"According to The Guardian, Tomes has a history of introducing draconian right-wing legislation, including bills that call for incarcerating transgender people for up to a year not using the bathroom associated with the gender on their birth certificate. Sue Ellen Braunlin, who is the co-president of the Indiana Religious Coalition for Reproductive Justice, called Tomes’ bill the “Block Traffic and You Die bill.”"
This guy is undoubtedly a fanatic and quite unhinged to suggest that any road obstruction composed of 10 or more people should be cleared "by any means necessary." However, as noted in the bold, he has quite a history of introducing right-wing legislation. Unfortunately for him, his track record of having his legislation pass
isn't very good. I'd suggest that, unless this passes the Indiana State Senate without being amended, nobody read too much into the actions of one lone state senator.
