I am really sad that the term "Truck Haul Putsch" hasn't taken off in social media. I think it perfectly encapsulates these morons and their place in history.

Social media is a total bust, I've seen completely contradictory statements on various things and I'm not educated enough on who or what to believe The Ottawa Citizen has been running real-time coverage, written in actual long-form prose. They have one article per day: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/loca...ntretown-patrol https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/truck-convoy-protests-road-closures-continue-thursday-as-frustration-grows etc.

Alctel posted:Thank you! No worries! And lol: quote:National, provincial and local intelligence agencies have boosted efforts to identify and target protestors who are funding, supporting or enabling unlawful and harmful activity. Investigative teams are collecting financial, digital, vehicle registration, driver identification, insurance status, and other related evidence that can be used in criminal prosecutions. Given the Twitter thread from an insurance adjuster about how hosed these assholes are if their insurance company finds out they're using their trucks for non-commerical purposes, I have high hopes for this development. I'm also just thinking back to the 2012 Vancouver hockey riots, and how it was policed retrospectively using cell phone and security camera footage. I think it's pretty likely there will be a lot more arrests long after this is over. It doesn't help the citizens of downtown Ottawa who are having to deal with excessant honking and hate crimes right now, but it's at least something.

Treat them just like you would a disheveled man having a conversation with an inanimate object in the park, or a dude who tells you the aliens visited him and probed his rear end in a top hat. Stay the gently caress away, you can't fix that level of crazy and there's no point in trying.

I dunno. I don't think you really can respond because it's not like you'd be able to argue using logic and reason. Responding with something like "TRUTH! ALL HAIL MZIKMORF THE GRASSHOPPER KING!" might work because it might confuse them as much as their statement confused you but even that's unlikely.

On the other hand, if the tow companies are receiving death threats and poo poo, I can see their reluctance considering the police are just absolutely childishly useless.

I'm under the impression these tow truck companies are normally remorseless shitbirds who tow at any opportunity to make a buck, so gently caress 'em to a degree. Really feels great to know angry white men can use violence or the threat of it to get away with what they want.

That guys forehead looks like the ancient SA photoshop thing of that guys forehead that was all scarred up and someone made a like, 50 screen high version of it where you just kept scrolling. Also, ignoring that response I got is probably right - it was on my (good) cousins post about winter tires or something then you had the crazy trucker supporters come in and I just had to touch the poop. It's sugar water btw in case none of you figured it out - we're all being duped!! (actual words)

PT6A posted:Yes who would've guessed that "do absolutely nothing" or "capitulate to these arsehole's demands" were not, actually, good choices? I think a lot of people are still expecting the convoy to run out of fuel supplies earlier, but they seem to still be moving diesel and propane in, in large quantities. I saw 4 pickups on a walk earlier, 3 hauling diesel there, one hauling empty jerry can back. They are staging at RCGT park just east of RCMP headquarters. https://twitter.com/CanadianCentury/status/1489342581473484810 Should be easy enough to drop some concrete to cut them off, that parking lot is city property, but no one has done it.
