    Apparently not when an armed person feels threatened whether rationally or not especially in a state with a stand your ground law.

    It's not deflection.

    Posters were implying that some of these bathroom/locker room/drag show things aren't a widescale problem so it shouldn't be illegal.

    I say frequency has nothing to do with whether it's a problem, you bring up gun violence, which is already illegal.

    It's not my fault you brought up a bad example. Yes, gun violence is a problem and I support outlawing the killing of innocent people.

    This is the sort of thing that you can only say on an internet message board without getting laughed at.

    That is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard.

    What have we learned from Too Hot today folks?

    Gun violence apparently isn't illegal. :D

    This place is such a circus.

    I think you're confused. You responded to a poster about men flashing women and children. (Hint: That's illegal too).

    Okay, so what is it that DeSantis banned that wasn't already illegal then?

    Language of text alert

    Disney sues DeSantis -
    The Mouse is taking the Governor to court over what it alleges is a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" against the company for exercising its First Amendment rights.

    "Disney regrets that it has come to this. But having exhausted efforts to seek a resolution, the Company is left with no choice ... ," the lawsuit reads.

    The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. In addition to DeSantis, the suit names DEO Secretary Meredith Ivey and DeSantis' appointees to the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board.

    Disney has been losing for some time now. On a personal level… I’ve been faithfully visiting their parks for the past 6-7 years. The new woke, weird changes they’re making are so forced and it’s obviously not a good change. The cast members used to be polite and thoughtful. They are now impertinent and unattractive.
    We have recently ceased in our Disney trips and have moved on.
    It’s not the same place and the locals know it.
    I hope desantis whacks those weirdos back into shape.
    BTW…the new Star Wars films mirror disneys demise. Just atrocious and sad.

    Wrong. D is and has been getting owned by Disney. This lawsuit is easily proven and he will lose w/o a settlement. All Disney has to do is show all those press conferences where D says he'll make them pay and so forth.
    You should do what all those Bud Lite drinkers did and boycott if you hate it so much now. They will not miss you.

    You didn’t read my post. I have boycotted them. We have no interest in their parks any longer.
