Truck burning
With the recent events in Charlotte, I feel that I just have to say something. Getting into it with the Police is one thing, I can understand the frustration of innocent people getting beaten, and killed by police officers. We truckers really can relate to this as well, we are marked not because of our skin color but just by what we do as a profession. These protestors need to just keep their battle between those that they have a beef with. No, they can't do that, they loot stores, they burn down stores, they attack innocent bystanders, they now have decided to attack we truckers and burn our freight and equipment as well. Novel concept if we truckers quit hauling into their areas then their shelves would go empty. Then they would really start riots and blame us for them starving as well. This really is a no win situation here, what in the hell is going on? We truckers are oppressed even more so, we don't get any positive recognition by anybody regardless of color. Maybe we should start having protest of our own, peaceful though. The first protest we should start up is the speed limiter, we can meet up and just circle around a city at 55 mph. It is obvious that the only way to get attention is to inflict a little pain into others lives. Here is where the BLM'ers get my respect, they can get a group of pissed off people together in a hurry and do something. We truckers just want to gripe and complain but when one of us make a suggestion we just say that it will never work.
