Apparently liberals from outside the Sunshine State have not yet learned that when Gov. Ron DeSantis declares Florida a law-and-order state, he means it.
The latest example comes courtesy of a liberal from upstate New York who was recently busted in Florida for keying a pickup truck adorned with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker.
According to The Gateway Pundit, Richard Philip Brothers, 63, of Syracuse, New York, was outside a Winn-Dixie in Monroe County on March 24 when he decided to key a green Toyota Tundra in the parking lot.
Security cameras captured the incident. Two days laters, cops captured Brothers.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office report obtained by The Gateway Pundit noted that Brothers “knowingly and intentionally used a key to scrape the paint on the victim’s vehicle.”
Brothers, 62, “admitted he did this on purpose because he saw a ‘Let’s go Brandon’ bumper sticker on the victim’s vehicle and he did not like it. Richard’s actions require the truck to be repainted which will cost approximately $3,000 to $6,000,” the report stated.
The truck owner wanted to press charges.
“Stupid, stupid, stupid. … I should know better,” Brothers told a deputy as he was handcuffed and on his way to jail, according to bodycam footage.
“Hey man, it happens,” the deputy replied.

Brothers primarily lives in upstate New York but has a home in Summerland Key, which sits about 20 miles from Key West.
During the investigation, Brothers admitted the bumper sticker set him off.
“I guess it infuriated me,” he told deputies. When they asked for clarification, he responded, “Yeah, that’s the only reason I did it.”
Brothers’ alleged crime is a third-degree felony, punishable by a maximum of five years in person and a $5,000 fine.
During the ride to jail, the deputy asked if Brothers had event been arrested. He answered no.
“Well, you can kick it off the bucket list, at least,” the deputy said.
