[/quote] Hope y'all are proud to have your movement led by a guy who's literally a criminal scumbag.[/quote] Who are you even talking to? I doubt there are many truckers on this website. It's not "our movement" - but they have every right to protest, wouldn't you agree? Sure you would.[/quote] Right to protest? Sure. Right to block traffic for hundreds of thousands of everyday workers? Hell no. [/quote] That is within the right to protest. Now could they be arrested for breaking the law. Sure.[/quote] Idiots think they can just decide what their rights and the Constitution are. Sorry, but welcome to reality - rights and the Constitution have real meaning. It is not a right, nor Constitutional, to intentionally use a bunch of big trucks to clog interstate highways as a political stunt. That is illegal, even if it is a "protest." [/quote] Of course it is illegal. So was the march on the Edmund Pettus bridge which shut down traffic. So were MLK's marches in a number of cities. So were the anti-South Africa protests in the 1980s. So was Occupy Wallstreet. So were the BLM marches over the last couple of years. So were the anti-Vietnam war sit-ins. That's not the point. Of course they will be arrested. They have a right to their protest. That right comes with getting arrested. That is the American tradition. That is unless you want to take the view that all of those protests should not have happened.[/quote] There is a difference between a scheduled point to point protest march lasting part of a day and a plan to occupy and obstruct transportation and commerce for a week or weeks. There is also a huge difference between protesting racial oppression and the racist police state of 1960s Alabama and protesting basic traditional public health measures that don’t harm or discriminate against anyone. This is a more extreme action and it’s for the stupidest cause. [/quote] DP. Umm... most BLM protests and certainly Occupy Wall Street, CHAZ, etc. were *not* "scheduled point to point protest marches lasting part of a day." Surely you can grasp the parallels here. You can't applaud and encourage some protests (because you agree with the cause) and then turn around and insist other protesters be arrested (because you DON'T agree with their cause). Plenty of BLMers blocked major roads and highways. CHAZ and Occupy Wall Street were days/weeks long disruptions. Truckers driving to town is not "extreme action" compared to those. If they do something illegal, they should be arrested - as should ANY protesters committing illegal acts. Did you complain about these idiots blocking traffic (and worse)? https://www.nbcnews.com/video/san-jose-protesters-block-highway-84116549862 https://abc7news.com/bay-bridge-traffic-now-blocked-demonstration-closed/6247745/ https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/blm-protesters-block-off-seattle-011500795.html https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/12-arrested-after-highway-blocked-blm-painted-on-pavement-in-seattle-protest/ [/quote] Yes. Yes, they shouldn't have blocked traffic and occupied public land and disrupted life for everyone around them. That was idiotic, just like the trucker convoy.[/quote]
