The trucker convoy cheered a loss because they don't know how govt works.

Besides mask mandates the convoy was protesting a bill in California they believed would make infanticide legal. The bill would give the right to sue a prosecutor for bringing up charges after a miscarriage.

When the bill passed out of committee with 11 ayes and 3 nays, the People’s Convoy curiously began celebrating. The YouTube channel Behind The Mirror cut together a few different streams of Tuesday night’s protesters:

When Assembly Member Jim Wood said after the vote “...that is 11 to 3 — that bill is out as well,” Wood meant the bill was now out of committee and on to the California Senate for a vote, but some of the People’s Convoy protestors in the hall didn’t grasp that.

“Don’t ever introduce that kind of legislature again!” one streamer shouted in the halls before heading out of the legislature building and walking a few blocks and into a wall of truck horns and people celebrating. He then credited the Convoy with a “reversal” of the vote, saying earlier that day the vote was five in favor and 3 against.

“I guess they would have had to show up to vote,” one man is heard saying.

“Yeah cause of all these trucks park in the middle of their dang fuckin’ capital!” the streamer shouted.

And then, after a few of the more curious and unsure protesters actually double checked with the Sergeant-At-Arms, the celebration fell apart.

California could become the second state, after Illinois, that lets pregnant people sue prosecutors for erroneous charges related to pregnancy loss, according to Diaz-Tello, the lawyer for If/When/How.

The bill — which cleared the Assembly Health Committee on Tuesday — would also clarify that people cannot be liable for civil or criminal penalties “based on their actions or omissions” with respect to a “perinatal death due to a pregnancy loss.” Perinatal is not defined in the bill, but it usually includes up to seven days after birth, according to a legislative analysis of the proposal.


To be clear, the murder of an infant is still illegal in California. This bill does not prevent police from investigating such deaths. It is a bill that only allows women to go after prosecutors who charge them with a crime in the event of miscarriage or sudden infant death. Talking heads on the right, somehow, interpreted this as Californians having 7 days to murder their kids and get away with it, hence the convoy turnout. The bill cleared the Assembly Health Committee with a vote of 11 ayes and 3 nays — and again, that means 11 voted yes and 3 voted no — and goes to the Senate next week.

2. Seems very common to me that MOST people don't know how government works.
