Washington D.C. In Danger Of Getting Cut Off Completely

“Freedom Convoy” organizer Bob Bolus announced the movement’s plan to “squeeze” Washington, D.C. like a “boa constrictor” as the movement goes forward with its nationwide anti-mandate protests.

“We intend to circle Washington, D.C., and basically, I’ll give you an analogy of that of a giant boa constrictor,” Bolus said. “That basically squeezes you, chokes you, and then swallows you. And that’s what we’re going to do to D.C.,” he added.

Watts pointed out that there are “a lot of people that don’t want that to happen,” who want to “get to work, get to where they need to go, to have emergency services reach them in the event of an emergency.”

Watts asked Bolus if he fully realized the risk surrounding D.C. might involve. Bolus said that a lane would be left clear for emergency vehicles and that the “Freedom Convoy” would not “compromise anybody’s safety or health one way or the other.” Bolus did say that it was “too bad” for those who would not be able to get to work.

When asked how long the “Freedom Convoy” would be parked, Bolus simply responded that he had “no idea.”

Watts said in a follow-up tweet that DMV law enforcement was “having trouble” finding towing companies willing to tow trucks parked in the “Freedom Convoy.”

The Virginia State Police said in a statement that they are “monitoring the situation” and are in touch with “National Capital Region local, state, and federal partners.” “This is standard practice any time the potential exists for a significant protest that could disrupt the safe and efficient flow of traffic on Virginia highways,” the statement continued.

The ongoing “Freedom Convoy” protests have seen truckers across the U.S., Canada, and other parts of the world come together against COVID-19 mandates. In Canada, police have started cracking down on the protests, arresting organizers, and trampling protesters with horses. Ottawa police have accused protesters of using children as human shields.
