I don't think I accused you of anything? I was just joining in the conversation.
Problem is that yes, they are preventing businesses from operating, they are blocking roads and putting innocent people at risk.
Like I said, I support the protests, but now that the point has been made, it's gone beyond protest. Destroying peoples livelihoods and blocking roads for what is now weeks is no longer just peaceful protest. People lives are being destroyed and their Rights ignored entirely. Businesses hanging on by a thread due to the virus, will now fail as a direct result of the protests. Truck drivers are put in danger while they are just trying to do their jobs and get things like food to people who need it. When do their Rights matter?

Let me know when drivers are allowed to carry firearms.
Aren't you the guy who was just complaining about others not staying on topic? Or was that another AugustusMasonicus?

The dialogue was happening. What wasn't happening was the dialogue YOU wanted YOUR way on YOUR terms. No, you don't get that.

Don't see where the title says anything about how long a protest can be held either.

So they are making plans and they gave themselves an entire year to get it done.

I'm surprised about this honestly. Truck drivers would be happy to not get stopped by state patrol or police. Truck drivers have a lot more laws to abide by than regular commuters.
I haven't changed my mind at all my position has always been that if defunding achieves the means to the end then so be it. I am not the one here equating defunding with lawlessness.
And no, no one hurt my feelings and I am not a criminal. Why is this always the assumption that when some doesn't like the way the police are operating it must because they want to commit crimes. You are the one who very clearly stated you need the fear of police to keep you from being a criminal, not me.
I'm sorry if you made assumptions about things you know nothing about regarding how police works somewhere outside your 50 miles radius of where you were born and raised.

Nice. You just posted a link that proves that drivers are unable to carry firearms.
The law dictates:
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
In essence, Federal law is leaving the decision on whether or not a trucker can carry a gun in the hands of state legislators. No clickey if no likey info

Blocking a street infringes on the rights of anyone who can't use it as a result. Blocking roads so truck drivers can't use them, infringes on their right to earn a living and use the roads they pay a lot of taxes to use.
It's gone way beyond legal protest unless only the protesters have rights, and no other persons rights are real.
Link to where I said I had zero police presence. I said our town PD was disbanded after corruption. I was asked who comes when 911 is called and I answered.
Basic human nature doesn't mean violating other people's rights.
