So just cruising the beltway, then

Update: The one-truck "trucker convey" heading to D.C. today is now going to "drive around the Beltway responsibly" instead of driving into D.C. to tell Congress to embrace freedom.

1. If he stops traffic on the beltway, they will drag him out and beat him

10. Haw! You are assuming traffic moves on our beltway!

His "convoy" will really cry when they get a taste of DC traffic!

13. I agree. It's a jungle out there

[lagomorph777]

15. Yeah, he's really going to hate the Beltway.

2. Get your motor running. Head out on the highway.

3. Looking for adventure. With whatever comes my way.

Hopefully, flashing lights and sirens will come his way if he does anything stupid.

5. Better stay off his cell phone.

That’s all I’m saying.

14. Did anyone else laugh out loud when you saw the truck with all those flags?

It was on the last video from the op. I don't know why it stuck me as so funny. So ridiculous!

[HipChick]

16. Driving around the beltway in rush hour?

Good luck with that

17. Lazy assholes, hiding in huge metal weapons instead of protesting like normal people.

They can't leave their security blanket trucks at home and protest on the streets like the rest of us. Are they too stupid to figure out the Metro?

19. This is probably why

The Pentagon approved the use of 400 D.C. guard troops and 300 members from other states along with 50 "large tactical vehicles" to help keep traffic flowing, the D.C. National Guard said in a statement.

The Guard vehicles will take up positions at strategic intersections starting no later than 1 p.m. on Saturday or as soon as possible, the statement said. The troops will not be armed and they will not be authorized to conduct "domestic surveillance activities," the statement said.

Don't know if these are Strikers or Humvees. I'm sure they're not a tracked vehicle.
