6. The truckers got off LIGHT with just getting flipped off and egged

The Oakland city government has identified 50 “violent groups” operating within the city. The hard right refers to them as criminal street gangs. The truckers probably aren’t armed - FMCSA gets a bit upset when a trucker is driving around with a gun. Violent groups don’t have that issue. The truckers are quite lucky that some of these groups didn’t do a little civic improvement by blocking in their trucks and removing the wheels.
