Civil Rights Discrimination Guidance

Summary

In Florida, the Florida Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protect against discrimination for people with disabilities. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations, public places must be accessible, and housing discrimination is prohibited. If you face discrimination, file a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) and the Department of Justice. For assault incidents, report to the Deerfield Beach Police and consider filing a complaint with Internal Affairs if the response is inadequate. If unsatisfied with legal representation, request a new public defender or consult a private attorney.

So at the same time he gets into his car I continue walking he is now intentionally pushing me with his car this is assault with a deadly weapon so I did the only thing I could think of doing was I ripped off his windshield wiper that made him stop very upset.... ..BTW in Florida they have a law stand your ground if I had a gun I could have shot him please note I do not believe in guns I think it's a stupid law but that is the law in Florida if you feel your life is a danger you can kill somebody it's a stupid law but that is the b
