Vernon’s Lake Country RCMP have decided they can do whatever they want, the true hallmark of police state tactics. The case revolves around a man and his legally-owned pellet gun that was seized by RCMP constables and was reported by the Vernon Morning Star newspaper on May 16, 2012.
Someone called the RCMP and reported a man was shooting at ducks with a handgun. That call turned out to be false, and the RCMP did not lay any charges. Where the police state thuggery begins is when the RCMP constables seized the legally-owned private property of the individual who owns the pellet gun.
You see, owning pellet guns is perfectly legal in Canada. Yes, even when they resemble actual firearms. You can buy these pellet guns at all kinds of stores across the nation including national retail chains like Canadian Tire.
RCMP Constable Kris Clark spoke to the media and gave the following statement.
“The pellet gun they were using could’ve certainly been mistaken for a real firearm, even up close.”
That is quite true. Many do resemble real firearms, however that does not change the fact that they are NOT, in fact, firearms. I have no issue with the RCMP investigating the report. In fact I would be quite disgusted with them if they hadn’t. It is their response to that investigation, however, that raises my hackles, as it should yours.
The Vernon Morning Star newspaper article went on to state this:
The gun was seized by police and will be destroyed. No charges have been recommended.
This is nothing less than police state thuggery.
Neither the RCMP nor any other police force in Canada has the legal authority to destroy the private property of Canadian citizens. The only person who can order the destruction of private property is a judge in a court of law.
Since there have been no charges laid, there is no court hearing and no court order from a judge ordering the destruction of this man’s pellet gun.
In short, the RCMP is breaking the law.
Whether or not a person is annoying is not just cause for them to be harassed by police, yet that is exactly what is happening to Fredericton blogger Charles LeBlanc.
Charles LeBlanc is, by many accounts, an annoying blogger. He has been called rude and belligerent as well as names that are for worse on many occasions. His blog posts are often rambling pieces that are hard to follow.
All that aside, Charles performs a valuable service to the community.
That service? Pointing out the truth about politics, both city and provincial, in the province’s capital. He also shines the light on how police treat the less fortunate citizens of Fredericton.
In LeBlanc’s sights are the Fredericton Police Force (FPF), who seems intent on proving Leblanc’s accusations correct.
Leblanc is on welfare, as far as I can discern. He’s got some issues, but hey, name me a person on this planet that doesn’t and I’ll buy them a hero ring!
While he seems unable to hold down a job, LeBlanc’s passion and ability to bring issues to light in Fredericton are nothing short of amazing.
Charles LeBlanc roams the streets all hours of the day and night. He often videotapes police interacting with citizens, and sometimes, well, let’s just say the police aren’t acting in the best possible manner in some cases.
That’s where LeBlanc’s troubles with the Fredericton Police Force seem to start. he videotaped Fredericton Police Force members beating the crap out of someone. That someone happened to be a Canadian Forces soldier.
Charles blogged about it and, apparently posted the video on YouTube. That caused no end of grief for the Fredericton Police Force, and rightfully so. Since then the FPF appear to be on mission to “get” The Blogger, the name Charles uses for himself.
New Brunswick resident Lawrence Manzer has an excellent timeline of events for LeBlanc’s problems with police, in which he asked the question “Is it Time that Fredericton Police Chief Barry McKnight Resigns?”
I would suggest the answer to that question is “Yes.”
Members of the police are public servants. As such, the public has a right to protest when the police act undignified or worse, as in the case where they beat the crap out of a Canadian soldier. Even welfare recipients who blog are citizens, a fact that obviously is lost on the Fredericton Police Force and Chief McKnight.
Here’s a tip. If you don’t want people protesting outside the police station, try acting in a manner worthy of respect. It’s just a thought…

[Alleged] sexual predator Shalendra Kumar SHARMA, 43, of Surrey, BC, was released from custody on May 9, 2012, and is now awaiting trial for sexual assault and other violent crimes against women. Additional victims and information about Mr. Sharma is being sought by investigators who are also warning women and the general public that Sharma is dangerous and extreme caution should be taken if he is encountered.
Sharma was recently charged with four counts of sexually assaulting four different women, from 1994 to 2011. He is also charged with four counts of confining the women, and one count of kidnapping. In the two incidents from 2011 Sharma is also charged with two counts of assault, and one count of uttering threats.
On December 4, 2011, the Burnaby RCMP was made aware of a possible sexual assault and robbery against a woman who had been taken to a Burnaby location from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and began working closely with the Vancouver Police Department.
A second assault occurred in Burnaby on December 18, 2011, which police believed was linked to the December 4 assault. Again, the Burnaby RCMP and Vancouver PD investigators worked closely together, cross-referencing files in PRIME and other police databases. The work of a VPD sex crimes analyst allowed key pieces of the puzzle to be linked together across multiple jurisdictions. Read More »

