Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) made headlines for suggesting Americans should “take matters into their own hands” in response to anti-Israel protests taking place across the country.
Specifically, he’s addressing the situation where pro-Palestinian protesters blocked traffic on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.
Cotton said in an interview with Fox News that if protesters were on a bridge in his hometown, things would have been handled slightly differently.
The senator expressed his heart Try it in a small town.
“If something like this happened on a bridge in Arkansas, there would be a lot of wet criminals being thrown overboard, not by law enforcement but by the people they were blocking the road from,” Cotton said.

Tom Cotton has some advice on how to deal with protesters
Senator Tom Cotton is right. These protesters have the audacity to block traffic and harass ordinary people because there will be no repercussions for their actions.
If law enforcement doesn’t do that, you know, enforce the lawand then people can do their own thing.
Cotton further elaborated on his thoughts in a post on the X social media platform.
“I encourage people who are caught in traffic jams with pro-Hamas thugs: take matters into your own hands and let them go,” he wrote.
“It’s time to end this nonsense.”
It must be.
The First Amendment allows “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” But these protests are inherently against the will of the people. This is harassment.

Offenders need to fear law enforcement, not obey it
One flaw in Tom Cotton’s plan is that the justice systems in leftist cities like San Francisco are corrupt from top to bottom.
Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny are two celebrities who are treated like real criminals by defending their own lives or the lives of others around them. .
Who would support such people if they decided to treat these protesters roughly?
Pro-Palestinian protesters aren’t just targeting ordinary Americans. They were visibly disturbed when they chased Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) outside a movie theater last month.

Days earlier, a group of protesters stormed the cafeteria inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Some protest participants could be heard chanting “If Gaza doesn’t eat, the Senate can’t eat!”
