“We’re going to continue to do that route every morning at this point because obviously is scares the crap out of the them,” convoy organizer Brian Brase said.
. “The Metropolitan Police Department is prepared to implement traffic control measures, including rolling road closures, as needed.”
Some of the convoy had traveled across the country to protest, beginning their journey on Feb. 23 in Adelanto, Calif., outside Los Angeles. Organizers and convoy members talked about Monday’s convoy as a “win,” saying it included 258 cars, 68 motor homes and 95 trucks. At a meeting Monday night, the group focused on police efforts to block exits on I-395, and how it emphasized the traffic backup.
“Since they didn’t want to seem to trust us on what we told them we were going to do, and they screwed everybody else’s life up today, we just might do what we want to do from now on,” convoy organizer Mike Landis said Monday night. “Way to create some traffic,” he told the protesters.
