Back on February 14, 2012 I wrote the following under the title “There is a special place in hell reserved for you, Officer Ladmarald Cates”: When you dial 9-1-1 you expect the police to arrive and help you. The very last thing you think you’re doing is calling Dial-A-Rapist, yet that’s exactly what happened to a 19-year-old Milwaukee single mom who cannot be identified by … [Read more...]

Kimmirut, Nunavut, and Sir Robert Peel’s 9 Principles of Policing
Fascinating news out of Kimmirut, Nunavut, yesterday. Kimmirut is located roughly 120 kilometres south of Iqaluit and is where RCMP Constable Douglas Scott was murdered in 2007. The tiny town has a long tradition of hating the RCMP enough to shoot at them. I’m sure that while most people in Canada don’t hate the RCMP enough to shoot at them, most people in Canada also … [Read more...]
Documentary: James Nachtwey – War Photographer
Hello there...... If you have a chance, please watch the video below. It's a documentary about the life and work of a war photographer, James Nachtwey. I have always admired, deeply admired, those men and women who put themselves, their souls and their sanity, into the palm of Death himself to bring us shattered fragments of Mankind's brutality, to bring us face to face … [Read more...]
Justice for Orion Hutchinson and his family? Not a chance. Disgraced former RCMP Corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson plays the race card and wins
I was disgusted but not surprised that another piece of garbage in an RCMP uniform, Constable Geoff Mantler, walked free the other day, acquitted by Judge Takahashi. I saw that one coming a mile off. Reading the news, however, that arguably the most disgraceful person to ever wear an RCMP uniform, former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson, will never set foot inside a prison cell … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler WALKS on assault charge, as predicted
As much as I would like to have been surprised by Geoff Mantler being acquitted of assaulting Manjit Singh Bhatti on August 30, 2010, sadly I am not. I predicted he would be acquitted on July 12, 2012 in my article titled Constable Geoff Mantler’s Fate in Assault Trial awaits Judge Mark Takahashi’s decision. While my good friend and un-indicted co-conspirator Jane Gaffin … [Read more...]
Warren Kinsella is “a fucking idiot” who despises YOUR Rights and Freedoms
Warren Kinsella, touted as a "Liberal badboy", showed his true colors a week ago on his blog and again last night on Sun TV. Warren Kinsella despises your Liberty. Warren Kinsella despises your Charter Rights. Warren Kinsella believes you have absolutely no right to defend yourself from a violent attacker, especially if you're using a handgun to do so. Warren Kinsella … [Read more...]
City of Toronto reverses decision to ban medal-winning sport shooters from Ontario Summer Games promotional event
Cockroaches and politicians have one thing in common. Both scurry for the shadows when the spotlight is on them. In the case of Toronto politicians, that spotlight is public displeasure with their latest stupid decision. As I wrote yesterday, gold-medal sport shooters Chris Baldwin, 18, and Sabrina Sergeant, 17, were told they were not welcome as Ambassadors to promote the … [Read more...]
Ontario Summer Games Committee to award-winning target shooters: You’re Not Welcome Here
Politicians and bureaucrats have an incredible talent for sending precisely the wrong message. In this regard the Government of Ontario and the City of Toronto have combined for a new all-time low: blaming two award-winning sport shooting youths for Toronto’s ongoing gun and gang crime problem. Chris Baldwin, 18, and Sabrina Sergeant, 17, are both very accomplished … [Read more...]
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson finally quits in disgrace prior to sentencing hearing
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson has finally done something honourable… if you can call quitting in disgracebefore you’re fired as “honourable”, that is, right before you’re about to be sentenced for obstruction of justice. As regular readers of my columns will already know, Corporal Monty Robinson has been on paid vacation for the past 4 years. His troubles seemingly started … [Read more...]
Why every mass shooting has the same common denominator: A GUN-FREE ZONE
The mass shooting at the Aurora, Colorado, Cinemark Theatre on July 20, 2012 is a tragedy. There is no doubt about that. It was, however, a preventable tragedy (at least as far as the high body count goes) except for one thing: all of those fine Colorado folks did what law-abiding people always do... they obeyed the rules. What rule? The rule issued by Cinemark that … [Read more...]
Ontario’s so-called “conservative” Tim Hudak claims to believe in Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Speech is such an invaluable right, but like what happens with any one of our precious Rights and Freedoms when it is taken for granted, those of us living in the western world don’t appreciate its value. We fail to understand what it is like to live in Iran or Egypt or China, where simply speaking your mind about the government can land you in prison for the rest … [Read more...]
Nova Scotia provincial Judge Gregory Lenehan stupidly joins the “ban camp”
Anything that might possibly be used as a weapon should just be banned. That’s the flawed logic of left-wing idiots like Toronto city councilor Adam Vaughan and now, apparently, Nova Scotia Provincial Court Judge Gregory Lenehan. It’s just so much easier to ban a physical item than do something about the moron using something as a weapon, isn’t it? After all, this is … [Read more...]
Armed Robbers Take Heed: Don’t Mess With Old People
There will always be individuals in society who believe they are entitled to the contents of someone else's wallet without ever having earned it. Generally we call these people thieves, although there is an argument to be made that the same is true of welfare recipients, but that's for another day. Today I'll simply deal with the scum who personally like to steal from … [Read more...]
