enforcement officer. In addition, Floridians are now allowed to take legal action against municipalities, police forces, and even politicians for failing to take requisite action to stop a riot. According to the bill, a riot is defined as “violent public disturbance involving 3 or more people acting with common intent resulting in injury to others, damage to property, or the imminent danger of injury or damage.” The bill also created a new second-degree felony defined as “aggravated riot” occurring when disturbances “include 25 participants, causes great bodily harm or more than $5,000 in property damage, uses or threatens to use a deadly weapon, or blocks roadways by force or threat of force.” DeSantis hailed the bill’s passage as something that will grant Floridians the ability to protect themselves after almost a year of rioting across the United States. In a press conference on Monday, DeSantis called the bill “the strongest, anti-rioting, prolaw enforcement piece of legislation in the country.” “We’re also putting an end to the bullying and intimidation tactics of the radical left by criminalizing doxing and requiring restitution for damaging memorials and monuments by rioters,” he added. The legislation comes after George Floyd’s death at the hands of former police officer Derek Chauvin last summer touched off a wave of nationwide rioting that resulted in more than $2 billion in damages. A series of additional riots soon followed in cities such as Rochester, Kenosha, and Philadelphia. Often, elected officials ordered law enforcement to stand down and prevented officers from more effectively ending the riots.
Walking Here and Bear A teddy bear is on a quest to walk more than 400 miles from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Jesse Larios is 33 years old. When he dons the life-size teddy bear costume, he uses the moniker “Bearsun.” His journey was not in-
tentional; it was just something that Larios decided to do.
“I’m like a puppy, I guess. I just see something, and I chase after it,” Larios said. He said the walk sounded like a fun adventure. But his journey has not just been barrels of honey. Last week, he was approached by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “This was a bear-y unique situation. You may have seen a large teddy bear walking through town. One of our deputies got to meet the individual inside the bear & learned his goal is to complete a walk from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We wish him the best of luck on his adventure,” the sheriff’s office tweeted. Larios said the deputy only wanted to make sure he was safe and hydrated. Other obstacles, such as road closures and unexpectedly difficult terrain, have caused delays that pushed his expected arrival date in San Francisco back from April 17 to April 21. When Larios needs to rest for the night, he camps out on the side of the road. His GoFundMe page is set up so supporters can help him with food and other costs. And, if there’s extra money at the end, the funds will go towards an upgraded Bearsun suit. The costume is there for Larios to spread joy. “This is what I want to do. I just want to run marathons in my bear suit,” he said. “It makes other people happy, too, and I’m all about laughter and smiles.” Bear-y nice.
