“We’ve been tasked with collecting supplies, having people ready for the sides of the road when they do come through our territory, and if they stay in our territory to supply them,” the Maryland DC chapter member wrote under the handle “Peter Venkmen” in the Peoples Maryland/Virginia Convoy chat on Telegram last night.
'Like a military operation'

Wowzers! Talk about Himalayanizing a molehill!

It's an organized protest, just like the *****hat protest in January 2017, except less stupid.
So, different kind of context ... Runners doing 100 and 200 mile endurance runs pre-position, at designated places, food, water, whatever, and at key locations they have crew with the same plus necessaries for a quick rest or nap. You know, kind of military-like.

Even a 5K run usually at least has a water station somewhere around mid-course. It's simple basic preparation and safety.
Did a DU-member remind the rest of the truck loads of rocks and bricks pre-positioned for Antifoid and BLM rioters? Or did they all avoid knowing about that?
