So will trucks be also a device to dissrupt the public from wakening up against tyranny? This is brainwashing folks & pier group propaganda strategy toward the right to protest! Everyone has the democratic right to protest however these zombies 🧟‍♀️ endanger the lives of others with their stupidity! Blocking emergency Services from using the roads and people going about their daily life! They need the public to take the law in their own hands! I think that they are missing the point here, if the protesters want to use these devices, let them, but don’t direct police and emergency services to help them, they put them on let them take them off and if they need assistance let them procure that assistance at their own cost
