“Freedom Convoy” organizer Bob Bolus announced the movement’s plan to “squeeze” Washington, D.C. like a “boa constrictor” as the movement continues its nationwide anti-mandate protests.
NEW: an organizer of one of the #TruckersForFreedom convoys says the plan is not to park in DC, but to shut down the Beltway.
Bob Bolus says he plans to leave PA on Wed & circle DC: “I’ll give you an analogy of that of a giant boa constrictor.” @fox5dc pic.twitter.com/BKkisxUpLD

Watts pointed out that there are “a lot of people that don’t want that to happen,” who want to “get to work, get to where they need to go, to have emergency services reach them in the event of an emergency.”
When asked how long the “Freedom Convoy” would be parked, Bolus simply responded that he had “no idea.”
Watts mentioned in a follow up tweet that DMV law enforcement was “having trouble” finding towing companies willing to tow trucks parked in the “Freedom Convoy.”
The Virginia State Police said in a statement that they are “monitoring the situation” and are in touch with “National Capital Region local, state, and federal partners.” “This is standard practice any time the potential exists for a significant protest that could disrupt the safe and efficient flow of traffic on Virginia highways,” the statement added.
