I’ve had a long time to think about it, and I realised that I don’t really care how panel discussions are classified by the courts. What I care about is that we are able to defend the spaces in which those free discussions take place and that we do not depend on the state to provide them for us. That defence happens every day, with our unity in the streets, and in those spaces themselves, not in a courtroom.Hundert is considered an honourable friend by several First Nations leaders. Indeed, his contempt for the "justice" as upheld by Dalton ("secret laws") McGuinty, Bill ("the liar") Blair, stephen ("torturing") harper, and Peter ("weepin" and "leakin") McKay, was no doubt forged in his struggling with those First Nations allies. It is against the First Nations that our elites really prefer to take off the gloves, throw truth and humanity into the toilet, and let their colonialist-imperialist evil come into its own.And if we had won the trial it would merely have established that I had not breached my bail conditions on those particular days. It would not establish that the cops and the Crown would never be able to treat another campus-based discussion as a “public demonstration.” The fight is not whether a panel discussion is a public demonstration, the fight is over the existence of such a bail condition itself and it will hopefully be found “unconstitutional” as a result of a challenge that has been put forward by one of my coaccused. (emphasis mine)
So far (as per our legal traditions) Hundert is still innocent of anything until proven guilty of something. But what are we to imagine that a psychopath* like Bill Blair imagined that Hundert and his allies would do? Despite Hundert's and other organizers', arrest, the feared Black Bloc was still able to (OMFG!) smash some windows on Yonge Street. If Hundert had any connection to that (and there's nothing so far to say that he did) what would his freedom during the G20 weekend have changed? The Black Bloc successfully defeats the thousands of cops defending the MTCC and taking all the world's leaders hostage? What drivel. Let's face it; if Hundert had any connection to the rioters, the violence would still have been limited to vandalism along the parade route of the protesters. (What was "Super-Cop" Bill Blair's response to that? "They chose to commit their vandalism along the PARADE ROUTE! Sneaky devils! Who would have guessed!")
I can't help but point out that as of this writing, mainstream media reports that the Mubarak dictatorship has arrested around one-thousand demonstrators. That's the same number as the "forces of order" arrested at the G20. Of course, let's not forget that Mubarak has also reportedly killed around 100 protesters. But the demonstrators are (justifiably) trying to topple his dictatorship. What happened at the G20? Some windows got smashed the day before!
[H/T to Dr. Dawg for being the source of my info on Hundert's release.]
*What other reason could there have been for Blair's insistence on a secret law temporarily removing Canadians' Charter rights around the summit site, which he then deliberately distorted so that his forces believed they could violate the Charter anywhere in the City of Toronto? Blair evidently believes that human rights are as nothing compared to the trauma caused by smashed windows. Of course, if Blair was really so fired up about the danger to the social order caused by the breaking of windows, you'd think the moron would have cops in place to RESPOND when the windows started smashing. Only insanity can explain such inconsistency and incoherence.
