Members of the self-proclaimed People's Convoy did not receive a warm welcome in Oakland, California.
The USA branch of the meager movement—which came after United States' conservative funded protests against pandemic public health protocols occurred in Canada—has been traveling around the country with little success, SF Gatereported.
Their efforts so far have been consistently thwarted by locals and authorities in the areas they travel to.
The Bay Area was no different.
As reported by Rolling Stone, the conservative group of disgruntled truck drivers were in town to hold a protest at the home of Democratic Assembly member Buffy Wicks over an abortion-related bill Wicks is supporting.
People's Convoy members dispersed from Wick's home once police arrived.
But as they tried to leave the area, the group drove by a Safeway supermarket where teenagers armed with eggs were waiting for them.
Members of \u2018People\u2019s Convoy\u2019 drove across country from MD to the Bay Area in CA. They went to the home of Dem Assembly member Buffy Wicks where they honked horns and used bullhorns against her support of abortion rights. After leaving, they were pelted by eggs by young residents.pic.twitter.com/DroqPk2G7o— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1650827103
Twitter user @RonFilipkowski shared a clip of the moment when the kids started to pelt the trucks with raw eggs.
The person apparently recording the moment commented:
"Well it's cause there's a Safeway right there that sells eggs."
Another user called @VeniceDerek shared a video of the egging from a different angle.
My son (junior at Cal) was at a cafe when he saw a ton of Berkeley HS students run into that Safeway and come out with a shopping carts filled with eggs. Enjoy!pic.twitter.com/AnOgZtQcQ1— Derek (@Derek) 1650827762
People on Twitter admired the youths' actions.

Don't bring your MAGA-hatted, clown-car, "people's" convoy to the Bay Area. We know how to deal with your crap here. Even our kids can chase you out of town with eggs.https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Peoples-Convoy-chased-out-of-Bay-Area-17122881.php\u00a0\u2026— Kagan MacTane (he/him) (@Kagan MacTane (he/him)) 1650923528
So the "People's Convoy," having been defeated by DC traffic, has now been reduced to driving around to harass pro-abortion-rights legislators and getting chased off by kids throwing eggs:https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Peoples-Convoy-chased-out-of-Bay-Area-17122881.php\u00a0\u2026— Paul Waldman (@Paul Waldman) 1650891512
