Police say they learned about a planned event set Saturday, Feb. 26 through Saturday, March 5, where truck drivers plan to “convoy”, causing traffic issues and possibly crashes.
“Though the Illinois State Police respects the rights of citizens to express their opinions in a lawful manner, there is great concern with any event that is designed to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic,” says Illinois State Police Division of Patrol Colonel Margaret McGreal.
She continues, saying, “Traffic backups are a major contributing cause to traffic crashes which lead to property damage, personal injury, and even death. A planned event designed to impede normal traffic flow is dangerous to the innocent motoring public.”
McGreal says those who participate will be held liable for traffic crashes occurring as a result of their actions. The Illinois State Police urges all motorists to abide by traffic laws for the safety of all.
So yeah, thats a little different than "we've been told we're not welcome and that they wish they could put their boots on our necks and shoot our puppies." Before we get up in arms...best to check facts. You know...kinda like how checking facts should be being done in Ukraine too before everyone's keyboards gets all riled up RAMBO style and you superimpose the Ukrainian flag on your social media profile picture.
Oh and just about every state (including Illinois and all the other liberal hell-holes) have already lifted mask and vaccine mandates. So, um...isn't this trucker convoy pretty much too little, too late anyway?
the truckers don’t want covid shot passes/passports; are those being phased out?
ty
There’s much more to this protest than mask
mandates. I’ve two friends in the nursing
profession who’ve lost their jobs after
refusing the shots.
“...there is great concern with any event that is designed to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic,”
...unless it’s BLM or some other democrat operation.
Yet BLM on the highway-No problem.
Another likely corrupt government official pops up. The people of Illinois should be taking notes.
