Former Colorado Avalanche defense attorney Colby Cohen assaulted pro-Palestinian protesters who were chanting chants outside a New York City cancer hospital on Monday.
X's video showed protesters marching in front of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which also houses a pediatric day hospital. Protest leaders claimed that Palestine was being subjected to genocide and called the cancer hospital a “complicit facility.”

“Make sure they can hear you, they're at the window,” the woman said over the loudspeaker.
Mr. Cohen responded to the protesters with a scorched earth post on X.
“If you're wondering what the trash on the planet looks like, it's the people harassing and yelling at children receiving cancer treatment at Sloan Kettering,” he wrote. “It is difficult to imagine that any adult would condone or support such behavior.”

“For 100 days, they lived in fear for their lives, not knowing what tomorrow would bring. For 100 days, families lived in pain and prayed for the safe return of their loved ones. Day after day, hostages and their families have been on my front lines as a national security team, working tirelessly to secure their freedom,” Biden said.
