Border convoy arrives in Dripping Springs
KXAN ^ | 02/01/2024 | Nabil Remadna

Posted on 02/01/2024 10:21:39 AM PST by thegagline

Roughly traveling through nine states over two and a half days, the “Take Our Border Back” convoy made their way towards Central Texas on Wednesday.

The group wants to peacefully protest and call on the U.S. government to secure the border with Mexico.

The group made plans to stop in Dripping Spring. Fred Summers, who lives in Leander, posted up on Highway 290 to wave them on and show his support.

”Saw it on Facebook,” Summers said. ”It is a way to say thank you to those guys. This is like fourth of July for me.”

While he’s just here to wave them on, some people planned on joining the convoy.

”I ran across this on social media,” said Michael from Athens, Texas. He’s said he’s concerned about illegal entry into the United States.

”How cool would that be if everybody coming in went through a checkpoint,” Michael said.

Michael said this convoy is a peaceful way to raise awareness about what’s going on at the border.

”We want a secure border,” he said. “You see the writing [on car] immigration great, but crossing the border I think we are going into an invasion.”

Charles Crites drove from Florida to Dripping Springs to meet up with the convoy.

”He asked me and within about 30 minutes said we are going to go,” Crites said. “The governor we want to support him and he’s trying to get it under control.”

This happened last night and today they are in Eagle Pass.

In reality, they should go to Del Rio, because their sheriff and commissioners are NOT a part of the 52 Texas counties declaring a state of emergency.

-Val Verde County needs to get what it deserves for supporting illegal (criminal) immigrants.

“There seems to be a complete MSM blackout regarding this event.”

Zero authorization from the Federal Ministry of Information distribution. So absurd is the effort to squash this event across the media outlets, that its like ignoring thousand pound Pigs flying into O’Hare Airport at noon-time.

All it takes is the activated undercover agents to call for violence, agitate people around them and pick fights with authorities.

Been going on for a long time. In books about Muddy Waters and others who worked on plantation farms they said if the owner needed some more workers he would have the paid strangers in town pick a fight in a bar or in the street. If the victim stood down he was laughed at for not being man enough. But if he would fight, both would get taken to jail by deputies, the victim sentenced to farm labor and the other man mysteriously let out of jail.

I wonder if they’ll find pipe bombs at the border with video of the man who planted them along with his license plate, yet refuse to investigate?

J6 is waiting to happen.

I fear another J6 shit show by the FBI/DOJ could be in store for peaceful protestors.

Agreed. The protesters are only pawns in the game of life.

There is a very significant difference. The agents of the FBI making arrests can in fact be arrested for inteferring with the laws of Texas

This might end up as the prelude to CW2. In any event, this will be a very interesting year. Things are coming to a boil.

I’m glad to hear that you’re afraid of our tyrannical government. Now go away.

I’m not afraid of them. We participated in the last convoy and demonstrated with them in DC post J6.

We were proudly supporting our President at J6

We attended the Medical Freedom march in DC after J6.

We fully support the Convoy and all patriot efforts to take our country back from tyrants.

We are not sissies. Don’t be a sissy

I filtered as broadly as possible without using the name as the media has used different names for the protesters. For example, including the term “God's Army” along with the other filters has even less results. Your mileage may vary.

You are delusional. Maybe a few years in a DC jail will get your mind right.
