Riots/protests affecting ford?

Heard a rumor that the riots had affected an area where either ford parts or trucks/cars were made. Not sure if this is true or not. Anyone heard anything about this? Also want to add that what is going on is very sad............hope situation gets better fast.....

I'd imagine if there are riots near any of their suppliers or assembly plants, then I'm sure there are going to be some delays at the least. It is very sad what the rioters and looters are doing.

Discussing this in another thread. If you get caught in a mob riot, take the spare tire heat shield off and use it as body armor

There’s a video circling around of looters breaking into a dealership and stealing a car from the show room floor....breaking through the glass and all to get out onto street. Don’t think it was a ford dealer though but pretty insane...

Saw one looter steal a forklift. 🤷‍♂️ He’s probably heading to a Chevy dealership to stack all the trucks on top of each other. The tailpipe design is perfect for forklifts. 😂

Saw news blip that F150 plant workers were sent home early due to running out of seats, but have not seen or heard any info about Ford Assembly Plant being impacted.

They should be protesting that Ford hasn't brought out the new Bronco yet.

That was up in Canada. I think 9 trucks were stolen from a dealer lot. I haven’t heard a follow up to the original story.
