• The People's Convoy is Freeway Fascists

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 14 16:13:25 2022
    The "People's Convoy" is opposed to freedom of speech.

    "A trucker member of the so-called “People’s Convoy” apparently can’t hack it in D.C. traffic and engaged in a little road rage on Monday
    afternoon, getting out of his truck to confront a driver and punch his
    window. During his own live stream, truck driver John Bigard, host of
    the OTR Survival YouTube channel, was seen getting out of his vehicle on
    U.S. 395 and confronting a driver who seemingly attempted to merge from
    a far left lane towards an exit. At one point, Bigard was seen yelling
    at the driver before repeatedly striking the driver side window of the
    silver car. Upon getting back into his truck, the convoy trucker
    appeared to mock the driver’s accent while calling him a “fucking
    idiot.” People’s Convoy organizers and the D.C. metro police didn’t immediately respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment on the
    incident. This was not the anti-vaccine mandate trucker convoy’s first episode of road rage, as they have been spitefully boxing in cars in
    response to drivers giving them the middle finger. “We will continue to address any violations of the law while we maintain the free flow of traffic,” a Maryland State Police official told The Daily Beast Monday morning."

    I'm sure that attention, and "kicks, are gettin' harder to find..." for those oppressed freedumb truckers... It appears that their moment has passed them by? They have been publicly canceled, due to lack of interest.....

    "Ten forward gears, & a Georgia Overdrive"

    More "kicks":

    "‘People’s Convoy’ tuckers enter Washington DC for first time as police close streets into the city

    One driver claimed they were going to ‘f*** some s*** up if [the
    government] don’t do what we say. It’s gonna happen.’"

    "Members of the "People's Convoy" have driven into Washington DC for the
    first time, prompting city police to close exits leading into the US
    capital.

    After spending several days driving loops around the Beltway, drivers in
    the trucker's convoy decided to attempt to block three lanes of traffic
    on I-495 before driving into Washington DC.

    According to The Daily Beast's Zachary Petrizzo, one of the truckers
    made their intentions clear during their drive on the Beltway earlier on Monday, claiming they were going to "f*** some s*** up if [the
    government] don't do what we say. It's gonna happen."

    Convoy organiser Brian Brase originally advised the drivers to avoid the
    city over fears they would face mass arrests. He and co-organiser Mike
    Landis announced Monday they would enter the city on their daily drive.

    “Today we’re getting right next to their walls,” Mr Landis told the drivers. “We’re not going to go in and throat-punch them just yet, even though I know we would all love to do that.”"

    Sounds like pretty ordinary Brown Shirt Fascists to me.
