Maryland State Police on Sunday warned commuters they may face massive traffic delays on their way to work Monday morning as more than 1,000 large trucks, recreational vehicles and cars prepare to once again protest on a major highway surrounding Washington, D.C. – just one day after bringing traffic to a standstill.
In a statement posted to Twitter on Sunday night, the Maryland State Police urged drivers to anticipate ‘higher volumes of traffic’ as they try to get to work on Monday, when the so-called People’s Convoy protesting ‘unconstitutional’ coronavirus restrictions plans to once again loop the 64-mile Beltway.
‘While public safety remains a priority and we work to fulfill our statewide law enforcement responsibilities, the Maryland State Police respects the public’s First Amendment rights,’ the police said in the statement.
The thousands of individuals protesting the country’s vaccine and mask mandates plan to leave Hagerstown Speedway in , their staging ground for the past few nights, at around 9:30 a.m. and make their way to the Capitol early Monday morning, according to The Washington Post.
They then plan to loop around the Beltway just once on Monday, after circling the city twice on Sunday, organizer Brian Brase said. But this time, he said, they will occupy two lanes instead of one as an ‘escalation’ as they drive the minimum legal speed limit.
Brase noted that the group is coordinating with local law enforcement, while also acknowledging that ‘obviously there’s a natural disturbance.
‘We’re hoping one lap by two lanes, so we get back here sooner before rush hour or anything like that,’ he said, adding: ‘We do not want to impede traffic any more than necessary to get our message across.’
Troopers from the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, Automotive Safety Enforcement Division and barracks statewide ‘will address any violations of the law,’ Maryland State Police said, as they urged residents to follow any updates at www.roads.maryland.gov.

IDIOTS…. so what are the protesting? Covid restrictions that have already been lifted?
Wasting all the precious $4-$5 diesel fuel
Great Timing. COVID is old news and there’s WAR.
The police will “address any violations of the law” by donning Nazi uniforms and beating to death anyone who dares to “not comply”.
They will not differentiate between men or women and children. Their political bosses (who have forgotten their place in our Republic, will give them orders, which they will then use in court later as a defense against murder and violence charges, just like the original Nazi killers — “we were just following orders!!”.
When you can either buy gas to get to work, keep the water running in your house, or feed your hungry children (you only get to pick ONE of them), maybe THEN you’ll see what Jefferson predicted is the ONLY WAY to throttle these gangsters. Kill them.
And HE was much, much smarter than any of you living-on-your-knees, boot licking lemmings.
Arrest Jefferson FIRST. THEN come for me. I’ll take a jury trial and settle for $60 milllion. My price, if you notice, keeps going up, because our “leaders” are making sure everything else does and you can’t stop cheering for THAT.
Gas Prices are the NEW complaint , along with ALL the Dirt Democrats have done to America incl WAR !!!!
honestly this is so stupid. would make more sense to just park their trucks for a week or better yet refuse to make any deliveries to blue states areas. NY CA DC!

That stuff you are drinking or smoking isn’t pure – its very bad.
Really man?
LMCLAIN, I agree with you. There are just some truly bizarre comments that pop up here all too frequently. I do wish that the readership was a lot more well versed in current events rather than spouting off.
Nazi uniforms and beating folks to death……here in the USA? If THATS WELL VERSED and accurate…….wow. No really…WOW.
