In their views, only 2 types of protests: illegal (against "leftist's ideology") or legal (for "leftist's ideology").

Anybody can set up a GoFundMe. I expect they don't want her to do that for the US trucker protest.

Luckily we on the right have at least as many guns (and most of them legally owned might I add) compared to their rioting voting base so there's only so much bullying they can do.

That said, these truckers should not be blocking roads. If I was traveling down the interstate and got blocked in a manner that would be hard to get around, I'd get annoyed to put it mildly. Protest off main highways. I admit I haven't really researched what they are actually doing.. they don't want to get vaccinated. They shouldn't have too, but don't block roads. I thought it meant they were simply not driving their truck and quitting their jobs. Bottom line, block roads and assume the consequences of your actions from people like me who might just jab a knife into the sidewall of your tires of your parked vehicle.
They blocked downtown Windsor Ontario and blocked the bridge between Windsor and Detroit. For several weeks! It was an international blockade that shut down some of the car manufacturers.

Facing 10 years in prison, for the crime against humanity of getting a bunch of truckers together to go protest losing their livelihood due to refusing a vaccine that does not prevent spread, in the capital city where they fed the homeless, shoveled the sidewalk, and ran garbage collection cycles for 4 weeks

Funny how Leftists are for riots and looting that shut down parts of cities across the country which prevented people from working and living but when truckers protests without any riots or looting, they are such a threat that need cracking down.

they do that with trucks and roadblocks, not by denying bail to peaceful protesters.

Equal treatment under the law. What we need is a real Attorney General. Bring these tinpot dictators to court and make them pay. All the riots in 2020 and 2021, cities burned down, businesses destroyed, livelihoods erased, people beaten, threatened and killed. No charges. No problem!

Peaceful protests on the wrong side of the PC Table, you better lawyer up big time and beforehand.

People who are out on bail still have to face charges, convictions and jail time.

Trump is the one who pardoned criminals, and let 5,000 terrorists out of Afghan jails.

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

Shameful.

P.S. Btw, I wondered about the BLM organizers and was surprised to see that they have faced felony convictions, also. Just Google "How many BLM organizers are in jail?", and many BLM organizers faced jail time. I must admit that I was surprised.

In any case, I think any organizer or supporter of a PEACEFUL protest should NOT be prosecuted for anything other than specific offenses they committed that posed a threat to the lives or property of others.

These are the propaganda lies the right wing tells. You won't find any elected official in Congress, either right or left, who said they support looting and rioting.


Fact check: Joe Biden condemned violent protests
