In case of a tie the truck wins every time...

What level of stupidity is it to impede a 60000 pound object traveling at any speed? These Constitutional Right To Die people have my blessing to try. It’s the Darwin Awards on steroids.

If I recall correctly F=ma is true even in the Trump Universe.

Lots of police, ambulances, and coroners involved.

Unfortunately, DUers are reporting hospital road blocked & ambulances cannot get patients into hosp!

I cannot fathom why protesters are not locked up & made examples of by courts, as in 20 yrs each.

Seriously! If anyone in an ambulance dies the lot of them should be charged with that, too!

Coddling these morons is enabling anti-social behavior & endangering innocent people's lives!

As for the truckers, I agree but, undoubtedly if they hit some asshole in this mess, the trucker will have a legal mess on their hands, cuz, you know: "justice." 🤬

A lot of my loads get close to the 80k legal maximum (without permit). I hope that trucker had their dash cam rolling and that they were not violating any laws.

Yup, a trucks mass will smash any ass.

Mind there is one thing that beats a truck. A freight train.

But if it's PPE, that stuff would be a light load. A full 48' full of potato chips is about 10K.
