Florida Governor DeSantis Silent on Violence After He Removed Regulation of Concealed Guns

Many people have been reporting how a Meatball DeSandwich (bizarrely elected to be Governor of Florida) single-handedly rolled back protections against gun violence.

For example on the 3rd of April 2023 he signed a bill that eliminated permit requirements for carrying concealed weapons. The Meatball says it “goes into effect” officially in July, whatever that means when he already has been arguing that it’s “Constitutional” and therefore went into effect centuries ago.

…the governor has boosted the law, releasing a statement that read “Constitutional Carry is in the books” after he signed it into law.

Books. Haha, get it? Books, in Florida? Everyone knows Florida bans books. They don’t write or read. Who needs to learn that stuff when you can just get a gun and tell others to learn stuff and do all your hard work or you’ll kill them? Hmm, that sure sounds a lot like slavery… but I digress.

Speaking of books, Florida bans local governments from writing gun ordinances. Florida likes preventing safety, especially local safety, if you see what they mean.

Despite recent mass shootings and rising gun violence across the country, DeSantis signed a law in April to further relax firearm regulations in Florida.

Sounds a lot like DeSandwich looked at a gun violence problem and asked how it could be “boosted” most quickly.

Responding to DeSantis’ announcement on Twitter [boosting gun violence], US Rep. Charlie Crist, also running for governor as a Democrat, said, “The last thing Florida needs during a gun violence epidemic is a governor who wants dangerous people carrying guns on the street without so much as a background check.”

If you’re carrying concealed weapons today without a permit in Florida then you are just in alignment with the Meatball by “future proofing” violent “Constitutional” acts that he has been boosting?

Did I get that right?

Giffords Law Center suggests people in Florida no longer have to receive a mandatory background check or take a training course to carry a concealed weapon in public.

So no permit, no background check, no training course?

FOR GUNS?

Kids with guns, lots of guns, shooting at each other in schools that have no books?

Calling himself a “big Second Amendment guy,” he also backed allowing firearms on college campuses.

What a Meatball, not a guy, no?

Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens…

Apparently the Meatball has plans for kids even to start carrying guns in the open so that wherever they have any kind of minor dispute it can turn into instant mass casualties and death.

Sounds like just the kind of thing the tourist industry of Florida needs to go out of business.

“Come to Hollywood Beach,” one 911 caller is heard saying. “Please, on the beach. They are shooting out here.” The caller told the dispatcher that someone near him on the beach was “hit.” Another caller reported hearing rapid gunshots and running into a nearby hotel, where she said people were taking cover against a wall. She described hearing three rapid shots, a pause, then two more gunshots, according to the recording.

I can see now all the new Florida advertisements… colorful (bloody) popups for those who search online for hottest airline destinations:

Come to Hollywood Beach. Please, on the beach. They are shooting out here.

If you’re Russian into a hot war zone for holiday… that’s Florida!

The more guns, the more deadly violence with guns.

The indisputable fact is that where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths.

And when restrictions on guns are lowered, there is a rise in crime.

…thousands of guns purchased in 2020 were almost immediately used in crimes — some as soon as a day after their sale.

It’s a pretty easy formula. Apparently getting “boosted” in Florida politics means simply more guns, more crimes, more deaths.

Presidential stuff right there. Meatball campaign slogan?

America is a gun.

To make a finer point, the Meatball has been for months vocally pushing for concealed guns. Now he’s gone completely silent on the topic for days despite a new mass shooting using concealed guns.

There must be some fascinating backroom political posturing and risk analysis going on in Florida right now.

Most Americans say curbing gun violence is more important than gun rights

Of course they say that, but what are they going to do about the lawful evil Meatball with arms impersonating a politician?

Veered Tesla Crash on CA Highway 1 Kills Two

I know Bean Hollow Road on Highway 1 very well. I’ve been there countless times, even on the motorcycle.

A terrible crash was reported Tuesday evening. A southbound 2022 Tesla collided at 6:39PM head-on into northbound traffic, spinning itself and another vehicle out of control down an east-side embankment into a lagoon.

The Tesla was traveling so fast it became completely submerged under 4 feet of water into thick mud.

Here you can see the Tesla was recovered near the middle area of the lagoon, after rolling down the embankment just before a blind curve to the right (note large hill to the left, which obscures the approaching curve when southbound).

CHP claim they are unable yet to place blame on who “veered” over the double-yellow line, straight into opposing traffic, despite nearly a decade of Tesla crashes that have similar indicators as this one.

“At this point,” he said, “we don’t know exactly what caused it, or which vehicle first crossed over the yellow line.”

Ok, but as a northbound car was smashed far east into that lagoon, it seems safe to start with an assumption a southbound car drifted across the lines and hit at high speed before it too went eastward into the lagoon.

Here’s the view of the front left side of the Tesla and totally compromised cage, giving a sense of the impact force under a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Looks more like 70 mph and rolling end over end.

