Leftists Attack Sen. Tom Cotton for Calling for Self-Defense Against Leftist Violence
Front Page Magazine ^ | April 17, 2024 | Daniel Greenfield

When terror supporters attack , the Left calls it speech, but when people fight back, it's suddenly violence.

When terror supporters attack you, the Left calls it speech, but when Sen. Tom Cotton suggests fighting back, the Left calls it violence.

Once again leftists took to the streets in a coordinated campaign in support of Hamas and Iran, blocking roads, burning American flags, and endorsing the murder of Americans and Jews.

Beyond their political views, the Hamas supporters blocked traffic, forcibly stranding motorists, and preventing school buses and ambulances from moving forward. Similar assaults on public roadways have endangered the lives of patients before.

Under leftist jurisprudence, pro-life activists can be arrested for standing in front of abortion clinics, but the ‘Death to America’ crowd can stop traffic on bridges and highways with no recourse.

But that’s because Democrat one-party cities have refused to enforce the law against their political allies.

Now, Sen. Tom Cotton is under attack for tweeting, “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 same media outlets which claimed that the Black Lives Matter race riots which devastated entire cities and killed people were “mostly peaceful”, Sen. Cotton is “inciting violence.”

Someone blocking you in a public place and trapping you while you’re unable to move is engaged in violence. Removing them from your path is simple self-defense. People have the right to protest, but they don’t have the right to stop other people from moving through public places. The right to protest ends when it engages in coercion against other people.

The media claims that supporters of killing Americans and Jews are engaged in “peaceful protest” while drivers hauling them out of their cars so they can get to work or get a patient to the hospital are violent.

That’s an inversion of what violence and peaceful behavior is. Kidnapping is not peaceful.

The solution to lawlessness is either law or more lawlessness. Democrats have chosen to bow to the terror mob and thus law has been abandoned. Some drivers have reacted by forcibly removing the men and women who love “Death to America” so much that they want to trap them on the roads.

When Dem politicians refuse to enforce the law, they may leave desperate people with no choice but to defend themselves against the terror mobs.

The terror supporters chant, “When Palestine is occupied, resistance is justified.” If so, when the Golden Gate Bridge is occupied, isn’t resistance justified?

Here’s some actual resistance to leftist domestic terrorists.

The early West used to have ad hoc "Committees of Vigilance".

But nobody stops to consider what such a law change would do to, say, truckers or farmers protesting by stopping their tractors, etc. Think Canada.

So, what happened on March 7th in 1977? Or was it 1877.

Seems the “Civil War movie is about Progressive Leftists who hate our democracy and civil rights. If there is a civil war, it will be started by progressive leftists who will try to overthrow the elected government.

1877, but apparently nobody has a definitive explanation of the number.

Be careful out there....

The people who are stranded have two options...

1.) Continue to bend over and take it up the backside.

2.) Put their vehicle in gear and stomp on the gas.

Going with option number 2 might also mean that you willl have your car filmed by phone cameras, have your license plate sent in to the police, and you might get a visit from the cops at your house to arrest you. No doubt the leftists will also have some high-profile bleeding heart leftist lawyer to argue in court that you were trying to murder people. And have you sent away for a long, long time.

Sad, but unfortunately likely.

Loading and then locking seems to make more sense, but History...
