KosAccording to the report, the arrest came after infighting led to a confrontation that escalated at the rally. The discontent had been brewing for a few days after bad weather and a lack of direction and purpose coupled with a smaller insurgent group reportedly trying to take control over the protests led to general frustrations, desertions, and dissatisfaction.
Earlier in the week at the Hagerstown Speedway, where the truckers meet before wasting time, money, and diesel riding around in circles outside of Washington, D.C., a man calling himself Ricky Bobby took the microphone. He rambled on for a bit, as is par for the course at such an event, and then tried to get truckers to go to another rally point where he promised indoor bathrooms.

OP
They are grifters milking this scam for cash. The money is probably what they are fighting over.

The high cost of fuel, although bad for small firms, can be handled s it has in the past - fuel surcharges.
So - they should have jobs.

They've been spending the last few weeks shitting and pissing all over DC, so what has changed?
Has WalMart sold out of the XXXL Depends?
