Americans should ‘take matters into [their] own hands,’ GOP lawmaker says
American Military News ^ | 4/16/24 | Timothy Frudd

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) urged Americans on Monday to take matters into their “own hands” by removing “pro-Hamas mobs” blocking traffic throughout the country.

In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, Cotton wrote, “I encourage people who get stuck behind the pro-Hamas mobs blocking traffic: take matters into your own hands to get them out of the way. It’s time to put an end to this nonsense.”

According to The Daily Wire, Cotton’s call to action came on Monday as pro-Palestinian protesters blocked multiple roads across the United States to protest against Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas terrorists. Despite Israel facing an attack of hundreds of missiles and drones launched by Iran and its allies over the weekend, pro-Palestinian protesters engaged in a “Coordinated Economic Blockade to Free Palestine” protest event throughout the day.

On Monday, Pro-Palestinian protesters created major traffic delays at the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago by blocking the road leading to the first three airport terminals.

And when those who take matters into their own hands are being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, he will be sitting in Washington with his head, stuck in the sand.

Can’t blame people if police don’t do their job. Vigilantism Is what follows when there is no law and order. You get frontier justice. Did these “protesters” have a permit? Do they give out permits to protest on bridges?

Turn these protests into mini Trump rallies. A couple of MAGA hats and/or a Trump 2024 flag will get the blue city cops to clear the street in a hurry....at the Mayor’s insistence.

No.

This is one of the things we PAY OUR GOVERNMENT to do!!!

Screw yourself, Cotton!

I WOULD agree with him, if it were -taking matters in our own hands - towards removing criminals from our government..
