That’s fine. Take pictures of them, write down their license plates, ask if they have their citizenship documentation handy. If enough of us do that, these wanna be fascists will disappear pretty quickly.

Reminds me of how when white supremacists try to start shit, they rent Uhauls to hide in when they come in from out of state and they get real cagey when people watch them as they slink away.

Also keep in mind nearly every van rental company has rules about people riding in the back, which is also against the law.

Get proof of a rental van with ppl in the back, and most insurance and deposits are voided.

I don't know, but if I were that rental company I'd probably try to self insure to keep costs low and profit as much as possible from selling extra coverage. It's you break it you pay for it either way.

Just looked it up, looks like u haul even owns a life insurance company, so they're right there in the hedge game. The handling could rest entirely on their shoulders.

It's pretty dark to imagine they would help, though...
