Two more Neo-Nazi demonstrators who are accused of hanging antisemitic banners over I-4 in Orlando were arrested, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Wednesday.

Ronald Murray, 41, and Amanda Rains, 36, were arrested along with two others after the group hung antisemitic hate banners along the Darryl Carter Parkway Bridge in Orlando, the FDLE said.

The arrests come after Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 269 earlier this year prohibiting individuals from displaying or projecting images onto a building, structure, or property without permission.

    Honestly given everything I’ve heard about Florida and the character of the current governor I am surprised it’s illegal.

      It ws probably targeting liberal protesters, so this may be a Leopards Ate My Face situation.

      Oh yeah the hate speech is legal, it’s just the hanging of the sign on public property that isn’t.

      In America being a Nazi, or anti-semitic IS legal. However excercising your free speech in any way you want, wherever you want, isn’t legal unconditionally in any state, not just your ignorant Florida stereotype.
