corsicanguppy,

what’s become known as the “Freedom Convoy”

They wish. “Karen convoy” or Needle Weenie Express" is more like it.

also the term ‘protesters’ … if it were any other ethnic group in the country that did this … no one would have a problem labelling them ‘terrorists’

just think of it … if a few hundred all Indigenous protesters had taken control of the capital like these guys did … how many would have been beaten, jailed, bloodied and bruised on the first day? … after a month, it wouldn’t have been if they would have been shot, it would be a question of how many were shot.

Tb0n3,

Trials? What crimes exactly? Lots better protesters to go after. You know. Ones that burn stuff and loot stuff.

grte,

Barber and Lich are charged with mischief, counselling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police.

Barber is facing an additional charge of counselling others to disobey a Feb. 7, 2022 court order that banned loud honking in Ottawa’s downtown core.

Tb0n3,

It really sounds like trumped up charges.

grte,

They’re getting off light, if anything.

Blamemeta,

It is, but hes pro-freedom, and thats bad.

grte,

Just further up the post I saw you commenting suggesting that you didn’t know these guys blocked off an entire section of a city? Shouldn’t you acquaint yourself with the situation to some degree before having an opinion on it?

girlfreddy,

But I heard opinions are as important as facts.

🙄

corsicanguppy,

The only thing trumped up was their movement. Lots of their members were yokel thugs from America.

jcrm,

On top of what the other guy said, a whole lot of those "protestors" frequently assaulted and harassed residents of the city. Oh, and a direct demand of the organizers was to overthrow the democratically elected government. So those crimes.
