People's Convoy faces April 7 deadline to vacate Hagerstown Speedway, seeks new area base

The People’s Convoy bivouacked at the Hagerstown Speedway for the past few weeks is now making a different kind of move besides it’s almost daily caravan of big rigs, campers and cars running to the nation's capital to protest mandates meant to control COVID-19.

The entire encampment has to vacate the part of the speedway it has occupied since March 3 to make way for Saturday’s first race of the season, and it must leave the facility entirely by April 7, speedway General Manager Lisa Plessinger said Wednesday.

The group began moving Wednesday to another part of the speedway that won’t interfere with the races and plans to stay at the facility until a different base of operations can be found in the area, according to Mike Landis, one of the convoy organizers.

“We’re going to stay here until we find a spot that’s suitable for us that we can all agree on,” he said in a Wednesday interview with The Herald-Mail, adding that the group was considering locations in Virginia that would have easy access to the Capital Beltway.

How do these truck dumbfucks pay for all this? Most of us have to work for a living.

They're not self-supporting. We'll probably find out eventually it was somebody like Koch or some other deep-pocket dude.

That's today's excuse. After the Academy Awards tomorrow, they'll be pissed because tfg didn't win an Oscar. And after that, they'll be pissed because there's no place to take a piss.

Their egos would still have the bots to feed on. At least we wouldn’t hear about it anymore.

They make a career out of horseshit like this, taking it so far beyond reason as to be farce.

Go home! Find a new grift! It was dead before you even set up camp! But, no, they will be finding individual descendants of these morons lurking about street corners wearing sandwich signs protesting they-really-can-not-say for decades.

Literally the things who wouldn’t leave.

I think it is a personality trait with these people.
