Gov. DeSantis ‘anti-riot’ plan does more than crack down on mob violence. Here’s what it would change.

Mob intimidation: The legislation creates a new statute that would make it a misdemeanor offense “for a person, assembled with two or more other persons and acting with a common intent, to compel or induce, or attempt to compel or induce, another person by force, or threat of force, to do any act or to assume or abandon a particular viewpoint.” Gross called this provision “overly broad and incomprehensible,” as it does not define what would constitute force or threat of force.
