What about if they start blocking I-10? A tactic you would generally support?

Have you traveled on 10?

Not sure there is a difference between a blockade and BR traffic.

Yes or no. They're firing bottle rockets at cops and slushy cups full of concrete? Are they attacking white people and dragging them through the streets or attempting to pull them out of their cars?

History is so much fun when you eliminate the parts inconvenient to your narrative.

I don't think they are blocking freeways. But it's not as if I haven't been stuck behind some assholes that want to stop traffic in protest before.

Something i find interesting, this is more how the media has split people



The truckers know the mainstream media is the enemy. That's why they banned certain media outlets from their first presser. That made my day.

When BLM was blocking traffic and shutting down roads... Trudeau supported it, and frequently met with Canadian BLM members.

Indeed.

Reuters Reporter Asks WH About "Right-Wing Forces In The U.S." Supporting Canadian Truckers Protest


QUESTION: This situation on the Canadian border — or in Ottawa, the truckers protest: There does seem to be evidence that these truckers are getting support from conservative forces or right-wing forces in the U.S. Are you investigating that at all? Is there any, kind of, you know, involvement of U.S. authorities in looking at those money flows going to these truckers? And are you concerned about it?

JEN PSAKI: Well, I would say a couple of things. This doesn’t answer your question, but I just want to get this out there too on this particular topic, and then I’ll come around — I promise.

We have been engaged since the outset — well, some of it hopefully answers your question, I should say — of the protests. There have been zero impacts to CBP operations, which is a question people have understandably been asking us. Some — some shipments were rerouted by our law enforcement partners to other points of entry due to road closures. Some shippers have had to reroute. But CBP has been in communication throughout to ensure shipments can be cleared and onto the normal routes.

In terms of an assessment of any other engagement from here, we have — we don’t really have any update on that or any investigation to read out at this point in time.

I reject the premise that they are.

Yeah, but the Canadian GDP needle doesn't move even a little when BLM is on the streets. Not the same for truckers.

don't we get in a tizzy when protestors get in our way of the streets? hell, we want to run over them. i'm for their cause, but let's not ignore the irony/hypocrisy here.


TD when libs protest in the streets:

Run them over!!!


TD when conservatives protest in the streets:

so brave!!!




however, i'm also aware that the libs are 100% more violent than a parked 18-wheeler on the highway so it's not exactly the same thing, but the message applies.

You'd have a point if we got to make the rules. But we don't. The Left does, so are we supposed to not play?

Cops in Canada arrest 4’10” 78-year-old great-grandfather

quote:

Cops in Canada were caught on camera arresting Gerry Charlebois, a 4’10” 78-year-old great-grandfather after he honked his horn and gave a thumbs up to truckers at the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa


@joe_warmington
I spoke with him. He’s in pain. He’s 4 foot 10. A retired janitor with 11 grandkids, 4 great grandkids. If this disgraceful treatment of a 78 year old for honking his horn and a thumbs up to a trucker is acceptable to @JustinTrudeau @fordnation @JimWatsonOttawa no one is safe.

After attempting to get his identification from his wallet in the back of his minivan, Charlebois was taken down with the twisting of his arm and hand, and landed on one knee on the ground before being pressed against his van and then, with the help of a second officer, handcuffed behind his back.

Charlebois was cited for “unnecessary noise” and released with a fine
