Barry.Randolphe Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 driving through DC today, there were cops and big salt trucks sitting near exits on the freeway all over the place. I'm not sure the purpose of the police having salt trucks besides blocking trying to block an exit ramp or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Convoy picks up cars and anti-Ukraine talking points ahead of Washington arrival The American offshoot of the “Freedom Convoy” that brought chaos to Canada’s capital is promising to stop traffic outside of Washington, D.C., on Saturday, but exact plans remained vague Friday as the group hit its last pit stop in Maryland. The convoy, which was organized on pro-Trump and anti-vaccine channels on the Telegram messaging app, has picked up hundreds of cars and several trucks since the group left a rural parking lot in Adelanto, California, on Feb. 22. According to extremism researchers following the movement, the convoy now consists of several dozen tractor-trailer trucks and hundreds of cars. The group is staging in Hagerstown, Maryland, on Friday and ramping up for its final protest somewhere in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Livestreamers from within the convoy have repeatedly referred to “blocking the Beltway,” the 64-mile highway that surrounds Washington, but specific plans have been kept secret by group leaders. One organizer, Dan Fitzegerald, who has been livestreaming his journey in the convoy on YouTube, said on a Friday morning stream: “I can tell you now that there will be select trucks going to the White House.” The convoy was initially formed to protest mask and vaccine mandates, which have largely been repealed as the omicron variant dwindled over the past several weeks.

Captain Wiggles Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The Trump supporting QAnon convoy wants "accountability". 🤣 Weird considering they never wanna hold Trump or anyone around him accountable. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCommiesGo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I got a COOP message last night about delays in the district because of this. I hope DC doesn’t coddle these dummies like Canada did. I want these people to understand the efficiency of a DC towing company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also that many of the cars will have a mob guarding them. And I feel obligated to point out. I believe that people engaging in protests have the right to be annoying, and to violate minor laws, as a way of protesting.

Yea this will be an interesting test of the convictions of those that support other protests. If this same thing were being done to protest the murder of George Floyd, what your response be the same? I don’t support what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The trucker “protests” are white power, neo-confederate insurrection parties. So, comparing them to righteous BLM/civil rights marches and then letting us know you’ll gladly kill anyone that interrupts the white power gathering isn’t really the great patriot flex one might think it is. In fact, it’s the exact opposite of that. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it’s the exact opposite of that. I know what they are. And I don’t like them. But the true test of free speech isn’t supporting people saying things you agree with. It is supporting the rights of people you don’t agree with. And I wasn’t saying I would “gladly kill” people that attempt to disrupt. In fact I support the counter-protestors that will hopefully show up. But I was paraphrasing a famous quote, not flexing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, I’m more speaking to shutting down roadways in the capital, or generally disrupting the ability of the government to function. Protest peacefully as the founders intended. I think it’s a stupid reason to protest, but there are a lot dummies out there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let that quote go “over your head”. Interesting point, the quote is commonly thought to be attributed to Voltaire but isn’t actually a direct quote. Any way, I was very vocal that I thought the we should have started shooting people on January 6th. And if this convoy comes and tries to do something like that, I support shooting them. But if their protest stays peaceful, then we should be applying the same rules as we would for a protest we do agree with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Quote The trucker convoy to DC protesting the vaccine mandates is not primarily made up of trucks and won’t be going to DC. Also the mandates they’re protesting are not in effect/don’t exist. Bunch of scaredy pusses. I'm all for peaceful protests but not if your protesting things that don't exist. 🤷♂️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Yeah where the hell is this damn convoy? I've read Hagerstown MD, Lexington VA, n SC. I love all the articles tho. These morons are completely out of touch with reality. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2022/03/05/truck-convoy-sc-drivers-protest-vaccine-mandates-dc/9389846002/ Quote Besides protesting vaccine mandates, the caravan highlights an appreciation for truckers of America and what they endure to transport needed items, he said.

TradeTheBeal! Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Again, embedded with that group are a few vehicles/trucks loaded with munitions, body armor and equipment/supplies for an extended and violent occupation of DC. They’re simply trying to come up with a Plan B because they now believe that Plan A will not work. Nothing more complicated than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
