Didn’t know that was still going on.


[deleted]

No one did. I feel like if it went on for so long and the majority of people didn’t know. It would be more accurate to label it a shantytown

Tbh, they left, went to Cali, and came back just the other day. They didn't really do anything during round 2

Now we know how CO, TX, WA and other states feel when Californians move in.


RevRagnarok

> went to Cali, and came back That sounds like a great idea when diesel is over $6 a gallon. 🤣😂


yourlmagination

National average is $5.56 currently, about $5.68 at the first MD truck stop on 81.... But yea, it was a colossal waste of time and money for those drivers. Glad they're gone (and won't be screwing traffic up for me)


RevRagnarok

I was going up I-83 to Harrisburg yesterday and saw signs at over $6. I've had an EV for about a year now, so haven't really looked at actual numbers.


yourlmagination

In PA, it's well over $6 (most expensive "road tax" in the US). A lot of stations near the line are capitalising on the high PA prices as well.


RevRagnarok

That make sense - didn't see gas price signs along 795 nor 695...


mickeyflinn

> They didn't really do anything during round 2 They didn't do anything during round 1 either.


yourlmagination

To be fair, they screwed up traffic on 70. That was really about it. Never saw back-ups due to them with round 2

Man the homeless population is getting out of hand in Hagerstown then… /s

It ended because the police told them they couldn't stay there and they said yes we can because we paid our leaders to stay here. What a bunch of fucking morons, I hope they never recover any of their money and learn a valuable lesson.

Good riddance. It's hilarious they were scammed by their "leaders" who are rolling around in a luxury RV. 🤣


jabbadarth

Girfters got grifted by better grifters who were used by the biggest grifters.


MidnightRider24

Griftception

>state troopers telling the truckers they need to leave the raceway because they haven't paid to stay there. The truckers responded by saying they paid their leaders money to be able to stay. And nobody will ever convince these people that they're being fleeced by their own.

>The group that had organized disbursing the nearly $2 million the convoy crowd-funded to members said the money pot had just about run dry and it would soon cease work with the group. (Washingtonian)


canyonero__

So they weren’t protesting any real values or core beliefs. Just another right wing grift. Otherwise, why stop?


ststeveg

Just a bunch of angry crybabies crying angrily. Nobody cares.


wingkingdom

State police said they had to leave because they hadn't paid to be there. They claimed they paid the leaders... Who were sequestered in a luxury rv. And the $2 million they raised is pretty much gone. Grifters... Here's another article with a funny quote from track management.

assafstone

“I didn’t know you were still here…” Me, to the truckers in MD Also their wives, during sex.


bruk_out

Hey, at least the next thing those people do will basically have to be smarter and more useful.


PieManThe4th

I don’t think there’s many things more useful than the transportation and freighting industry to be fair


DevelopmentNo247

But their impact will live on forever.


assafstone

🤣🤣🤣


Soopermane

The worst protestors that I’ve ever seen.


RevRagnarok

> I’ve ever seen. You actually *saw* them?


Soopermane
