A group of truckers calling itself the “People’s Convoy,” which protested vaccine mandates and aired other right-wing grievances by driving around the Washington region in March, returned to the Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland on Tuesday.

The group had left the speedway on March 31 to return to California, after spending more than three weeks driving in circles around the Capital Beltway and later attempting to drive through D.C., where residents reported harassment and attacks by its members. The convoy is hosting a rally Tuesday evening at the speedway, which is about 80 miles northwest of D.C.

1. I'd like to tell them where they can go and park their trucks, but I don't think they're going to...

ask me (they really don't want to know the answers anyways). If they don't hassle people, etc., have a peaceful protest, that's fine, but don't use your 100 foot long trucks as weapons either.
