The important thing is the right to assemble is designed to obstruct and/or inconvenience “business as usual”. Just like “Picket Lines” do. So hopefully that is enough to put some “teeth” into the action.
The Convoy was never going to do much at all. Political authorities ignore protests unless there is an "OR ELSE" provision which involves replacement of those political authorities.
That was never part of the Trucker's Convoy planning. Real concessions would require something like a general strike as a follow-up. We are not there yet.
Think of it as a rally to draw attention and motivate supporters. Just enough drama to do that but not enough visible threat to draw serious reprisals from the Government. At least not yet. We have seen what the Candian government did. They ruined the lives of a great many people.
So did the US Government with the Jan 6 protestors.
There is no point to sacrificing people in a frontal attack which is a losing fight.
The current political and corporate authorities benefit from keeping people fearful and impoverished. That makes us easier for them to control. That also requires the complete destruction of the middle class, as that is where potential rivals originate. That also requires the firm subjugation of the working class. The underclass and criminal groups are useful shock troops for political authorities to keep up the pressure and fears.
It is an unstable proposition, one very much in conflict with the traditional American culture. Protests and rallies are a reasonable start at opposing the proposition, but they are only a start.
If MSM ain’t showed none of this, it ain’t happened!!!
Some say “the mask mandates are gone so the truckers’ point is moot” but it’s not true. . .Thousands of CA college students (and in other states so maybe millions?) are still forcibly masked as of today with no end in sight.
Perhaps the college students should have formed a convoy, not the truckers, but the college students are too compliant and submissive!
If they don’t block and gridlock D.C. for 48 hours to send their message, it will all but be ignored by corrupt big media.
Not sure what the theme is since these Cretans lifted the mandates because of the 2022 election cycle. Re brand, resignations of the following people will be accepted starting at this date those who choose not to participate will live in their offices until they do, the vending machines are your friend
RSBN has a camera on a overpass...looks like where 270 merges with the 495 beltway in Maryland. Heading toward Virginia.

Biden threatens to VETO Senate vote to end the COVID national emergency (2 days ago)

Now nearing half way point for first loop.
What link are you using to follow their progress?
I’m seeing a lot of vehicles now at the RSBN live link... flying flags and honking (at the 270 intersection with 495 in Maryland)
I’m monitoring several things.

Flightaware.com is showing helicopters overhead.
I’m watching traffic speed with maps app.
Chatter during feeds and looking for street signs.
thanks :)
Be careful. There are January 6 protesters rotting in jail, who may have wandered into the building - but they were doing nothing wrong.
This regime is evil - if you are a deplorable, you will not get equal protection under the law.
Be brave, but stay safe.
Traffic is moving smoothly on the Beltway now. I don’t think we’ll see that tomorrow unless there are a *lot* of people working from home.
They say trucks have just reached the RSBN cam again (second trip around — 495 is at the left, at the location where it merges with 270 south traffic)

The convoy got really spread out on their practice run this morning. They’ll work on keeping a tighter formation next time so it’s obviously an organized group.
When did I say that?
Went out to watch it and it looked like average traffic with a few more truck. Will go out again to check out round 2.
