I wonder what kind of jobs these chuckleheads have that they can just skip work for a week-long LARP. No wonder they are afraid of immigrants, immigrants work harder than these losers.

They don't. They collect unemployment and/or disability from the government. Such entitled snowflakes.
It's just a group of cops that are currently under investigation, so they have some free time
I guess any job with vacation time? I'm not doing any of their convoy bullshit of course, but if I wanted to I could use PTO to take a week off.
They aren't employed
Weren't migrants causing disaster in new York city? I saw it on YouTube :(
This has already been posted, but I have to share the part of this article that made me laugh the hardest, which would be at the end of this paragraph:
Almost immediately, one of the vehicles in the convoy got lost, according to messages posted in the Zello walkie-talkie app that the group is using to communicate while on the road. Later, when the convoy linked up to discuss evening plans, the meeting quickly descended into an argument about where they were going to be staying. Even trying to meet up at a gas station was difficult: Due to the size of a Buc-ee’s in South Carolina, convoy members couldn’t locate each other.
So it's a.... Convoy of Babel?
Considering it started with a prayer for guidance and they immediately got lost, I supposed the idea that they angered a vengeful god wouldn't be too out there...
Sounds like this was part of gods plan 😂
Thoughts and prayers
Yeah but which god? The christian god of the crazy maga people or the Catholic god of the immigrants?

Well they’re Republicans. The closer they get to actually having to put their words into actions, they freak the fuck out because they know it’ll be nothing but a disaster. They’re probably slashing their own tires and blaming Antifa
Could be, though I do really hope that this was locals fucking up their plan.
This headline is the opposite of clickbait. The details are amazing!
"WIRED reported that, at one point, the convoy's main bus pulled over onto a highway shoulder and kicked out one of the passengers.
It was unclear why the man was ejected, but he was left stranded in Florence, South Carolina, without his wallet, according to details from a livestream of someone in contact with the man."
Imagine the sort of piece of shit you'd have to be to first want to join in on this (and not in an undercover journalist sort of way) and then get rejected by them.
My guess is that he wasn't a big enough piece of shit, probably objected to pulling a full Greg Abbot at the border.
Never go full Abbott.
Anyone who can afford to go on a "save the boarders" escapade (which is purely political grand standing) and not have it disrupt their entire life making them essentially homeless... does not represent me.
And anyone actively blocking poor migrants from getting help is not "gods army" they're fucking psychos.
I mean I would think calling yourself God's Army already implies you're psycho.

Borders*
I'd be fine with saving boarders, they don't have anywhere else to stay.
Sorry about that. It was worth the unintended lols, though.
I'm always wondering how these whackjobs are able to sustain this shit? Are they taking the little vacation the get to do this shit? Or are they on unemployment? Absolutely bananas.
Oh yeah but let me tell you about those welfare queens abusing all of my taxes.

How exactly the convoy plans to confront migrants at the border and stop them from entering the US remains unclear.
Well, I assume that those nut jobs are carrying an arsenal "just because they can". So they should be treated as armed and dangerous criminals once the shit hits the fan.
I've always wondered how slashing tires works. In my mind it's like a balloon that pops, sending the knife flying into my eye or something.
Normal car tires it just deflates really really fast. You can seriously fuck yourself up going after a semi though. There's a video of a dude in China who tried that. He got blown back several feet, his arm of his jacket was in tatters, and he was bleeding like crazy.
You kinda gotta poke and make a mark and then cut horizontally. The sidewalls of the tire are easier to get through. Also stand back because the air pressure can still fuck you up a bit, especially larger car and truck tires.
I....in mincecraft....never slashed a tire except for the sidewalls and honestly its been like 30 years so iono maybe its harder now? but back then...in minecraft....30 years ago...it was nothing.
Interesting and cool to know! In Minecraft, of course. There are probably varying levels of tire quality. I imagine the quality of the knife probably helps a bit, too. I bet something sturdy like an ice pick would make it pretty easy.

Finally, a resistance is starting to wake up in this country. I've been left with this belief that the lawless vigilante fascists can do whatever they want and the populace is just too scared to try to stop them.
I’d all but wager on a guarantee that this is no residence. They’re doing this shit to themselves to garner sympathy and victimize themselves in order to justify the shit they know will be sketchy at best and downright criminal at worst.

This reminds me of the convoy of "protesters" a couple of years ago in Ottawa, except those idiots actually made it to their destination..
Americans seem to be the most clueless about other countries and cultures, while also acting like they know all about them.
But despite an influx of donations, plenty of media attention, and a growing social media following
Wait, how much of the population find a hateful crowd not alarming?
