DC is not technically a state, or US territory. Consider that DC is currently occupied by a belligerent force. Keep in mind that there are already several dozen American prisoners of war that are rotting in the DC jail without any Constitutional rights being applied; with no charges, no speedy trial, no basic human rights.
WIth that in mind, wouldn't it be better for the truckers to stop just before the line that separates the US states from DC? They would still be blocking the roads. The press and cell phone cameras would still record the protest and share it globally. The effect of the demonstration would be basically the same as one done inside the District.
However, US laws would apply to the protestors in US territory. The Virginia Governor has already shown to be reasonable.
I just don't see the protest being any more impactful inside DC than at the borders of the District.
Thoughts and comments requested.
I've said this before; DC is a waste of time. As stated above it is currently occupied by a belligerent force, with all the negatives that follow that. Not only that but it is nearly empty. No one is there, and although the counties surrounding DC are some of the richest in the USA, they do not produce anything. They are rich because they harvest our tax dollars. IMO, time would be better spent protesting the blue state capitals and blue cities, and it will be harder to censor. Most of the Capitol footage is still under wraps. The same thing will happen here and we will have to hear non-stop muh insurrection from the zombies again. That aside, I'm all for filling the 495 Beltway with trucks, just for fun.
