A*shole spray paints memorial at Golden Ears

This is a video on an a*shole spray painting a memorial on boulders at the water falls in Golden Ears the day after his friend drowned there. OK so his friend was an idiot and he is an a*shole. That is not a swimming hole. Sometimes people wade into the water at the top of the waterfalls and get swept over. It's a really stupid thing to do. Then by compounding that stupidity by spray painting bolders in a pristine waterfall shows absolutely no regard for nature or anyone else on the planet. That site has existed for thousands if not millions of years. 

People come from all over the world to vist that spot. I've visited there with family and friends since I was a kid. The primary rule of hiking is pack out what you pack in and don't vandalize a pristine landmark for future generations. 

Obviously this isn't someone born here it's someone fresh off the boat being completely disrespectful to the place he's visiting. Surrey is full of Indo Canadians who are very respectful. These a*sholes spray painting the rock are a disgrace to all of us. If you visit here or anywhere else, you're a guest. Be respectful. This isn't just stupid, it's disrespectful. 

Fort Smith, NWT shooting suspects arrested

Cabin Radio is reporting that "Fort Smith RCMP have named and charged two Alberta men after a shooting early Saturday in the town left three people wounded, one with life-altering injuries. In a Monday news release, police said 22-year-old Sheldon Tan of Calgary is charged with three counts of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, discharging a firearm with intent, possessing property obtained by crime, and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking."

"Durrel Courtoreille, 21, of Edmonton, is accused of deploying bear spray during the same altercation, which video footage shows occurred amid a group of people outside a bar. He is charged with assault with a weapon and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. A third person arrested on Saturday has been released without charge, police said. Regarding the two charged, RCMP emphasized in their news release: Neither of the individuals is from the community. The three victims were transported out-of-territory for medical treatment. All are reported to be stable and expected to recover,” RCMP stated. “However, one individual was reported to have sustained life-altering injuries.”

CBC is reporting that "In addition to being Fort Smith’s mayor, (the Mayor) Dana Fergusson owns the bar where the shooting occurred and was an eyewitness. As the opening event of the Fireweed Festival was drawing to a close, an altercation outside Dirty O'Fergies bar led to shots fired and three people injured. Fergusson was in the parking lot when the shooting happened."

If you shoot someone with a gun, that's attempted murder.

Speaking of drugs in the NWT what ever happened to the charges against Len Peltier? They've magically disappeared again. Can even find them on CSO. 

Remembering Bobby Sands - The Rhythm of Time

16 year old girl fatally shot in Edmonton

City News is reporting that "Police say a 16-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of a teenage girl of the same age. The 16-year-old girl died after being found seriously injured at a townhouse near 139 Avenue and 32 Street on Sunday morning shortly before 7 a.m. Officers were responding to reports of a shooting. An autopsy completed Wednesday determined she died of a gunshot wound, and her death was a homicide."

Tragically, he was related to the girl. That is f*cked up. 

Fauci Top Advisor Pleads Guilty to COVID Conspiracy

Court slashed Alex Jones' libel payout

ABC is reporting that "A Texas court on Friday slashed a $50 million judgment to $1.5 million against Infowars founder Alex Jones after he falsely claimed the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting was a hoax. The ruling does not affect a $1.25 billion judgment against Jones in Connecticut, but is a legal victory for him after he and his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the mass shooting didn’t happen."

I don't follow Alex Jones because I think he's extreme. However, I do think the judgement against him was also extreme. The US First Amendment guarantees free speech. People can say I believe the world is flat. They don't have to pay absurd court judgements. I do think that someone has the right to say that they believe Sandy Hook was faked. I disagree with that position but I do believe someone has the right to say that. Especially when we see so many mass shootings appear orchestrated. 

There's a big difference between saying I think the Sandy Hook shooting was orchestrated and saying I think the Sandy Hook shooting never happened. That's like saying 9/11 never happened. We all saw it. We saw the ruble. We also saw the molten metal. There's a big difference between saying I think 9/11 was an inside job and saying I think 9/11 never happened. 

Yet if someone did say I think 9/11 never happened, who cares? The obscene size of the court award against Alex Jones was clearly to send a message that the land of the free is no longer free. The fact that Alex Jones had a large internet presence may have had something to do with it like a TV station or a newspaper outlet can be sued more that and individual but again the award against Alex Jones was over the top. It's almost as it the lady doth protest too much me thinks. It's like the Orlando shooting.

The Orlando shooting definitely happed but there was way too many rounds fired for there to just be one shooter. Or the Nova Scotia mass shooting. Gabe Wortman was a police agent. So was his fake common-law spouse. That had nothing to do with intimate partner violence. He was a swinger. He was having threesomes with his neighbour and a whole list of young girls. That's not the profile of a jealous ex. None of the firearms used were legally obtained. He got them from the NB RCMP when he was a police agent for them.  

So yeah, we need to talk about the mass shootings that are orchestrated.

You can't get a good deal from a bad man

Trump is the reason we're paying over 2 dollars a litre for gas. Tariffs are taxes. They raise the price of goods for consumers. High gas prices drives up inflation. Netanyahu is holding the world hostage. He is the terrorist. 

Israel's global standing hits all time low. Pride cometh before the fall.

The US booze boycott effects Rand Paul's State of Kentucky and Bill Lee's state Tennessee. Those are good people. Canada's economy is tied to America's economy. When the American economy prospers, Canada's economy follows suit. Trade wars just shoot ourselves in the foot. They are petty and small minded which defines Trump 2.0. Ignore him. No counter tariffs.  

However, fake trade agreements that take away civil liberty are also bad.

Two wrongs don't make one right. Carney wants to match tariff for tariff because tariffs are taxes and Carney wants to raise taxes. 

Flock Cameras & The Surveillance State

What is happening?
Americans have the first amendment and right to free speech, to be able to criticize any foreign government or leader or our own government and own leaders, that we want to.
No, American should be harassed and threatened as they re-enter our country like this.… https://t.co/zpkyT5h34b

100 Former British and French Diplomats Urge Sweeping Sanctions on Israel

The IDF’s decision not to pursue a criminal investigation into the killing of seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, including Jacob Flickinger, a Canadian citizen, is unacceptable.
