Group of protesting truckers begin trip to DC area this week

Inspired by the trucker convoy in Canada, a group from California says it will now head to D.C. to protest COVID-19 restrictions.

It is one of many planned convoys of truckers that is planned to come to the D.C. region next month. But they don’t plan on entering the District; instead, they will “terminate in the vicinity of the DC area,” according to a release from the “People’s Convoy.”


The convoy will start Wednesday at Adelanto Stadium in Southern California. They will make about 10 stops on the way to the Beltway area, including in Arizona, Ohio and Hagerstown, Maryland.


According to a release from the group, it is protesting to end the COVID National Emergency that was extended by President Joe Biden on Feb. 18 and end vaccine and masking mandates.

Considering your prior posts supporting the arrest of peaceful left-leaning protesters for blocking traffic, I'm assuming that you want these truckers arrested if they succeed in closing down the Beltway, right?

Apparently there's more than one "convoy" headed this way.

I wouldn't be against that.

I have said if truckers want to make a mark, don't deliver food to blue cities.

You realize that's a two-way street, right? Of course you don't. Liberals are hypocrites.

The Capital Beltway is shut down by the normal flow of traffic every day. What will be so different about this one?

Making the problem even worse serves no purpose and certainly will not win the support of the locals who are just trying to get through an already normally slow commute.

When I have to go into the city I leave early. Like 6am.
