VT: Across the country, Proud Boys and MAGA militia types are blocking highways, setting up road blocks and brandishing weapons as an election disaster seems to be inevitable.

The message is clear, they are willing to kill to stop an orderly transfer of power, acting on the orders of renegade chief exec, Donnie Trumpstein.

Daily Beast: The FBI has begun investigating Friday’s reported “ambush” of a Biden-Harris campaign bus by pro-Trump demonstrators on a Texas highway, according to the Texas Tribune, which cited a law enforcement official.

The agency confirmed the news on Sunday, noting, “FBI San Antonio is aware of the incident and investigating. No further information is available at this time.”
A Biden campaign official described the group’s actions as an attempt to run the bus, which did not contain either Democratic Party candidate, off the road.
However, multiple sources confirmed that Wendy Davis, a Democratic challenger running in Texas’ 21st Congressional District, was on the bus. President Trump tweeted his support of the aggressive caravan after the incident, crowing, “I LOVE TEXAS!”
MediaMatters:
ANNA KOOIMAN (CO-HOST): Just set the scene for us yesterday because these images are startling when you see the traffic snarls caused by these protesters, disrupters.
SHERIFF PAUL BABEU: Well not only we had miles of backup of vehicles yet these protesters, we all appreciate and protect the First Amendment, freedom of speech and to rally, protest. Yet when you interfere with the public roads, you can’t block traffic. They had vehicles across the road, they had lots of people even tying themselves to the vehicles. And they were given multiple warning by officers to clear the roadway, even given ten minutes, and they still didn’t do that. So they were arrested. Three were arrested, and the rest got out of the way, and we had to tow a number of vehicles.
TUCKER CARLSON (CO-HOST): Hm. So in the name of combating fascism they’re committing it. Just to be clear since you’re a law enforcement official, it’s not legal to block the road even if you’re protesting something, correct?
BABEU: Oh absolutely not. And that’s where — look, we even established places for people to hold peaceful rallies, because we don’t want anybody to get injured. But you cant interfere or stop other people from holding a rally and you certainly can’t impede traffic and that’s what exactly what they did.

I have no problem with civil disobedience being a part of protest, but using vehicles to threaten other moving vehicles is neither of those things.
Also, these people are not protesting anything, they are demonstrating. Those are two different things. Demonstrations of support cannot simply be called protests, and they do not carry the same consideration as people protesting murder and assault by rogue police.
I’m not a fan of the highway thing for any protest, but if the local police want to escort, as I have seen done multiple times, then a march should be orderly and timely. Coordination with the local authorities can often work out well if done properly. Vehicle attacks are attempted murder.
Take their license numbers,
mail them all ticket for $500 and a summons to show up at court.
If they do not appear, find them, put them in jail until they pay ticket plus court fees. Deny bail They will have to wait months in jail until their court date.
Keep file of all those arrested blocking traffic, and license numbers if those who were not arrested. Bug their phones, see which ones belong to the fascist Trump militias, get names off all, arrest all of them. Deny bail, hold them in jails until their court dates at least 12 months later.
That simply isn’t going to happen, Konehead. The cops will just sit idly by and watch, just like they did in Minneapolis when their own agents provocateurs were out breaking windows and slashing tires.
I’m surprised Mango Mussolini didn’t say “SLOW THE VOTE COUNTING DOWWN” here in AZ & other States that aren’t procrastinating on it.
Like he said about covid testing.
… (I wonder if his dumb ass still thinks testing causes covid?)
Trump & his goons will burn down America just to get re-elected!!
