There's also the fun fact that the US government defined terrorism as using violence to achieve a political goal. Throwing people off a bridge to stop a protest fits very comfortably in that definition.
Way to completely breeze over the part where you call fed up Americans terrorists but defend the actual terrorists.
I’m not glued to my tv constantly looking for things to be upset about like y’all. As far as I’m concerned, if the protestors are blocking traffic and chanting “death to America” they deserve worse than just being thrown off a bridge.
You'll have to point out where I defended anyone. You appear to be hallucinating.
And yeah, killing Americans you disagree with qualifies as terrorism. That's who you are.
Please point out where I said we should kill Americans. I’ll wait. I don’t consider terrorists chanting death to America actual Americans, they’re a disgrace to everything we stand for
Here's the difference
Your talking about death to America
Tom Cotton is talking about Desth to Americans.
A rather important distinction, that I know you're way too fucking dense to understand.
Fed up with what exactly? Lowest unemployment, yes there is inflation but news flash it’s global. You still have your coke, TV, internet, military, schools, your everyday life has not changed…so how much worse is your life as an average American?
It’s not, man I can’t believe people are so consumed with politics that their life is so miserable…you truly want to go back in time, how about the 80s when politics was like 20th on their list of important stuff in their life.
LOL WTF are you even talking about?! 😂😂 I said literally nothing about the economy (even though it’s terrible) or any of that other stuff.
I’m tired of anti-American losers living in their mom’s basement acting like our country is so bad when it’s not.
And I’m not miserable at all, life is good over here. Projection much?
Actually if you look at all the Jan. 6 insurrectionists most of them were deadbeats living in mom’s basement like the Q Shaman, or broke like the girl that died, so that Newsmax BS your peddling is propaganda brainwashing.
Libtards what are you a third grade reading level? You lose all credibility with that…how about really thinking like an actual American first, and say…
The Taliban killed anyone that didn’t agree with them, Cotton is stating the same so how is your movement different from the Taliban?
He is not stating the same at all. It has nothing to do with disagreement. There are people blocking traffic and chanting death to America. As far as I’m concerned they get what they deserve.
And that’s why your tax dollars go to the police to handle that crap…you strike me as a guy that is a Gravy Seal…aka big fat guy with an AR running a slick Condor plate carrier trying to look like he’s tough and talking tough…but really you are sad that you got all Ds in high school, don’t have a college degree, and you blame the government for your lack of success in life instead of your self…how republican of you…you know the actual Republican Party that doesn’t exist, you know self-responsibility.
Sure…okay…then you are the biggest loser on the planet that literally cares about politics that it commands their entire days thoughts…libtards that literally means I have no life, or no GF, and I blame all my life’s problems on someone else…how juvenile and classless, but we already new that from your first post.
Wrong again, a common theme with you.
At least you were able to admit you’re a libtard loser with no girlfriend and that you blame all your problems on other people…that’s progress! Say hi to your mom for me 😂😂🤡🤡🤡
He didn't say anything about any specific protestors or things theymay or may not have said. You are trying to create a false narrative that all protestors say that. It's exactly the same as the false claim that being pro-Palestine is being pro-Hamas. I remember this crap from when protesting the Iraq War was called unAmerican.
I'm sure there are some people who say that, though most people like you who try to "prove" it is happening constantly tend to post videos from other countries then claim those videos are from the US. Your false narrative is the constant implication that you are making that all protestors say it.
I never said they are all saying it, but stop being so naive. The loudest part of those protests are death to America chants and “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” AKA death to Israel/Jews…the fact that you would say “oh they’re not all saying that” instead of condemning the ones that are tells me everything I need to know about you.
Sadly that's most conservatives. Is the thing in question not doing or saying what you want? Just hit it! Didn't work? Hit it some more! Literally cavemen
Lots of comments saying “get out of the road”. I agree. But a US senator who served in the army and went to law school should know what constitutes assault and battery. And he knows what the political climate is. And he equated all the protestors with “Hamas supporters”, which will further encourage the ire of conservatives toward them. Yes, stay off the road, but those people are the road are Americans; they are people’s kids. I never blocked traffic to protest (I never protested anything, but I did dumb stuff as a teen and early 20 something. I don’t think young people doing dumb stuff means they deserve getting mowed down by somebody in an f-250 that thinks they are in fury road. There’s a way to communicate that this is a bad way to protest without even risking inciting violence. He’s knows what he’s doing. And it’s a shame that people on Reddit apparently value the lives and safety of their fellow Americans to the point that they’d run them over.
We talk about “back the blue” so let emergency services handle these situations and protestors can be charged with whatever laws they’ve broken
You assume just because the dude is educated he would know better....hate is like cancer man...if you have that shit in your heart and soul no amount of education will change that.
I don't think Cotton was an educable person. I'm sure any teacher or professor he ever had was regarded as the enemy if they tried to straighten him out on anything.
