    Cybergal...this is my brother. I would like to point out he was the only truck leading our protest parade. There was also two citizens in their vehicles (Lorenzo Serna and Shannon Springer...co-organizers,) as well as two St. Paul PD officers riding with bro and a few DOT and SPPD unmarked vehicles participating. The truckers at the truck stops either did not want to participate, or were concerned about problems because of all the other protest problems occuring - even though we put extreme effort co-operating with the SPPD regarding the activity, and actions, for our parade, and assured those drivers with concerns we had taken steps to prevent problems. H3ll, there were several SPPD cruisers all along the route looking forward to seeing a long line of trucks parading through their city.

    We did receive info later that evening from Sargent Laurence (one of the officers riding with bro) regarding about 50 to 100 trucks being turned away later in the day trying to run the parade route. Thanks to those which tried to make it. St. Paul Police will welcome any future actions by me and brother because of our professional co-operation. Maybe we can attempt something again when the time's right.
