In reply to the discussion: Truck convoy: City 'outnumbered,' says mayor; Protesters given Monday deadline to leave [View all]gristy
(10,733 posts)10. Make the area one big no parking zone
Tow violators one at a time. Have at least two cops with each tow truck, with video running. Arrest those interfering if possible. If not possible, at least their interference is then documented, and they can hopefully be arrested later. Those who can be identified, anyways.
I'm looking forward to seeing the first no-wheel truck dragged onto a flat-bed, hubs screeching.

The whole thing is a Russian strategic op. The truck drivers are just "useful idiots"

Sounds like the class action suit is the best way to let this go--along with boycotts etc.

A proper siege would do the trick indeed. No food, water, or fuel. Only bad smells, bright lights.
