Edited - incorrect info on various Freedom Convoys
Apparently the People's Convoy went through Fort Worth 1 or 2 days ago. Other convoy was scheduled on March 1 but appears to be defunct now, they were either fake, or wanted people to join up with the big People's Convoy.

Remember back in '20 driving on HWY 114 in Grapevine and a large group of bikers blocking traffic. Backed up from the north end of the airport up to Southlake/WestLake on 114.
Once we got closer using the toll lane, saw it some urban guys on quads doing wheelies, crotch rocket bikes, and jeeps. Some doing donuts too. This was the middle of the day, think a Sunday. Called 911 and they couldnt do anything. Figured some cops on the other end of 114 would help. Maybe string up some cables to catch the bikers heads would do something. In all this, it frustrates me to no end. Whether its BLM protesters walking on a bridge or this gangbangers doing street racing. Wish the public could take justice in their own hands, if the cops cant/wont do their part. |

That's what gets me here. Dallas can't muster up half a dozen units to block the other end. Motorcycles will get away, but all those cars can be hauled off. Some of the drivers would no doubt run, but who cares.
Eventually it will turn ugly, everyone will blame the average Joe citizen who put up with this shit for years. No one will own up to the responsibility of not doing stupid shit on the road and the police and government will just throw up their hands, surrender, and maybe prosecute the folks who are being held hostage. |

Sometimes in the mornings too, I mean really, if there's no cops around why wait for 6Am on a Sunday? |

We know exactly their response as Plano did a while back, "we always warn them first then arrest/ticket if they don't comply" which is utter bullshit because my lily white wife was not given a warning for 39 in a 30 by Plano PD. Kinda hoping I get pulled over so I can use that to get out of a ticket. |

I understand there was a small protest under heavy police watch in Allen today near 75. It was the one year anniversary of the arrest of Marvin Scott who later died while in custody in the Collin County jail.

He was arrested at the outlet mall, so their previous protests have mostly started up there. Personally I think a big contributor in it fading out was the rise of Marvin Scott III the football player, who was in the news starting last summer, and takes up at least half of the results or hashtags. |

Then he'd pick up a copy of just about every prestigious newspaper you could think of, and tear their stories apart, listing every piece of bullshit they should have left out. I still had respect for the media, but it quickly devolved. The bullshit that my professor was trying to warn us about has become mainstream.

I see Radio/TV classes haven't changed much since the late 70s. Our radio station manager had 40 years of small and large market experience, our station engineer had about the same in radio and TV, and most of our radio professors were AFRN from the Nam era or had extensive D/FW experience. When writing news copy they were heavy on who, what, where, when, how, and why. Anything written that smelled of personal opinion was quickly edited with a plain English explanation of why. They also leaned conservative in their personal politics. None of that applies to any media of any type these days. |

The world we live in now.
https://imgur.com/a/rd9U6wS It's not just the semi-clueless person who posted this on Nextdoor here in Dallas. It's all the comments from others suggesting that the homeowner let the homeless zombie into her home to sleep. Or that it should be the homeowner who seeks out mental help for the zombie. Odd set of opinions on how a homeless zombie has more rights than a homeowner. "Homeless man was sleepin on my front porch just now, I asked him to please leave 4 times, no response. He did stand up and look to see where my voice was coming from and continued to stand there for 15 whole mins not leaving. I told him the police were coming twice, he did nothing respond nor seem to care. Thankfully my husband was home and he eventually got him to leave our property. We did alert the cops, who said they would come and see if he was hanging around the area. I saw him two days ago on my balcony, and made eye contact with him. Not sure why he chose our townhome porch as we have a very obvious camera. He stared right at it. He might even be the one who slept in my husbands work van and took a poop last month. Who knows. Maybe this guy just has it in for us ?? If anyone sees him around, be weary. He looks high/unconcerned with being told to leave. He has nothing to lose. Which makes him dangerous." |

I didn't catch all the details, but wasn't there a homeless lady they found on the side of the road near 45 and Loop 12? There was speculation she was homeless/mental living in one of the camps, was sick and succumbed to the cold weather.
I know it wasn't supercold, but it was wet before the freeze. If she wasn't prepped in a good spot, I can see how it would happen. |

