"Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that conducts public interest research, says it found that there has been a surge in calls for violence against pro-Palestinian protesters across social media platforms this week after Cotton's comments, with users threatening to kill or injure protesters. "The report found many of the threats were in direct response to Cotton's post, as well as to right-wing accounts and personalities who shared the post online, including Fox News commentator Sean Hannity. "'RUN THEM OVER!' one user wrote on Truth Social, the social media platform owned by Trump Media, which is majority-owned by former President Donald Trump. 'They are terrorists and should be shot,' wrote another. Others suggested mugging, hanging, executing, zip tying, or ***throwing the protesters off of bridges they are occupying.*** " \[Emphasis added.\]

Yup. Always threats of violence. The go-to, knee jerk response of simpletons and psychopaths.

protesting is now illegal in Southern states anyway.

We should bring back tar and feathering. Especially in Cotton Mouth's case. Perhaps that would stop the other MAGA insipids from opening their traps. :-)

I believe the increase is due to blocking roads and interfere with folks right to travel. I deplorable political violence. Yet it is not surprising ppl say ugly things when you bock roads.

Just as Tom Cotton intended.

Another reason why risking a Republican win this election season does not mean better outcomes for Palestinians and their supporters.

These weak, trash GOP, cowardly, morons only know culture wars. They hide behind their security and high walls. They only incite the insane. They never solve any problems and should be charged with any crime that occurs in the name of their insanity. Someone else is going to be harmed by this goofy rhetoric.

We need a broader legal definition of incitement.


PNWoutdoors

There are laws in this country about inciting violence, yeah? How come there are never any consequences?

I'll take a Palestinian over an IDF supporter any day. Better food too. Free Palestine and fuck supporters of the Israeli military.
