‘Freedom Convoys’ aren’t supposed to make sense. The world can’t ignore them | Will Bunch

...The vagueness of the demands makes it easy to both ridicule the protests and the protesters, and to also point attention at the many bad actors eager to mobilize the ennui and growing paranoia of a two-year pandemic for their own nefarious causes — including the usual suspects of neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers and Confederate flag wavers and whatnot

If nothing else, this ongoing situation is proving quite useful for revealing the biggest stooges amongst the Fifth Column so-called "Mainstream Media".

End the mandates. There is nothing vague about that.

He left out federal agents, or did he?

Typical media misinformation. The demand is very clear: end the jab mandates, now.

This article is typical leftist drivel filled with the usual snide comments and snarky attacks on people who value independence and a non-obtrusive government.

I pretty much watched the whole block party that occurred on Saturday night that was shown by the journalists who walk around and video the proceedings. I did not see one Nazi or Confederate flag anywhere. I saw a lot of teenagers and 20 somethings having fun. What I found surprising that in spite of the presence of alcohol, I didn’t see one fight. Not even a couple guys duking it out over a girl.

Yeah, freedom doesn’t make sense to Commies. Put the Filthadelphia Inquirer in that category. Every Rat City needs to be visited by a Freedom Convoy and have its food supply shut off. Maybe starvation makes sense.

Trudeau is calling the Freedom Convoys things he should have said about BLM Antifa instead taking a knee with them

If the author believes the freedom protestors demands are too vague, maybe they should do the actual journalism thing and investigate by talking to some of them. Also the , “everything is on the table”, except for you know ,talking to the truckers. If the canadian govt pushes this thing into violent territory, how long is your border with the usa? how are you going to keep american sympathizers from slipping support to the rebels you created?

Like that is going to happen. So-called journalists spend tens of thousands of dollars to learn to write on a sixth-grade level when they go to J-school. Talking to people wasn't covered. They learned only how to transcribe talking points from government. Journalists need to be put into the same category as educators. They have gone to indoctrination school. They are low-IQ'd, ignorant and never built anything in their lives.