The catastrophic level of damage and huge distance the Tesla flew from the road into deep mud suggests high speed approaching a blind right curve, which should be easy for investigators to determine. It may be the Tesla didn’t see/make the slight curve and ended up in the other lane as a northbound car suddenly came around the hill.

Given 2022 Tesla tend to be less safe than earlier models, it will be interesting to find out whether dangerous “crap” engineering was responsible. Is it yet another camera blindness case, driving straight instead of turning? Or maybe Tesla driver was hands on wheel looking backwards at the lovely Bean Hollow beach while steering too far left.

It just seems rather implausible for a northbound car to oversteer its mass west over the double yellow yet send both cars flying so far to the east. Also it proves, yet again, that Tesla’s many fraudulent claims about “collision avoidance” to juice investments since 2016 have always been a fraud.

There have been crashes in this spot before, yet never with this level of damage. Why did the driver in the other car die? Likely speed. Tesla is unique in increasing harms on roads because its CEO shamelessly pushes owners to ignore even Tesla’s own warnings about safe operation of a vehicle, while giving them a far more dangerous high-speed vehicle.

It would be better if Tesla either stopped warning it’s drivers about danger, or if it’s CEO stopped overpromising false safety, because the combination of the two is the worst possible situation.

In other words, if it was just a CEO lying about safety people would likely become skeptical. Or if it was just a carbrand warning about dangers, people would likely be mindful. Instead, the “authoritative” lies next to generic warnings negate important mindfulness, a sad social engineering trick that a CEO has been abusing to get more drivers… killed.

With this crash the Tesla death toll is likely to rise over 400, with over 50 people killed just in the first half of 2023.

When does it become mass murder?

Veered MI Tesla: Autopilot Accused of Trying to Kill Its Owner

A new police report has language much closer to what should have been reported in every Tesla crash since 2016.

The owner of the car says it tried to kill her.

As soon as she enabled her badly misnamed Autopilot, or perhaps after she turned on the badly misnamed FSD (at this point just call it crap), she alleges it veered across lines and flipped itself into a tree.

…in the hospital Saturday night after she put her Tesla into self-driving mode and the car veered off the roadway, hit a tree and rolled several times, deputies said.

Note that is law enforcement making a statement that a car was “self-driving” when it “veered” suddenly. It only adds to the several warnings I’ve written recently given multiple similar “veered” crashes.

Here’s another detailed version of this new crash report:

At 6:41 p.m. Sunday, the driver was traveling westbound on McKinley Road and placed the Tesla she was driving into self-driving mode. Once selected, the vehicle pulled to the right, went off the road causing it to roll several times and hit a tree, according to Mecosta County deputies.

Again, it’s not being reported in the local news as “the driver said” or alleged, but rather as a preliminary statement of fact by responders: “Once selected…[that crap] went off the road…” on an empty rural two-lane paved road with clear markings near “135th Ave” (a tiny dirt lane).

It’s actually noteworthy the car’s algorithm managed to ignore bright lines and find a tree to hit in a mostly empty area.

What was Colfax County, Michigan weather at the time of crash? Sunday May 28 was dry (0.00 precipitation for 7 days prior), clear and sunny reaching high of 87F (low 43F). She was traveling westbound, with sunset over two hours later at 9:20PM.

There seems to be a worsening effect with Tesla safety (more danger in newer models), related to subpar engineering management practices, rushed production and zero regard for human safety. In one very recent example the Tesla was destroyed and owner dead within the first 600 miles of “driverless” being used.

Model Year: 2023
Mileage: 590
Date: March 2023
Time: 05:15 (10:15 PM local time)

For what it’s worth, I worked with security researchers on safety tests back in 2016 that proved Tesla could veer suddenly off the road and crash (that was the last time I have ridden in one). I have never stopped warning about it since then, including a keynote talk at a security conference.

My predictions of more death due to more Tesla being on the road has been painfully accurate, even though in the summer of 2016 it was considered scandalous to even dare to suggest such a thing.

Talk about an early warning of AI dangers, unfortunately people still bought into the fraud… and now hundreds are dead (over 30 confirmed fault of AI). What’s new? Given what I’m seeing in 2023 police reports, ongoing Tesla design failures coupled with their business problems means safety will likely continue to decline through this year.

Consider please, despite all the hype and bombast about becoming the safest car on the road by charging its customers huge fees for “full self driving”, in 2023 we still read about a wrong-way veered Tesla:

CHP does not know what caused the Tesla to drive in the wrong direction… the Tesla was engulfed in flames. Two passengers inside the Tesla and the driver of the Acura were all pronounced dead at the scene.

Just like in 2013 (a decade ago) we used to read about a wrong-way veered Tesla:

Investigators said the Tesla was leaving Laguna Beach and veered into oncoming traffic… Two adult men inside a “severely damaged” Honda Accord were declared dead at the scene, officials said.

What a veered car.
