The Peoples Convoy is having quite a Friday already. First, there are reports of police having to break up a heated exchange Thursday night, which resulted in one person being arrested with a loaded firearm on their person. This was hours after members of the Convoy rolled by a private school to honk their horns and cheer freedom with the kids. But with their deadline to leave Hagerstown Speedway by April 7, and growing infighting about what to do next, it seems the Peoples Convoy might be on the ropes.
Protesters posted video of the students of the Baptist school in Hagerstown, Maryland, climbing all over the trucks and honking horns, according to Vice:
Oh, these are little kids! said one of the livestreamers upon rolling up. I thought it would be teenagers and stuff, but these are kindergartners and such.
The truckers quickly led the children in chants of Freedom! as tinny renditions of Its a Small World After All and Jingle Bells played over a PA system.
Convoy co-organizer Mike Landis announced plans to stop at the school at their daily meeting on Thursday morning. This gentleman has organized some trucks to go over and hang out with the kids, Landis said. Theyre gonna go over and pay a visit to those kids.
The children were given tours of the trucks and honked the horn, with a long line of kids waiting to get inside the big rigs.
Youre on YouTube now, youre famous! one of the streamers told the kids.
A livestreamer trucker who goes by Sasnak and has 126,000 subscribers, videoed kids as they clambered into his truck and pulled the horn. We watch you on YouTube! one exclaimed.
Once the kids were back in classes, truckers hung around the parking lot swapping conspiracy theories with parents.
