The road blockades by anti-Israel activists being done to paralyze traffic in major cities are incredibly dangerous, they are acts of terrorism that law enforcement (except in Florida) are ignoring. They block emergency vehicle routes and pathways for people in need of medical care.
It’s not just “disrupting” life, it’s threatening life. The bridge is closed to emergency vehicles and people in need. This is straight up terrorism, and should be treated as such, it’s not protest. https://t.co/5WJplT98l2

Senator Tom Cotton tweeted that people need to take removing the blockades into their own hands.
“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.”

He’s not backing down despite considerable blowback.
How it should be done:

The problem, of course, that given our politically corrupt justice system which favors the political viewpoint of the blockaders, the public taking things into their own hands and not the terrorists are likely to be charged.
When someone takes your advice in a blue state and gets arrested and charged with felony crimes, will you pay for their legal defense?
You are a senator. Use your power as one to pressure states and localities to fix their policies.

Are you going to protect them if they get arrested? pic.twitter.com/atnQ5d28nM

The real answer, of course, is for law enforcement and judges to do their jobs. Arrest them, charge them, and don’t release them except on substantial bail with conduct conditions.
That’s not going to happen in any blue state, just like it never happened with the BLM riots in 2020.
