Whose freedom is the ‘freedom convoy’ fighting for? Not everyone’s

Fresno CA

Description

The one-word rallying cry — freedom — is the activist mantra. Who could be against freedom? But let’s take stock of the freedom that some have exercised during the ongoing rally: -Descending upon a soup kitchen, intimidating staff and demanding to be fed — all without masks. -Desecrating war memorials that pay tribute to those who fought for the very freedoms the convoy supporters enjoy. -Defecating in public, including on the property of people whose home displays a Pride flag. -Overrunning malls and shops that have forced many to shut down, thereby denying the shop owners’ and employees freedom to earn a living. -Shutting down schools in the wake of rallies, denying parents the freedom to go to work and children their freedom to go to school. In the tantrum for so-called freedom, the majority of participants have not denounced or condemned these reprehensible, well-documented behaviours which, notably, have gone mostly without consequence.
