain’t about parties today,” she told the audience. “A bullet don’t know a party.”
The bullet may not know a party, but the gun and shooter absolutely did, and it's 10000% obvious where the party affiliation lies. Anybody who pretends otherwise should be ignored and mercilessly kicked for their ignorance and/or lies.
Yeah. One party is guilty of stochastic terrorism. They've been emboldening Nazi racist fuckwits for years now. The fuck did they expect was going to happen? Of course they don't care they just want power, regardless of whatever it costs the rest of us.
They don't care if the entire country burns down to the ground, as long as they get to rule over the pile of ashes.
Glad I saw this because that's exactly what I was thinking. Gun advocates love to call for the shooter, not the weapon so in this case, the shooter is absolutely affiliated and the current republican party enables and encourages this behavior. Apparently it's appropriate to pray at the vigil YOU enabled. Disgusting.
What the hell does this dumbass expect? Not only has he loosened laws gun laws in the state making crimes like this easier to commit, but he's shown nothing but antagonism towards the black community. He gerrymandered half the black state congress house seats out of existence, he constantly uses CRT and "wokeism" as racist dog whistles, he basically tried to strip black history out of education (or whitewashed it by claiming it was actually a good thing for the victims), he recently removed a black prosecutor for "failing to do her job" (even though he has been MIA in Florida for months) and he appoints literal KKK members to positions of power in the state.
I'm amazed he had the gall to even show up.
Are they really dogwhistles when it's so obvious? Pretty much air raid sirens at this point.
He almost certainly expected this and it's almost certainly a part of a play. It's really obvious to anyone that this would happen. I'd bet he now goes around and talks about how uncivilized and hostile the people were and how he's the victim of the woke mob, or whatever. I don't think he's stupid, and that's the most dangerous part.
I'm partially impressed Desantis 1. had the gall to show up. 2. was likely expecting not to get booed. Plz someone get this clown out of my state and exile him to one of those plastic islands out in the center of most Seas
Now that he is slowly giving up on the presidency. He is starting to realize the state, he abandoned/ignored for his entire "Presidential world tour and crusade on Wokeness", is in trouble.
Needless to say, Florida people aren't happy about that. Even the quiet ones.

When Ron's people don't have complete control of an event like this vigil, this is what you get. Wait until they have no choice over who can ask him questions. Don't be deceived by the show.
Good, well deserved
They should have thrown meatballs while booing.
No silly, then they'd get charged with terrorism while Ron DeSatan gets to freely commit human trafficking offenses. 😄
That website gave me cancer. Full length ad 4 seconds then another ad. Fuck mediaite
Using Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript, I didn't even know there were ads on the page.
Ok well I’m on Wef Wef on my phone.
On Firefox on mobile I'm pretty sure you can get both the add-ons they mentioned. I know for sure ublock is available. So you can block ads on your phone too
You still have the ability to change your default browser on your phone, though. Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
If you're on Android you can use wefwef with Firefox.
To say he can't read the room would be an understatement.
