I just can't understand how they can't see it.
Confiscate their property because we disagree.
I have to admit, I still firmly believe that disrupting the lives of uninvolved citizens is a crappy thing to do. But, the left has normalized this method now, and they fully supported it while watching their pets burn down cities and assault government facilities and employees. Now they want it crushed with the iron fist of fascism.
Sickening bastards.

"Convoy" protests - if it happens here, what should be done?
The Canada "protests" are already causing supply chain disruption in Canada and the U.S .
DHS has issued an alert for the possibility of this in major U.S. cities.
How should this be handled here?

1. Treat them as alleged criminals...
impound their trucks and everything inside the vehicles.
That's what they do with suspected criminals.

4. The Federal Government should treat this as a potential coup . ....
take nothing for granted. When you see GQP congresscritters applauding this like Hawley on 1/6/2021, games over, protect the United States of America.

19. Since hose who actually bring trucks with them...
Will be owner operators, it will cost them dearly. A highly regulated system that will be handled differently here, I hope.
Consequences must take place for these assholes.

21. Go to the company names on the trucks.
Tell them we are trying to figure out who to arrest, are they complicit, or are they filling out forms, stating the trucks are now stolen property.
If tte truck is owned by the driver, the stock in it sure isn’t. If the stock has been delivered, and the truck is theirs, arrest them and, yes, their license should be taken away - after a hearing.
Put pressure on the companies to say the truckers are needed and have x number of hours to get back to the facilities, or they are fired.
Look at how many anti-vaxxers caved when their job was threatened. Do this at one or two “protests” and I bet you won’t have many more problems.
It is crazy to me, as a parent, that they are letting the children get away with all of this. The children need to be put in a corner, for a serious time out
Many of them are frothing at the mouth thinking of the opportunity to go full tyrant.
