Three men found guilty of mischief in 2022 border blockade at Coutts, Alta.

Blackpowder, who took firearms to the protest? Hopefully the truth will come out. There seems to be some confusion about these guns.

All i know is the news.
You're saying it was another High River?

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the blockade and a lot of guns, just sayin. I wasn’t there either but wish I was and could comment with some certainty.

It is worth noting that the actual peqceful blockaders immediately agreed to vacate when it became known that other parties may have been using their protest for their own possibly violent ends.
That would indicate that there were two unrelated factions involved.
Painting them all with the same brush would be no different than claiming Chuck must be burning down cities and embezzling donations because he is involved with BLM.

Everybody there was participating in an illegal blockade of a road and border crossing. So yes we can paint them with that same brush.

Protest all you want, but protest groups don't get to take away the freedom of other people and business. If you do, you are breaking the law.

Sure can’t take away the Trudeau government’s job, his main goal in life is taking away people’s freedoms!

[chuckChuck]

It was the provinces not Trudeau who put most of covid measures and mandates in place to save lives and prevent the health care system from collapsing.

[TSIPP]

You’re trying to say that the province’s initiated arive scam, closed the boarders, restricted train and air travel?

[foragefarmer]

Bottom line is 12 Albertan citizens who made up the jury, independently ruled that the Coutts blockade ring leaders broke the law, therefore anybody else participating in blockade broke the law.

Obviously, some of you just can't handle justice, the truth, and the law.

You can't break the law and screw with your fellows citizens ecomonic livelihoods just because the government in power isn't the one you voted for.

When we have a tyrannical government it’s the duty of the citizens to fight back.

the 3 themselves said they broke the law as it is wrote ,and expected the guilty outcome ,but why are they more responsible than everybody else that was there ? lesson from that is don't step forward to negotiate with cops , and we can handle justice just fine forage ,but that justice also applys to government ,very easy to talk now forage but think back to what was going on , old folk abandoned in care homes for days etc , mandates were ruled all unlawful, where is justice there ? , huge problem is why their was protests to start with , shud never have come to that

[blackpowder]

Someone explain why these laws can't be applied evenly.

Are you suggesting that if these three weren't white, male and protesting against liberal policies, the outcome of this may have been different?

[blackpowder]

I don't wear anybody else's hat but my own. However the answer to your question is very clear.

[cropgrower]

they shud have had pride flags !

That of course is the correct analysis of the situation.
The problem is, one man's tyranny is another man's socialist Utopia in the making.
