As most in the know in gun circles has been aware of for some time, the RCMP is demanding that owners of a specific .22 calibre rifle, the Armi Jager AP-80, turn in their rifles for destruction without compensation. This rifle that merely looks like, as Brian Lilley said on his Sun TV show Byline, "the dreaded AK-47", but has no parts in common with it and cannot be converted … [Read more...]
Merritt Staff Sergeant Stuart Seib: Reason #9 to Dump the BC RCMP
Merritt, British Columbia, has the distinction of being the latest RCMP detachment run by an [alleged] criminal and also, it would appear, cocaine addict. Staff Sergeant Stuart Seib was arrested on Tuesday and charged with stealing cocaine from the RCMP lockup the following day, after he was relieved of command of the Merritt RCMP Detachment. RCMP Southeast District … [Read more...]
Big Brother Has Come Too Far in 10 Years
The hallway stank of boiled cabbage and old rag mats, both government-issued. At one end of the hallway, a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man about 45, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no … [Read more...]
RCMP Corporal Benjamin Monty Robinson: Reason #4 for BC to Dump the RCMP
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson is pretty much the poster-boy for everything that's wrong with the RCMP, both here in British Columbia and across the nation. Corporal Robinson’s case shows us the stark, horrific reality of the inner workings of the RCMP itself: how the RCMP has no real desire for accountability, the incredible lengths the RCMP will go to in order to … [Read more...]
Trash Police March on Homes
From our friends in the UK comes a tale of environmental woe: Robin Hood always feared the Sheriff of Nottingham, but always managed to get the better of him. Robin robbed the rich to give to the poor. The people of Nottingham, UK need Robin back soon because the local Sheriff’s department have found ways to rob the poor to give to the rich. In 2010, the Council of … [Read more...]
All Hail the Lemonade Freedom Martyrs! Once again, lemonade vendors are arrested and charged, this time in Washington, DC
In a show of government thuggery at its best, Capitol Hill Police arrested people for the dastardly crime of "selling illegal lemonade" on Capitol Hill. I was particularly impressed with the one female cop who repeatedly abused anyone having the audacity to film her stupidity in live, living color. This badge-packing bitch ought to be ashamed of herself, as should every … [Read more...]
Sentencing Double-Standard rears its ugly head again. Kelowna RCMP Staff Sergeant gets a wrist-slap for assault and firearm charges
Imagine, if you will, that you have a very bad day. You go home, punch your wife in the face 6 or 8 times while your children watch in horror, then you put a gun to your wife's head and threaten to kill her. Your children watch the whole terrible scene go down. You are arrested and charged, and you plead guilty to assault and careless use of a firearm. What sentence do … [Read more...]
Oak Park Garden Nazi backs down from sending Julie Bass to prison for growing a garden
Thanks to my great friend Jane Gaffin for that awesome line... "Oak Park Garden Nazis." What else do you call the bureaucratic buffoon who threatens to send someone to prison for three months for the heinous crime of growing a vegetable garden on her own property? Julie Bass is a homeowner in Oak Park, Michigan. Her front yard was torn up by city workers when they were … [Read more...]
Toronto Police just love strip-searching people for almost any reason at all
Toronto Police just love strip-searching people for almost any reason at all. So the Toronto Star report would have us believe, at least. According to their report, roughly 60% of all people arrested in 2010 were strip-searched by Toronto Police Services personnel. Previously-released figures on the numbers of strip searches show this number has been steadily climbing over … [Read more...]

Blastogram: Statistics Canada is Revenue Canada’s Watchdog
I am blessed to live in a quiet sanctum and neighbourhood that are agreeable to going about my writing and research undisturbed. One afternoon I nearly jumped out of my clothes when that serenity was suddenly shattered by an enormous pounding reminiscent of a doorbusting riot squad. I always expected when the Nazi SS came for me it would be a 5 o’clock morning surprise, not … [Read more...]
Barack Obama’s Justice Department sues Sheriff Joe Arpaio for daring to do the job they refuse to do!
The Pretender-In-Chief of America really has a lot of balls... It's astounding to me that Obama and his [alleged] Justice Department minions REFUSE to deal with illegal immigration, preferring instead to spend their time actively encouraging the ATF to sell guns to Mexican drug dealers so those drug dealers can murder American border patrol agents. The Obama Justice … [Read more...]
No more police charges in Adam Nobody case says Ontario Special Investigations Unit
I'm shocked. Utterly shocked. Yeah, like the whole world didn't see this coming. Despite having video footage and a ton of other information, no one is able to identify any of the cops that swarmed and beat the crap out of Adam Nobody during last year's G20 riots. Is it just me, or are you disgusted with both the Toronto Police Service and the Ontario Special … [Read more...]
Florida Police arrest a 12-year-old for farting. Have they lost their minds?
Schools have always had their fair share of "problem children", but we used to actually be able to cope with them in a reasonable and sensible manner. Not so any more. A scan of headlines across America for just this past week showed me some bizarre and horrifying examples of how we in North America are doing our best to instill an abiding sense of fear and terror of police … [Read more...]
New York is screwed up. What else do you call threatening to charge the man who saved a cop’s life?
I read this story a while back about the school safety agent who helped save a cop's life in New York. The part where they were threatening to charge the guy who picked up the wounded cop's gun and shot back at the attackers is what caught my eye. Imagine that... It takes a pretty sick prosecutor to threaten charges against someone who's actually one of the heroes of the … [Read more...]
Buddy Tavares sues RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler and I hope he wins
Buddy Tavares, the man [allegedly] kicked brutally in the face by RCMP thug... I mean constable Geoff Mantler, has filed a lawsuit against Constable Geoff Mantler, Mantler's female partner, the Attorney General of BC and the City of Kelowna. Fantastic! If there is any common sense left in our justice system, this lawsuit should be a slam-dunk, especially considering that … [Read more...]
Lethbridge Constable Michael Fielding demoted for discreditable conduct
Lethbridge Regional Police Service Constable Michael Fielding had a rough year last year. Despite all the personal troubles and loss of family members, he actually stood and faced the music for his discreditable conduct. Fielding used his police access to the Canadian Police Information System (CPIC) to check up on his ex-girlfriend and the man Fielding suspected of being … [Read more...]
NYPD Rapist Cop acquitted even after he admits on tape having sex with the victim
Former NYPD Officers Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata were immediately fired after they were acquitted of rape and burglary charges. While that might sound strange, these two deserved it. They were actually fired for their convictions on official misconduct charges for returning to the woman's apartment after "helping her" into her building, where she was then [allegedly] … [Read more...]
Rookie Woodstock Constables violate Charter, get case tossed
"This could only happen in Canada, the judge rules and that's it," said Charlie Dalgarno, past-president of the Woodstock Royal Canadian Legion. Legion members were very upset with the ruling by Judge Marietta Roberts that set alleged swastika graffiti painter Christopher Saggau free. Saggau was accused of painting swastikas on the Victoria Park Cenotaph the night before … [Read more...]
Emily Good: Arrested for standing on her own property and filming police
Stand on your own property, videotape police doing a traffic stop and get arrested. As utterly bizarre as it sounds, that's exactly what happened to Emily Good on the evening of May 12th, 2011. Police had pulled over someone right in front of her home. She stepped out onto her front lawn and began recording the police officers' actions. Saying "I don't feel safe with … [Read more...]
