From CTV:
NAPANEE, Ont. -- The man who led aboriginal protests that snarled traffic on Canada's busiest highway and blocked a major rail line is in custody after turning himself in to Ontario Provincial Police on Thursday.
Mr. Brant's actions on the National Day of Protest were certainly controversial, not supported by Assembly of First Nations Grand Chief Phil Fontaine, and possibly counter-productive. However, if the mark of a committed activist (as opposed to a mere opportunist) is that they accept the legal consequences of their actions, then Mr. Brant has surely done this, and deserves credit for so doing.
At least he didn't attempt to escape wearing a Burqa.
Read what I said, pea brain. You want me to write things out phonetically?
ReplyDeleteIsn't the word "terrorist" a little extreme?
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand why he's getting so much attention - it's playing right into his plans.
Enough about this guy already!
don't worry about crazoid anony, just one of kate's good friends in hatred from SDA. apparently, according to the batshit nutbars of SDA, this guy is a "terrorist" who "kidnapped" the people who were driving down the 401. the scariest part is, they truly believe the blockade was a mass-kidnapping. at least that was about the nicest thing said on her site (the rest was: "won't somebody murder these drunken indians already"; "if i were there i would run them down in my car") and alot worse. really scary hate speech...and they have the gall to call this guy a terrorist. from all his public statements he is far more civil and rational than the terrorists at SDA.
ReplyDeleteLook up the definition of terrorist yourself, pea brain, in the criminal code. And remember this guy blockaded a public road and claimed to be armed. Let somebody else not from an untouchable minority group try that to promote their political objectives and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Randy Hillier.

wait till the lawyers get his ass in the hot seat.
ReplyDeleteTime to break this media loving skank into little bitty $broke pieces
Canadian National is slapping another lawsuit on Mohawk protester Shawn Brant for blocking its main Toronto-to-Montreal rail line.
CN is suing for financial damages incurred when rail traffic was cancelled June 29, Hallman said.
The amount has not been specified, although CN has said that $103 million worth of freight is carried on the line during an average 24-hour period.
Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole.
Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole.
ReplyDeleteKeep talking, hate-bag. The law will certainly take into consideration the radicalising effect of hate speech you SDA freaks spew.
Anyway, good luck to CN in its attempt to string up a poverty-stricken Indian to recoup a fraction of its yearly profits. I'm sure it'll win the public relations war on this one.
This should get the pea brained up in an uproar.Here is what a former RCMP officer and police psychologist in British Columbia consulted by the OPP on Natives and native protests had to say:
ReplyDelete....“This is Canada’s dirty little secret, how aboriginal people have been treated. I’ve told police before, ‘The best thing you can do is cross the line and stand over there with them."...
so get off the pot and grab a clue,terrorist pleeeeease
"Oh, don't tell me you ADMIRE this terrorist?"
ReplyDeleteDo you admire Lanark Landowner's Association President and Conservative Candidate for Lanark Randy Hillier?
Because as part of his "rural revolution" he did the same damn thing - snareled traffic on the 401, downtown Toronto and downtown Ottawa.
The. Same. Damn. Thing.
So you are either a hypocrite, a racist or both.
I'll bet both.
People should fully educate themselves on all the history of the lands and first nations people before they judge. Terrorism is flying a fucking plane into a building full of people, not camping out on a highway.
ReplyDeleteThe Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte own the land they were on and can do what we please with it under a law that is not CANADIAN. THEY ARE A SOVERIGN NATION! One that has a law that goes back alot longer that 140 years. I could go on and on but people will have their own opinion either way. To voice that opinion without fully knowing what you're talking about is pure ignorance.
I say we look at what is a real threat, and what are manufactured threats. Perhaps the history life of Mr. Brant should be looked at in detail perhaps contrasting actions of the U.S or even Canada in some areas of the world. In summarization...Red Power!
