What became of the DC truckers' convoy?
By Michael Letts

When protesters rioted in Washington, D.C. after the death of George Floyd, leftist politicians welcomed them.  They even went so far as to paint "Black Lives Matter" in large letters along 16th Street.

During her press conference, Mayor Muriel Bowser said, "There are people who are craving to be heard and be seen and to have their humanity recognized.  We had the opportunity to send that message loud and clear on a very important street in our city."  She said the message was "Black Lives Matter," but this first part of the quote could have just as easily applied to the truck drivers making up the People's Convoy.

Those truckers didn't get a street painted over in their honor.  They aren't even allowed into the capital city of their country.  They were "banished" to the Beltway, allowed only to circle D.C.

Protests are a mixed bag at best. They are best when they are spontaneous and the govt doesn't see them coming.

The other problem is the situation shifted. COVID restrictions were starting to fall apart, undercutting the need to protest.

Sometimes there's just no hill to die on.

A number of days back, before this even started, I predicted it would fizzle out as a "me, too" attempt to do what the truckers did in Canada...