Common Sense from Toronto City Council? Who’d have thunk it!
As Matt Gurney of the National Post said, it was a rare outbreak of sanity in Toronto as the Toronto City Council voted against banning bullets inside the city limits. The city that voted so stupidly to ban plastic bags managed to find an ounce or two of common sense this past Thursday as they voted down moronic city councilor Adam Vaughan’s motion to ban bullets. At 28-13 … [Read more...]
Canadian Justice: Sentence the Victim of the crime to 3 times the prison sentence as the actual criminal
The message from police and Crown prosecutors is very clear: “Don’t get involved. Leave crime-fighting to the professionals.” That is precisely the wrong message to send to Canadians, yet that is exactly the message sent in the case of grocer David Chen in Toronto and other cases like his. Chen was acquitted at trial, luckily, but the process is the punishment and that … [Read more...]
Constable Geoff Mantler’s Fate in Assault Trial awaits Judge Takahashi’s decision
It’s not surprising that Provincial Court Judge Mark Takahashi has reserved his decision in RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler's police brutality trial in Kelowna, BC. Judge Takahashi has two conflicting stories to reconcile, as well as figure out who to believe. The victim in this case, Manjit Singh Bhatti, is an admitted crack cocaine addict with a history of substance abuse. … [Read more...]
It’s Adam Vaughn’s Wet Dream Come True! Washington, DC, charges Veteran for Possession of Unregistered Ammunition
Toronto City Councillor and all-around idiot Adam Vaughn must be just about wetting himself at the thought of being able to send decent Canadians to prison for the heinous “crime” of owning a legal product, namely ammunition. No doubt Vaughn’s inspiration for his blatantly stupid bylaw proposal to outlaw ammunition in Toronto comes from that great bastion of stupid gun laws, … [Read more...]
Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler finally faces the first of two assault charges
Thug cop and Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler is well-known to anyone who follows cases of RCMP misconduct. In January 2011 he made international headlines after video surfaced of him [allegedly] brutally kicking Buddy Tavares in the face as Tavares knelt on the ground in front of him. I hate having to preface that comment with [allegedly] but even thugs like RCMP … [Read more...]
Self-Defense: A Tale of Two Police Forces and how they deal with citizen self-defense
The response to armed self-defense in the home during a home invasion is so different in Canada and America that it borders on the bizarre. I’ll use a recent example of the case of a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix, Arizona to make my case. First I will explain the facts of the case, then I’ll delve into the response of the Phoenix Police Department and then, finally, explain … [Read more...]
America is in Trouble and Treason Reigns Supreme in the White House
This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what can be loosely referred to as the run up to a civil war in defiance of a tyrant. Across America we are finding the US federal government meddling in the affairs of private citizens, municipalities and states. From SB1070 in Arizona, to the judicial activism in Oklahoma, to the US Justice Dept trampling the will of citizens who seek to … [Read more...]
Poorly-Written Laws Are Criminal by Jane Gaffin
"To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of (any nation’s) system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the … [Read more...]
US Supreme Court rules lying about receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor is perfectly legal, even if it’s immoral
The Stolen Valor Act made it a crime for a person to lie about being a valid recipient of any military decoration or medal. That crime was punishable by up to a year in prison if the offense involved the military’s highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. This is precisely the medal that Xavier Alvarez lied about receiving. In 2007 he appeared before the Three … [Read more...]
Priscilla Dang sends her would-be muggers packing
In what can only be described as the bad guys getting precisely what they deserve, a story out of Vancouver, Washington really put a smile on my face. A couple of juvenile delinquents decided young Priscilla Dang was a good target for harassment but they quickly learned otherwise. Priscilla was jogging alone on June 15th when two young degenerates approached her. They were … [Read more...]
Under Agenda 21 “Property Seizure” is Seen as “Profit-Sharing” by Jane Gaffin
Canada's Constitution is the supreme law. Any law passed by any federal, provincial, or territorial government that is inconsistent with the constitution is invalid. The next highest law in the pecking order of paramountcy is the Criminal Code of Canada and the same rules of law apply--or should apply--under the Criminal Code as with the Constitution. The Safer … [Read more...]
BC’s new Animal Health Act (Bill 37) is quietly withdrawn due to outcry over prison terms for making fish farm diseases public
There is an old saying that probably began with Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech movement in the United States around 1750… “The public has a right to know.” That saying is based on the idea that it is best that we, the people, know what is going on around us, both good and bad. The never-ending battle for Freedom of Speech is based on the conflict between … [Read more...]
Does the Yukon Territory really need a pseudo-police department to deal with drug dealers, bootleggers and prostitutes?
Does the Yukon Territory really need another layer of bureaucracy to do the job the RCMP is already paid to do? Apparently, the answer to that question is a resounding YES! according to Yukon’s Parliament. If that shocks you, you’re not alone. “There oughta be a law! What? There already is? Since when?” We already have laws against drug dealing, bootlegging and … [Read more...]
Russ Caswell’s Civil Forfeiture Nightmare
Russ Caswell is 68 years old. He has not been charged with a crime, yet the Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Police Department is using civil forfeiture laws to steal both his livelihood and his retirement estate. Russ Caswell owns and operates his family-owned motel called, oddly enough, the Motel Caswell. It’s not the Ritz but that’s to be expected given the motel was built by … [Read more...]
