After the Canadian dictator Justin Trudeau had the Ottawa police beat and trample his protesters, American truckers are set for their own Freedom Convoy. Reportedly, 38,000+ truckers will depart Los Angeles on Friday, February 25th, and be in DC by March 1st, time for Biden’s State of the Union. The truckers have promised to remain peaceful. Let’s see if Biden goes full Trudeau with this.
Police in the District will soon deploy civil disturbance units in preparation for the possible trucker convoys that could cause gridlocks like the major blockades in Canada.
Among the organizers is Bob Bolus, a trucking company owner in Scranton, Pennsylvania, who planned on starting his convoy to D.C. on Wednesday morning.
He stressed to WUSA9 the plans to keep the demonstration peaceful, but Bolus expressed the major disruption the series of trucks could cause on the Capital Beltway, although the exact number of participants is unclear.
“We’re not coming there just to starve them,” Bolus said. “We’re going to choke you like a boa constrictor and you’ll have nothing.”
Bolus listed a variety of issues he wanted to protest including vaccine mandates, trucker rights, increased fuel prices and taxes, and critical race theory.
His disdain for President Joe Biden seems to be a major factor.
“We’re leaving lanes open for emergency vehicles, and we’re sending a message to the people in D.C. that you voted for these people,” he said.
