Heh. "Convoy" leader says some truckers have "pissed their pants," blames the D.C. police.

https://www.rawstory.com/peoples-convoy-2657017691/

The Daily Beast's Zachary Petrizzo reports that People's Convoy organizer Ron Coleman said on Tuesday that he wants to start conducting "citizen's arrests" of Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, as well as members of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.

According to Petrizzo, Coleman even said that he has lawyers representing the convoy looking into whether it would be legally feasible for the truckers to arrest the mayor and police officers.

Coleman also said that he wanted to conduct arrests of the police because they haven't let the truckers get out to go to the bathroom as they've been circling the Beltway, which has resulted in having some truckers who have "actually pissed their pants."



Don't most truckers carry a "pee bottle" for just such an occasion? Could some kind DUer send some Depends?

To stop in the middle of the street and go to the bathroom on any street in the country? That would certainly be handy for us older drivers to know! On the other hand, it would lead to chaos and major traffic jams, especially on city streets, which I'm sure Mr. Coleman is very aware of, and is probably is his primary intent.

What a bunch of ignorant whiny adult children they are. The high point in their life is disrupting traffic, making others miserable. They see themselves as heroes fighting for conservative values, so be it. Lets create a special medal for them, I am thinking an asshole on wheels made of pot-metal and pinned to their foreheads. Pucker up trucker.

First: THE BELTWAY CIRCLES THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA!!! It does not enter it at any time. The Beltway is in Maryland and Virginia. If you have problems on I-495/95, take it up with the Maryland and Virginia Departments of Transportation.

Second: Boo-fucking-hoo about not being able to go to the bathroom. You get stuck in traffic, you hold it until the next exit. This Is The Way of the Beltway. Carry a pee bottle, or wear Depends. This isn't the open road - there are no truck stops or rest areas to pull over onto.

Third: Citizens arrests? Really? WTF?
