People's Convoy Joins Thousands in Los Angeles 'Defeat the Mandate' Rally

Thousands of people including truckers and firefighters from across the country gathered Sunday outside Los Angeles City Hall to protest vaccination mandates designed to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The crowd gathered at Grand Park to hear speakers and performers, while big-rig trucks from the "People's Convoy" were parked on nearby streets. Members of the convoy jammed traffic during a Washington, D.C., protest earlier this year.

The peaceful crowd gathered to hear speakers and singers and was similar to a rally held at the same spot last year and to others staged around the country.…

They are here! In California. The protest against unreasonable emergency powers, continued passports requirements, and vaccine mandates continue on. I’m glad that they have returned to my state to pressure our ridiculous blue leaders.

 

If they travel up I-5 to the communities north of Sacramento to the Oregon border or come down from there to the big cities on the coast, they will receive heroes welcomes on our over passes along the route.

 

It WASN'T "Thousands"...
Unless one is into Decimal Pounts...

God, imagine having a life as boring as those 1k or so have. Only folks with no joy in their lives would choose to go to a dumb ass rally.

 

Thx for the link...
More than 1,000 people gathered in downtown Los Angeles Sunday

More than 1,000 people = About 1,100 or 1,200...
NOT "Thousands"...

 

*LOL*

The "truckers" have been so successful.

 

Exactly, WS...
And, even "Over 1,000" could have been an overinflated number...
It easily could have numbered somewhere in the High 900s range...
"Thousands"?

 

Or maybe it gives people purpose in their lives to know that they can use their 1st amendment free association rights to peaceably assemble among like minded friends to petition their government to redress grievances using their free speech rights to express our feelings on the issues of the day. It seems that some on the left are bitter that they don’t have the streets and protests to themselves anymore

 

Unlike those who take the time to reply with a sweeping generalization fallacy? They took the time to stand up to government overreach and abuse of power. Did voters ask for fewer paramedics? This political product you call a "Vaccine" is ineffective and the numbers do not justify the abuse of power.

BTW, do you know that the risk for healthy people was before the inferior product you call a "vaccine" became available?

 

Three comments to make:
1. They have the right to do as you suggested, hold a peaceful rally as you say. I personally don't have a problem with it, and agree with your statement about it.
2. Why is it so important to not get vaccinated? Sometimes the government has to make rules to get people to comply with safety rules, as there are always some idiots out there who want to "express their rights". Are you outraged at seat belt laws, helmet laws and anti drunk driving laws?
The authorities have no right to stop me when I'm driving fine, breathalyze me and arrest me if I blow over a .08.
3. Why do you always bump your own thread within minutes of posting? Do you have problems remembering what you wanted to say, but remember right after posting?

 

I have no real problem with the vaccine. I am vaccinated. My whole issue is with the government mandates to get it and the whole show us your papers passport issue. I oppose that. Now I did have side effects from the vaccine that greatly exacerbated diabetic neuropathy issues in my eyes, hands, and feet. I also got covid omicron a couple months ago that knocked me down for two weeks of misery.

 

I know you didn't ask me, but I would still like to tell you why it is important to refuse this pharma product. (Unless one is elderly and/or frail)

1. The risk for healthy people was extremely low before the product became available. The risk doesn't justify the egregious abuse of power.
2. People like myself know how to maintain a strong immune system. I have been exposed to Covid many times and did not catch it. My wife and son both got the "vaccine" and both got Covid. I kissed and slept next to my wife in the days prior to her having symptoms and still didn't catch it. Forcing this pharma product, improperly labeled a "vaccine" denies scientists the opportunity to study those with natural resistance.

Since you support big government imposing strict mandates on this issue, you also support outlawing abortion, right?

 

The good news for them is that the mandates will go away at some point.

Their numbers are borderline irrelevant when it comes to moving the needle, but hey, if they want to declare victory once the government stops caring enough to let mandates expire, more power to them.

 

Sorry to hear of your experience with Covid. It got me in January, but I don't know what strain. I was sick for about 2 days, but some odd symptoms for about two weeks, like always feeling dizzy.
I think it's difficult for the government to decide what to make law and what not to. If there is a threat to the citizens of the US, should they make laws to force those who don't want to do the "right thing" comply, or just leave hands off and hope they do the right thing. What if they're actions put others in jeopardy?
I think the government officials are subjected to a lot of unfounded criticism, just as cops, judges and others are. Occasionally, they do something to deserve it.
It's really easy to criticize, but much harder to understand the responsibility and decisions they have to make. No matter what, someone is gonna be pissed off.
I think they should ignore the pissed off and gleeful alike, and make decisions based on what they think is right, not what the loudest in a crowd says.
Anyway, my two cents................

 

I welcome your comments. That's why we post here isn't it?

I think what scared medical and government people alike is that they didn't know how it would ultimately affect the population at large. And we still don't know everything about it, such as long term effects. I see them acting to be on the safe side, which is understandable.

I didn't say I supported strict mandates. In fact, I didn't support them, but followed them and gained an understanding why. I did get vaccinated, and wore a mask when it was required, whether or not I agreed with it, but I do think both helped mitigate the illness, along with other illnesses.
I think when it comes to abortion, one should have a choice, whether or not I agree with it. Odd you would bring that up, though, as it doesn't really fit the narrative.
In fact, one who is strongly against vaccine mandates seems to me like they would be pro-choice for abortion. Are you against government mandates, but for the state to tell a woman if she can or cannot get an abortion? Seems like that's a little on the hypocritical side..............

 

This rally is the quintessential 'beating a dead horse".

I wonder what the percentage of those that participated believe Trump win the election. !!

 

This is one issue that makes those in both parties hypocrites. I strongly oppose abortion laws along with many other abuses of power.

 

Ah, anti-science.

By the way, nobody is forcing anyone to get a vaccine or wear a mask.

 

What exactly are these folks with boring lives bitching about exactly? Nobody is forcing them to get a vaccine or wear a mask.

 

They made their aims and goals quite clear. I support their goals and their protest.??

 

I would love to discuss science.

1. What was the risk of hospitalization/death for healthy people before this product became available?
2. What was the risk of hospitalization/death for children before this product became available?


You are incorrect about forcing people. Facing unemployment and not being able to attend school is in fact a level of force.

 

Remember what Dr. Fauci said....

 

Nobody is forcing anyone to stay employed at a place that requires vaccines and or a mask.

Nobody is forcing students to go to a school with vaccine and or mask requirements.

Again, not sure what anti mask and anti vaccine people are bitching about exactly.

 

The health risks for taking the vaccine is even lower than becoming aystematic with Covid.

Second, no matter your health situation, I would recommend discussing taking the vaccine with your internist or family phyician that you go to. Do not rely on any phyician or anyone who calls themselves a phyician, from TV, radio, podcast, etc. All they are doing is selling you a bill of goods that is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Third, no immune system is strong on any and every disease. that is a load of crock given to you by Fox News and others. Furthermore, it also depends on which variant you get. Some variants are more mild than others.
