When you had the BLM riots and all that was happening in Minnesota and all that in 2020, yes, we didn't allow that in Florida, but I brought the legislature in and I said, okay, we need to make sure. And so We created legislation, anti-rioting legislation, prevents defunding of police by local governments. And anybody that riots loots, mob violence, they go directly to jail. We're not just putting them out on bail like in Houston. You're going to sit there and you're going to face consequences. (18:58–19:07)
