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

      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.

      Nice whataboutism.

      We can prosecute these idiots for their crimes while prosecuting other people for their crimes too.

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

          The article makes it pretty clear what they’re accused of doing. They also posted about it in tons of places and recorded themselves doing it, so as humans with eyes, ears, and brains, we can conclude that they actually did this.

          So… yeah.

          Yeah, it’s not like they did real horrible crap like providing vaccines or telling kids that trans people exist.

          I’m saying they did nothing.

          You should learn about anything, but maybe start with the actual crimes these actual halfwits did.

      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.
