People's Convoy is run out of town by angry Oakland residents who pelt their vehicles with eggs (It was labeled by anti-abortion protesters as 'the most extreme anti-life bill California has ever seen, essentially legalizing infanticide')

Dubbed the 'People's Convoy,' a small group of truckers that rolled through Oakland to protest a lawmaker's sponsorship of a pro-abortion bill and a Covid vaccine mandate bill, were pelted with eggs by upset residents.

California assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, 44, represents the state's 15th District, which encompasses some well-known suburbs including Berkeley and Oakland. On Friday, her home was surrounded by police after it was targeted by a convoy of 20 drivers in 18-wheelers pressuring her to resign.

Earlier in April, Wicks, who's held office since December 2018, sponsored a bill that would require all workers in California to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. The bill was 'postponed' after it faced stiff opposition from labor unions as the omicron variant crested in the heavily vaccinated state.

The Democrat stirred the pot even more after introducing another bill that would end the requirement for coroner investigations into stillbirths. It was characterized by anti-abortion commentators as 'the most extreme anti-life bill California has ever seen, essentially legalizing infanticide.'

The convoy, which started in Adelanto, California in February, drove across the country to D.C. and is now back in California. On Tuesday it was staying near Sacramento - 81 miles away from Oakland - and planned to be there for at least a week while deciding its next move.

Last week's demonstration was similar to one carried out by the People's Convoy movement in Canada for a month between January and February. Motives for the protest were similar too, as Canadian truckers were opposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Footage from Friday shared online by Rise Images shows residents and truck drivers clashing in the San Francisco suburb while the sounds of horns never ceases to erupt from every street.

Just stop delivering food to these inner-city ingrates. Let them take out their anger against their limousine leftist enablers in SF during the food riots.

And the entire police force should be FIRED for this Blatant Discrimination, the "Police" have NO LEGAL DUTY to protect the citizenry, and discriminatory practices like this to "protect" special people should be a FELONY with Long Prison sentences and complete Civil Asset Forfeiture, including loss of Pension and Retirement Benefits.

I know a chinese woman who was a teenager during the 1960's Cultural Revolution. Was sent out to a collective farm to "learn from the peasants" for several years. She recalls watching some Eastern European propaganda movie where angry peasants were pelting corrupt oligarchs with eggs and tomatoes.

Her reaction was - how rich that country must be! They can afford to throw eggs and rotten vegetables at politicians, while we haven't seen an egg in 6 months!

You have lived in America long enough to know that some pigs are better than other pigs, have you not? Politicians are at the top of the protected class. Perverts and degenerates are next. Peasants [ordinary working stiffs such as Bill and Jane] are last on the list. It is open season with no bag limit on them. Everyone preys on them. And makes a living off them. Particularly. They live high on the hog from the blood they suck from them.

This rent-a-mob is astroturf.

Is a reporter going to ask the protesters where they are from, who told them to come, and if they are being paid?

They always manage to grill conservative protesters.

At least the Daily Mail has mentioned The People’s Convoy.

It's not an IF. It's underway. Massive culling of turkey/chicken flocks. Grain shipments to dairy farms cutoff will cut the milk/beef supply. Fertilizer supplies are limited and too expensive for most farmers, so they aren't planting. Herbicides/pesticides are in short supply, so crops that are planted are at risk of decimation by pests. Parts suppliers are having problems getting replacements to repair over the road trucks, so many tractors are parked awaiting repair. Semiconductor supplies are impacted by trade problems with China and lack of neon for the fabs sourced from Russia/Ukraine. Vehicle manufacturers are cannibalizing chips from cheaper vehicles and placing them in more expensive models to improve profit margins.

Costco is limiting sales of pet food to 1 bag per customer. Walgreens is limiting sales of baby formula. The cat food shelves are sparse.
