Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “signed a bill on Friday that makes it legal for people to kill ‘crack bears’ in self-defense,” News Nation reported on Sunday, June 23, 2024 (read story here). The story continues,
“The bill was dubbed ‘the cocaine bear bill’ on social media after its sponsor said Floridians have the right to protect themselves against ‘the ones that are on crack.’
“’They break your door down and they’re standing in your living room growling and tearing your house apart,’ Rep. Jason Shoaf (R- Port St. Joe), who sponsored the House version of the bill, said while introducing legislation at a committee meeting. ‘When you run into one of these crack bears, you should be able to shoot it,’ Shoaf said. ‘Period.’”
I’ve heard of alligators ringing doorbells of Florida homes, but my question is, does that state have bears committing home invasions, or has somebody been watching too many movies?
