Antifa, BLM tactic of blocking traffic to be a felony in Florida

PJ Media:
...
Prepare for wailing, but in the state of Florida, you will not be throwing projectiles at police officers if DeSantis gets his way. That will earn you six months in jail if you are convicted. Luckily, most of those hurling items at the police line are caught and identified because they or their friends film it.
In fact, he has proposed a series of penalties in the event a Peaceful Protest™ goes awry.
Are you thinking about blocking traffic? That will earn you a felony. The only goal of blocking streets is to inconvenience people and intimidate them. Videos online of people in their cars being harassed are plentiful. One Virginia mother called 911 and was told there was nothing the police could do while people were banging on her car and threatening her and her child because the event was sanctioned.
...
Likewise, if you take down monuments or destroy property during your tantrum, it will be a felony. The recent blurring of lines between protesting and property destruction is something that needs to become a bright demarcation again. Just like toddlers don’t get to break things when they are upset, neither do Peaceful Protestors™. There is no constitutional right to deface buildings, damage windows, or light things on fire. It is high time these miscreants learned the difference.
...
The same goes for harassing people while they are having a meal.  Other states should join Florida in dealing with these miscreants.
