Soft on crime and beyond...

Kind of reminds me of the movie "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father"

It's worth a watch. Then read up on the impact this film had.

March 5th is going to be another spectacle, and not just in Canada. This is the date the protestors have chosen for a march somewhere (location(s) not yet disclosed), in addition it coincides with the arrival of the american convoy just outside of Washington DC. But forget all that, we will be celebrating 68style's birthday in RS Chat :toot:

I was like dayam how did TOS’d know March 5 is my birthday… but no :okay:

[EDIT] Washington Times is a conservative outlet according to Wiki

Might as well not post any news from -any- news outlet because they are all inherently bias.

This got me pretty angry today.

On the Ottawa residents upset about the convoy:

Quote:

"It's everybody's f--king city, this is the capital of the country. It's not your god-damned city just because you have a 6 figure salary and you work 20 hours a week, you haven't worked a full week in two years. It's sickening, it's sickening," he says in the recording.

MacDonald then thanks the protester for "having the courage and decency to come here" and tells him that "he was not alone."
I'm sorry, you're a SENATOR, arguably the most cushy job in the country. Us taxpayers who "haven't worked a full week in 2 years" pay YOUR salary of $160k per year to work less than 100 days to do fuck all with no accountability. The senate is a massive waste of time and money and here is this fuckface proving exactly why.

I tell you guys. The world is insane. Just insane.

Bouncing Bettys 02-23-2022 03:19 PM

People are attributing the speech of Donald Neil Plett as having swayed the senate in favour of ending the emergency measures, forcing Trudeau to end it before they could vote on it:

Pat King is denied bail.

https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/0...pat-king-bail/

Cormac Mac Sweeney
@cmaconthehill
Replying to @cmaconthehill
BREAKING: Convoy organizer Pat King has been denied bail. The Justice said he believes there is a high risk of King to reoffend, the allegations are serious and there is a likelihood of endangering public safety. He will be kept in custody as he awaits trial #cdnpolice

The Crown has said that, in 2016, King was charged with uttering threats and ordered to hand over his firearms. Prosecutors went on to say that while he did as he was asked, days later, the 44-year-old proceeded to buy a restricted firearm.

As Seymour delivered the ruling this afternoon, King sat in-person in the courtroom at the Ottawa courthouse, wearing a camouflage jacket over a grey hoodie and matching sweat pants. He shifted between hunching forward and leaning up against the wall behind him.

So I saw a lifted truck with smoke stacks (ie the Maple Ridge Special) at a Walmart parking lot yesterday, and he had the Canadian flag stuck on his tailgate, but it was upside-down.

Is that some new symbol? Because I thought it was pretty fucking disrespectful.

Flag upside down is an emergency signal. That's why they've got it upside down to indicate the "emergency" of covid mandates.

I think its a sign that the guy's brain is screwed on upside down.

I have a sudden urge to join a freedom convoy

Il have my own flag as follows:

What an idiot.

People want to keep asking Elon for help, let's get him to launch this fucker into the sun

westopher 02-26-2022 04:44 PM

Elon is cumming his pants over this guy. Anyone who fights against him being taxed he loves automatically.
I’m sitting here in Whistler, with a pitcher of beer, girls in their bras dancing on chairs, about to go snowboarding in the backcountry tomorrow. Freedom is looking pretty fuckin free in this country. I don’t know what people are complaining about. If you aren’t having a good time here, it’s cause you’re boring.

Wouldn't it be funny if all the cyber attacks and sanctions on Russia meant nobody was making new memes to get FreeDummies riled up, and this movement just died because of it? KEKW

Observations from Ottawa over the weekend:

- tons of trucks driving east towards Ottawa, hard to tell if they are just truckers doing work or convoy supporters. likely just truckers working as there were none inside the city of Ottawa
- drove by a handful of pickup trucks/jeeps with "mandate freedom", canada flags, and pro-gun stickers
- city feels normal, no one harassing you if you walk around with or without a mask on
- main streets around parliment hill continue to be blocked off
- lots of police presense at the blocked off intersections
- small group of protesters on parliment hill with canada flags tied to hockey sticks, something about children are not lab tests
- saw one guy running down several blocks while screaming "freedom", i feel like someone bet him to do it, as he was running clearly to the hotel the police were using for their operations, like 15 police cars at least, and multiple officers around. once he got there, i could see police were talking to him, and then he stopped yelling and continued walking on
- skated on the canal for the first time, 7km out of 7.8km was open, it was awesome and nice to see everyone else out there enjoying it. lots of families and kids too.
- also the wind chill was cold AF
- 10/10 would go again every year just for the canal

i've seen enough horror films where the evil entity shows an upside down cross as they're against God.

so upside down symbol means they're against what the symbol stands for?Kappa OpieOP :derp:

A flag flown upside down means "distress" or "danger".
They're indicating they think this country is in danger.

Its another thing that Q-Anon has co-opted to allow members to identify each other so they can meet down at the gas station glory hole or something.

68style 03-01-2022 08:13 AM

The country is in danger... from them lol

Just so bizarre..............

Great68 03-01-2022 05:26 PM

I saw a bunch of these clowns as I was driving with my son this weekend.

My son said "Look Daddy! Those trucks have a bunch of Canadian Flags on them!"

To which I said "Son, those are morons"


A little while later we drove by some more and my son says "Look Daddy, there's the morons!"

:)

Pat King, convoy organizer.

July 2021: Covid is fake! I proved it! https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7e4...ourt-documents

March 2022: Please let me out on bail so I don't catch covid in jail.
