    It would be illegal / discrimination for a landlord to kick someone out of their apartment for their political views.

    ----------

    ...Now, he is apparently currently living out of his SUV. Anglehart claimed that his landlord kicked him out over his "point of view" concerning the protest...

    ----------

    That idiot was probably hocking his horn at his own residence or harassing other residents for being vaccinated who then complained to the landlord. Most likely, he just couldn't pay his rent and was then evicted...the landlord got pissst after hearing about what he was spending his money on instead of paying his rent.

    Obviously he's not the sharpest tool in the shed especially after giving out that critical money away that he needed for his living expenses to protest mandates that were already schedule to removed and restrictions schedule to be eased "before" the Freedom Convoy.

    Obviously the "Truckers" are not rocket scientists. Their combined IQ appears to be below 100.

    However they should have enough common sense to understand that beating up a motorcyclist who gave them the finger and proudly posting the video to the internet while bragging about what they did --- is a very dumb move.

    Of course, this is not the only criminal incident on video where they attacked motorists in D.C.

    These losers are giving up and going home...

    People’s Convoy Gives Up, Will Leave D.C. After 3 Weeks of Doing Absolutely Nothing
    After creating a mini-city in Hagerstown, the trucker convoy will pack it up and leave town in the coming days.
    https://www.thedailybeast.com/peopl...on-dc-area-after-three-weeks-of-doing-nothing

    Three weeks after the so-called “People’s Convoy” landed in Washington, D.C., the group is calling it quits after accomplishing nothing except injuring residents and circling the Beltway.

    Co-organizer Mike Landis announced Sunday night that the group would pack its things up in the coming days and drive back to California.

    “So what I want to know is, what do you think about heading to California?” Landis asked, to the crowd’s delight. “Sounds like a great plan,” one convoy-goer yelled back.

    Landis further said that convoy-goers who remain posted up in Hagerstown, Maryland—who have experienced many freezing nights while camped out in the small town an hour and a half north of D.C. proper—will enjoy a southerly route back to California. “We’re gonna take a little more southern route, so it’s a little warmer than this,” he said.

    He pledged to “come back to finish this job” in the metro area at some unspecified time, which seems highly unlikely as their crowd dwindles.

    The announcement comes after lead organizer Brian Brase fled Hagerstown again over the weekend amid continued splintering within the group.

    “I am not running away,” Brase said in an attempt to convince the crowd Saturday night.

    Convoy organizers didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Sunday night.

    Over the past three weeks, the convoy has struggled to gain traction with lawmakers in Washington. The group met only with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, and a handful of House Republicans while never brokering a meeting with a single Democratic lawmaker despite attempts to do so.

    From claiming that average D.C. residents who flipped off truckers during their never-ending Beltway loops were agents of “antifa,” to being hilariously trolled by a single bicyclist and eventually getting a permit swatted down by the U.S. Park Service, the convoy kept stepping on rakes.

    “Six antifa vehicles! Six antifa vehicles,” one trucker yelled over the CB radio on March 16 while the convoy circled the Beltway and annoyed commuters as its presence triggered Metro PD to close exit ramps. “Keep your heads on a swivel!” another trucker chimed in.

    During its final week in Hagerstown, the group became increasingly desperate, with two of its medics leaving and factions emerging between those who believed the convoy was “corrupt[ed]” and those who thought it wasn’t. Morale was also dropping fast, and it appeared that the $2 million raised was drying up quickly, as organizers increasingly tightened the restrictions on how and when fuel reimbursements would be distributed to truckers.

    Brase, the group’s de facto leader, had previously told The Daily Beast the convoy could go on “indefinitely.” “This is a process that we are hoping to do diplomatically,” Brase said. “We’re in it for the long haul.”

    “We could go indefinitely, right now, if that’s what it takes,” he concluded. “We are not going away.”

    Pussies. Occupy wall street hippies didn't know what they were doing either and they had to be cleared out.

  9. Time for me to resurrect the People’s Convoy! Spooling up to go to DC! I’m really going to show them the force and power of a trucker!

    Now for a cause. Or two. Let me go down the list:

    1. Low pay - Actually, many of my brethren doubled or more of their annual income over the last couple of years, now can earn upper class income.

    2. Poor working conditions - Get paid to travel the country or run local, often with flexibility in schedules. Ok, no claim there.

    3. Covid testing, vaccination mandates, and mask mandates. Only ran into one major shipper in the last few months that maintained enforcement language on door signs. If Fauci Fascism stills exists, have not really seen any recent evidence of it.

    4. Ever increasing regulatory burden - Actually, Hours of service regulations have eased a bit recently and are making more practical sense now. Thank you, Peter Buttigieg.

    5. Excessive law enforcement efforts against truckers - If anything, it seems a trucker has to go out of his way being stupid to get a ticket nowadays.

    That’s it! I’ve just figured out what to protest! No rebel without a cause here!

    I will protest our government taking away our reasons to protest! And hey, it is always good to stay in practice!

    Oy vey.