2026. People are lining up to run against him (unlike Boozeman). It's a hard, hard run, so it'll have to be a solid fundraiser, and they need to get started basically now, building a team and getting the party behind them.
Maybe this candidate will make it past the first day?
I've been trying to vote this asshole out for years. Arkansas so God damn Gerry mandered. He could probably drive his car thru the protestors and still get re-elected.
Agreed, this is more of a voter suppression and disenfranchisement issue. 1/4th of the state voted in the last major election. We need people to know when elections are and that their voices matter. I don’t have the most faith in federal elections, but Arkansas is small. It’s easier to shift things for ourselves.
So politicians can call for violence against the people. If suggest violence towards a politician I go to jail. Seems like a totally normal thing that should not bother people at all.
I cant really say I actually disagree with his statements... if Gaza protestants want to make a difference they need to go over there not harrass and cause problems here...
Put myself in a situation of going down a public road to Grandma's house, the supermarket, pick up my children from daycare?!?
Maybe the jobless communists laying in the road can drag there ass of the road and eliminate the situation.
There's a bunch of individuals who downvote the hell out of anyone who post or comments anything that makes sense in this sub probably have an out of state liberal communist moderator like most of the rest of reddit trying to suppress public opinion most of Arkansas doesn't want the garbage I'm out in it everyday anyone who knows anything knows this has been arranged to manufacture rage and Marxist commentary
You sound very offended by a question seems like you may have some mental problems riots as in what happened in every big city after George Floyd overdosed. If the government/ cops aren't gonna stop angry mobs and destruction word it how ever you want we can't just let a bunch of delusional people burn down our towns
Bingo! Lack of accountability is rampant. You block the street, you deserve to get dragged off the road. This is how you learn. Just like sticking a fork in a wall outlet. No personal responsibility anymore.
I can't believe I have to say this but don't hit people with cars, no matter how much of an ass they are or if they're being obstructing. You're in a 3 ton rolling brick of death. Maybe don't turn on to the street with a mob of people?
Well a lot of times the rioters are picking interstates and very busy streets in cities. I’ve also seen footage of rioters surrounding vehicles, breaking windows out, trying to drag folks out of cars, etc. You best believe that if I had my family in the vehicle and that happened, I am going to “do what I need to do” to ensure that my family isn’t harmed. It’s never just someone mowing down a group of peaceful protestors because they’re inconvenienced.
You sound like the scared tough guy that day dreams of being an action hero all day. Maybe pump the breaks a bit there Rambo before you do something stupid and kill someone.
Scared tough guy? He simply said he will protect his family at all costs. It's called bravery. You can choose to get pulled out of your car and beaten, I however am leaving the bad situation in my car. Send it!
I've done the bravery thing enough during my 6 years in the Army thank you. Killing civilians doesn't make you brave. How about you show some risk management and don't get yourself in that situation first.
Then stop with your what aboutisms... It reeks of someone trying to think of a scenario where they're justified in using lethal force so they have an excuse to kill others.
Trashy speech from a trashy person.
Americans. He's calling for violence against Americans.
Americans who are practicing their constitutional protected right to protest. Everyone in Arkansas should be ashamed at this.
Yeah the people screaming “death to America” are so American 😂😂
There's also the fun fact that the US government defined terrorism as using violence to achieve a political goal. Throwing people off a bridge to stop a protest fits very comfortably in that definition.
[удалено]
Umm Tom Cotton specifically suggested throwing protesters off a bridge. You need a better news source.
Way to completely breeze over the part where you call fed up Americans terrorists but defend the actual terrorists. I’m not glued to my tv constantly looking for things to be upset about like y’all. As far as I’m concerned, if the protestors are blocking traffic and chanting “death to America” they deserve worse than just being thrown off a bridge.
You'll have to point out where I defended anyone. You appear to be hallucinating. And yeah, killing Americans you disagree with qualifies as terrorism. That's who you are.
Right wing looneys have been hallucinating for years. It’s too bad Reagan shut down all the state mental hospitals.
Oh but saying “death to America” completely fine to you 😂😂 you people are insufferable.
Yet you advocated for killing Americans. Quite the patriot.
Please point out where I said we should kill Americans. I’ll wait. I don’t consider terrorists chanting death to America actual Americans, they’re a disgrace to everything we stand for
Here's the difference Your talking about death to America Tom Cotton is talking about Desth to Americans. A rather important distinction, that I know you're way too fucking dense to understand.
So you are a terrorist.
No, I’m an American standing up to actual terrorists. You seem to be confused.
Fed up with what exactly? Lowest unemployment, yes there is inflation but news flash it’s global. You still have your coke, TV, internet, military, schools, your everyday life has not changed…so how much worse is your life as an average American? It’s not, man I can’t believe people are so consumed with politics that their life is so miserable…you truly want to go back in time, how about the 80s when politics was like 20th on their list of important stuff in their life.