If she wasn't prepped in a good spot, I can see how it would happen. There was a woman who was dumped there. I thought she was murdered. It was in the area where the I-45 on ramp from Loop 12 transitions on a flyover near Illinois. I'm sure you know the exit/entrance area. It's a little weird. I'm not sure what that pocket of town offers a homeless person. I think sometimes homeless wander off into the beyond and end up on 310 with their compass haywired. They need to get back over towards the Bonnie View area or South Lamar where the package stores are located. I can't imagine that the area could get any worse than it is right now. Surely it can't? |

I hear about more bodies getting dumped at Overton/45 but I know the ramp you are talking about.
If you continue west on Loop 12 to the Bonnieview intersection, there's a sizable population of homeless there that hang out at those shopping centers. The police will run through and do a sweep occasionally, then the liberal elite will swoop in and tell the cops how shitty they are for making these people move out. The intersection is a hole. They closed the two car washes, which may have lower the number of shootings slightly, but the rest of it just sucks. The part of the catholic church that faces the road is fenced and caged off. We don't dare go to the 7-11 across the street or any gas station there. We would occasionally stop at the donut store behind 7-11, but we got harassed so much by homeless that we stopped going. A few years later, we started going again, then nearly got caught up in a fight between some mexican dude and the donut store staff. I had my kids with me, shoved them into a corner behind me. The mexican guy didn't want to fuck with me, but he was yelling in spanish, the donut lady was yelling in spanish, the other lady was chattering in korean or something. Fuck. I went back one more time after that, then called it. No more. I feel sorry for the Korean people who own it. The Dollar General was decent when it opened. A few months later, I think it was like a 14 year old kid or something killed the clerk. I didn't go back for a while, then tried it a couple of times. Total trash dump. They have a security guard, black dude in a black tactical vest. I doubt it has plates in it, maybe pistol rated. Black 5.11 knock off pants, black baseball cap, big dark sunglasses, black fingerless gloves. He makes trips back and forth from his chair at the front of the store to his Lincoln he keeps parked out front. It's a fucking mind trip that this is America. |

Not any news, but I did see this interesting Twitter thread reacting to the WFAA story about Dallas County actually lost population in the 2020 Census, while North Texas as a whole was growing faster than anywhere else.
However, while the North Texas area saw growth overall, Dallas County specifically had the largest drop in population of any county in the state. According to the Census Bureau data, Dallas County lost 24,907 people from 2020 to 2021.
But interesting for Twitter, there was alot of anti-Clay Jenkins posts and these memes. If this is Twitter, what is the average person thinking?  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Folks may or may not be following the People's Convoy (I've been updating the GD thread), which is currently going back to California to raise awareness of new Covid-related mandate bills there, and also that new CA abortion bill. Their reasoning for leaving DC was that it's more useful to fight against new rights violations instead of against things already set.
Saturday the will be going from Nashville to Little Rock. From Little Rock their map shows going on IH 30 to Fort Worth, then out IH 20 and IH 10 to El Paso. Assuming their current rate of advance and if they don't have a rest day, they should staging somewhere in the Dallas/Fort Worth area on Sunday night. The specific route and destination will be announced on Sunday morning. In DC and on the way back they have been staying at dirt-track or independent racecourses which have enough parking for all the big rigs and the gaggle of RV and cars with them. Places like Texas Motor Speedway are likely too corporate, but places like BPO or Kennedale speedways might be on their lists. Or other large parking areas like heavy equipment yards. I don't have a recent count but it was something like 40 trucks and 100 other vehicles in the last days in DC. |

Streamers are saying DFW location is not nailed down yet, or at least not released. Rumors are the Convoy may be staying a couple days for a rally/convoys around the populated area. They are due in Los Angeles by April 10 so have a couple days in hand.
If they are still on IH 30 when entering the Dallas area, there would be quite a few good viewing/cheering locations. Rockwall you could park in the Harbor District lots and stand on the Horizon St. bridge. Same for Dalrock Road (the little peninsula of Rowlett in the center of Lake Ray Hubbard), Bass Pro Drive in Garland, or the Loop 12 box diamond near hte junction with US 80. P.s. since I've been cataloguing the various protest signs/ads, here is the event they are going to in LA:
