US ‘freedom convoy’ could disrupt Sunday’s Super Bowl, officials warn.

[Chief Turkeyscratch]

A planned American “freedom convoy” of truckers opposed to vaccine mandates, inspired by protests in Canada, could involve a blockade of the Super Bowl in Los Angeles this weekend that “could severely disrupt transportation, federal government, and law enforcement”, according to reports.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin to US law enforcement agencies warning of a convoy “potentially impacting Super Bowl LVI” on 13 February, and the 1 March State of the Union address in Washington, where the mooted convoy is likely to arrive, CBS reported.

Looks like you already saw the halftime show!

Right wingers hated it when BLM protestor disrupted traffic for a few hours.

Somehow I think they are going to be ok with this group disrupting traffic for weeks.

It's dumb. Anyone who disrupts traffic should be jailed. There are plenty of ways to protest without damaging property and shutting down roads.

I would agree, although I think it should apply to both sides.

But I also know right wing media is going to make these people into hero's.

So Truckers are going to stop for long periods on the streets of Inglewood?

 

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

It may inconvenience a few fans locally, but will have zero impact on the game itself, or the hundreds of millions watching worldwide.

Morans just like their Canadian counterparts.

Hopefully it's going to be a mostly peaceful protest.

This is an issue for Homeland Security? Really?

I would like it if they would do it without blocking the road too.

I think you misunderstood. The issue is for US law enforcement - as it could be something they would have to contend with - the warning was simply issued by Homeland Security. Hope that helps.

No, I understood perfectly. Why would Homeland Security be making such a big deal out of the possibility of this?

 

[West Duval Nole]

How to cause most of the country to not be on your side would be to cause a delay in the Super Bowl.

 

[ThorneStockton]

No, I understood perfectly. Why would Homeland Security be making such a big deal out of the possibility of this?

I don't get the impression that they are making a big deal out of it. What gave you the impression that they are? I doubt it is that unusual for Homeland Security to issue warnings to local US law enforcement about upcoming matters that are expected to impact them.

Why are you making such a big deal out of this?

 

[FAUlty Gator]

If they cause one second of that game to be impacted, all trucks should be exploded.

 

[thewop]

We barely have vaccine mandates!

If they block roads they should be arrested.

If they want to make signs and have a March, fine.

That'll certainly "endear" them to most Americans.

Odd, how the same folks predicted the downfall of the NFL years ago due to "kneeling", and now they see it as a "major target" to shut down in support of their crazed agendas...

 

[Joes Place]

....cuz NO ONE of any importance is EVER at the Super Bowl.... 👀

 

[runkpanole]

I’m so confused. Last year, we were against blocking streets. This year it’s what the cool kids do?

 

[Finance85]

What is the threat?

 

[Joes Place]

What is the threat?

Right?
Not like you can haul much stuff in a truck or anything...

 

[gohawks50]

If an attack were to happen at the Super Bowl (which I believe is always considered a target) blocked traffic to and from the location would be an issue.

 

[ghost80]

Hopefully they are close enough their horns will blare out the hot garbage halftime show.

Or maybe heroes. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'm also confused. Last year blocking streets was what the cool kids do. This year we are against it?

I'm also confused. Last year blocking streets was what the cool kids do. This year we are against it?

Im also confused. Last year running over protestors that blocked streets was what alphas do. This year we are against it?

And vice versa. Although I haven't seen anyone claim that either way.

 

[naturalbornhawk]

Yeah, I'm not sure now is the time for this.

Finally learned to take these rednecks seriously!

I wonder if they will then march to Beverly Hills and get themselves some free stuff via smash and grab like the last bunch did.

I hope this goes as well as the trump boat parade where a bunch of them sunk.

Yeah, duh!!! This truck rally qualifies as “legitimate political discourse”

I’ve always been against it. Nice try.