Hello there…..its me again……. Don Laird…
Behold…..The Arab Spring…….. Do you recall the bloody fools who heralded this as the liberation of Middle Eastern flower children, dusky hued flower children clad in love-beads and smelling of patchouli and granola, flower children who wanted nothing more than to frolic through the groves of fig trees?
These bloody Liberal, Leftist fools should be shot with a ball of their own feces. In reality this was a carefully planned coup d’état………..jackals waited in the wings………now they take center stage…… placing butcher knives in the hands of every muslim…..we were warned, we ignored the warnings…..as they say………the enemy is now at the gates……..
This is not a couple of bald guys with beer guts and swastika tattoos…….
These jackals number in the thousands….in the tens and hundreds of thousands……..and all we do is blog……..all we do is write letters……..all we do is dither……indecisive, afraid and uncertain……..and they laugh and laugh and laugh………certain in the knowledge that we will do their bidding and march meekly to our own subjugation and slaughter……..they sit and sneer and smirk and put a finer edge on their weapons……
Here in Canada and the United States of America they conduct their murderous business with virtual impunity, safe in the knowledge that they are protected by the choking cloak of multiculturalism and socialist politically correct madness……… Read More »

The Honourable Vic Toews, Minister of Public Safety
Public Safety Canada
House of Commons
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6
Dear Minister:
On Thursday, March 29, 2012 in the House of Commons you said:
“I can indicate our Conservative government does not support treating law-abiding hunters, farmers and sports shooters as criminals.”
The sad fact is that law-abiding gun owners will continue to be treated worse than criminals even after the long-gun registry is scrapped. If your statement is true, please explain why does your government still treats millions of honest, trustworthy, upright gun owners as more dangerous than the 324,723 persons prohibited by the courts from owning firearms?
For example, licensed gun owners who fail to report their change of address within thirty days could go to jail for up to two years while those prohibited from possessing firearms face no such requirement or criminal penalty. Also, the homes and businesses of licensed gun owners are subject to “inspections” but not those convicted criminals on the list of those prohibited from owning firearms.
And pity the more than 338,000 unfortunate gun owners who have let their firearms licenses expire or the millions who forgot to get a license in the first place because they wait nervously for the police (and sometimes even a SWAT team) to arrive to search their homes, seize and destroy their legally acquired property and charge them with unlawful possession of a firearm under Sections 91 or 92 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
I say “unfortunate” because even though they had no criminal intent and have not committed an unsafe or violent act, they could go to jail for two, five or even ten years simply for failing to get a piece of paper from your government. Read More »

This question has come up this week in the wake of the refusal of at least 5 provincial Chief Firearms Officers across Canada to obey the law of the land as expressed by the passage of Bill C-19.
As most already know, Bill C-19 struck down the requirements for people to register their non-restricted firearms. Ontario’s Chief Firearms Officer is leading the pack in declaring Bill C-19 null and void and that they (the CFOs) will interpret Section 58 of the Firearms Act to mean whatever they want.
Section 58.1 of the Firearms Act reads as follows:
58. (1) A chief firearms officer who issues a licence, an authorization to carry or an authorization to transport may attach any reasonable condition to it that the chief firearms officer considers desirable in the particular circumstances and in the interests of the safety of the holder or any other person.
The Ontario CFO is interpreting this section of the Firearms Act to mean he can impose any condition he wants to a Business Firearms License. After all, as CFO, he is the one who gets to decide what “reasonable” means. The fact that this “reasonable” condition is in direct conflict with Bill C-19 is entirely beside the point. At least as far as the Ontario CFO is concerned, anyway.
Dr. Mike Ackermann recently wrote:
“What do you call a state where the police refuse to obey the laws of the land, and instead attempt to make up the law themselves? Here’s a hint, we swear every November 11th, ‘Lest we forget, Never again!’”
Dr. Ackermann is, of course, 100% correct.
Canada sent soldiers to fight and die in wars in foreign lands so this bovine excrement would never reach our shores. Unfortunately those brave young men and women apparently died in vain for the Police State mentality has indeed taken root right here at home. Read More »

If you enjoy the articles I write here on ChristopherDiArmani.com, how about buying me a coffee to show your appreciation?Allen West is the kind of leader America needs. He’s the kind of leader every nation ought to have. A man who comprehends what Rights and Freedoms mean and where they come from.
For those who believe America must have a black president, Allen West fits the bill. He’s a REAL black man, not a half-black wannabe like the current occupant of the White House.
For those who believe in traditional conservative values, Allen West is the real deal.
For those who believe a leader should have experience in actually leading his fellow man, Allen West delivers. He retired from the United States Army after 20 years of active duty service, including multiple deployments to Iraq, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
What I love about this guy is that he says exactly what is on his mind. He does not sit on a fence.
And if you’re a blathering “chucklehead” as he likes to call them, then you’ll have a hard time being taken seriously by him.
A chucklehead is a person who is so inept and incompetent that all you can do is look at them and laugh,” West said.
Precisely.
In calling West’s latest speech a “Must Watch” TheRightScoop.com wrote:
This is the most incredible speech, ever. Allen West comes out swinging hard against the left and doesn’t stop until his speech is over. He hits the left over their collectivist ideology. He hits them over their collectivist policies. And he encourages Republicans to “find the enemy and fight them wherever they are” just like American paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd airborne did the night before D-day. He said Republicans must be like sharks that smell blood in the water because, as he puts it so well, we don’t win playing defense. We win on offense.
I’m telling you, this man is a serious force to be reckoned with and he’s just getting started.
If you want to see how a REAL black man deals with the world, then you’ve gotta check out the real deal: Allen West.
Enjoy the next 20 minutes with Allen West. You will NOT be disappointed. I guarantee it.