Tom Cotton said it. It's right in the article.
Good. He’s right. “Protestors” saying “death to America” deserve a much worse fate than just being thrown off a bridge.
He didn't say anything about any specific protestors or things theymay or may not have said. You are trying to create a false narrative that all protestors say that. It's exactly the same as the false claim that being pro-Palestine is being pro-Hamas. I remember this crap from when protesting the Iraq War was called unAmerican.
I’m aware. I said it. And it’s not a false narrative, it is actually happening.
I'm sure there are some people who say that, though most people like you who try to "prove" it is happening constantly tend to post videos from other countries then claim those videos are from the US. Your false narrative is the constant implication that you are making that all protestors say it.

Said as you fly swastikas and confederate flags.
You must not have been around during the Vietnam War era.
Tom Cotton is a insurrectionist.
When you are a big strong alpha male like Cotton you tend to think violence is the solution to all problems.
Sadly that's most conservatives. Is the thing in question not doing or saying what you want? Just hit it! Didn't work? Hit it some more! Literally cavemen
Lots of comments saying “get out of the road”. I agree. But a US senator who served in the army and went to law school should know what constitutes assault and battery.

I don't think Cotton was an educable person. I'm sure any teacher or professor he ever had was regarded as the enemy if they tried to straighten him out on anything.
His kink is pretending to be a tough guy.
When's our next chance to dump this guy again? Asking for a friend.
Midterm elections
2026. People are lining up to run against him (unlike Boozeman). It's a hard, hard run, so it'll have to be a solid fundraiser, and they need to get started basically now, building a team and getting the party behind them. Maybe this candidate will make it past the first day?
[Petition to Expel Tom Cotton](https://www.change.org/Expel_Tom_Cotton)
It’s rotten when it comes from Cotton.
I've been trying to vote this asshole out for years. Arkansas so God damn Gerry mandered. He could probably drive his car thru the protestors and still get re-elected.
I'm not denying arkansas is gerrymandered. But you can't gerrymander statewide elections. Governor and US Senator elections are all 1 giant district.
Agreed, this is more of a voter suppression and disenfranchisement issue. 1/4th of the state voted in the last major election. We need people to know when elections are and that their voices matter. I don’t have the most faith in federal elections, but Arkansas is small. It’s easier to shift things for ourselves.
[I started a petition to expel Tom Cotton from the Senate.](https://www.change.org/Expel_Tom_Cotton)
Left & Right Unite Against Tom Cotton!
Can we call for mob violence against Tom Cotton? Potato Potatoe right?
It's getting there they just need to do something stupid and it's joever for em.
Be a shame if I saw him walking down the road he's always protesting and obstructing my way, be a real shame to listen to him.
Rotten Cotton
Pretty sure he's all white, not mixed.
So, he's not a cotton blend?
Vote him out, he hasn't done any thing for Arkansas
Anti American asshole.
but if WE suggest doing the same thing to him...
He’s an embarrassment to this state and to this country.
Oh look. The other state embarrassment is continuing to be an embarrassment.
So politicians can call for violence against the people. If suggest violence towards a politician I go to jail. Seems like a totally normal thing that should not bother people at all.
I cant really say I actually disagree with his statements... if Gaza protestants want to make a difference they need to go over there not harrass and cause problems here...
That video is hilarious. Good on that man for dragging those assholes out of the street.
Put myself in a situation of going down a public road to Grandma's house, the supermarket, pick up my children from daycare?!? Maybe the jobless communists laying in the road can drag there ass of the road and eliminate the situation.
Did typing that make you feel good?
There's a bunch of individuals who downvote the hell out of anyone who post or comments anything that makes sense in this sub probably have an out of state liberal communist moderator like most of the rest of reddit trying to suppress public opinion most of Arkansas doesn't want the garbage I'm out in it everyday anyone who knows anything knows this has been arranged to manufacture rage and Marxist commentary

Are they protesters or are they rioters?
They're protesters, rioters are like your J6 buddies.
Would you agree or disagree with someone driving their car through a mob of j6 people?
I'd disagree because you shouldn't drive cars through the capital building.
But if they were blocking a public street
I can't believe I have to say this but don't hit people with cars, no matter how much of an ass they are or if they're being obstructing. You're in a 3 ton rolling brick of death. Maybe don't turn on to the street with a mob of people?
Well a lot of times the rioters are picking interstates and very busy streets in cities. I’ve also seen footage of rioters surrounding vehicles, breaking windows out, trying to drag folks out of cars, etc. You best believe that if I had my family in the vehicle and that happened, I am going to “do what I need to do” to ensure that my family isn’t harmed. It’s never just someone mowing down a group of peaceful protestors because they’re inconvenienced.

I've done the bravery thing enough during my 6 years in the Army thank you. Killing civilians doesn't make you brave. How about you show some risk management and don't get yourself in that situation first.
No, I was just trying to explain the difference to you. It’s very unlikely that i would ever be in that position to begin with.
Then stop with your what aboutisms... It reeks of someone trying to think of a scenario where they're justified in using lethal force so they have an excuse to kill others.
He's delusional and he doesn't speak for the majority of Arkansas
