Former NFA President James Murray Hinter dodges the bullet again

Published March 6, 2016 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Negligent Discharges, Personal Responsibility


James Murray, as he calls himself today, is the former President of Canada's National Firearms Association (NFA) when he called himself James Murray Hinter.  He currently resides in Thunder Bay and a couple of years ago he found himself, once again, in legal hot water over guns. In pleading guilty in Ontario Superior Court to charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm … [Read more...]

Former NFA President Jim Hinter Surfaces At Last… with more criminal charges

Published May 9, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Negligent Discharges, Personal Responsibility


It took almost 10 years, but now there is an explanation for former National Firearms Association President Jim Hinter's disappearance from the world. Turns out Jim Hinter didn't disappear at all; he simply decided using his first and last name might cause him problems, given the allegedly criminal nature of his demise from the NFA. Hinter is currently listed as the … [Read more...]

Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly pleads guilty?

Published December 6, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


[powerpress] When it comes to police brutality cases I don’t surprise easy.  So often they are pathetically predictable. Today, however, I was shocked to see Kelowna thug and RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly changed his plea to guilty. This sad excuse for a man spent the past two years proclaiming his innocence, blaming his RCMP bosses for “tossing him under … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler “tossed under the bus” by RCMP Brass?

Published November 30, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


  Ever since video of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler’s brutal kick to the face of Buddy Tavares was made public, I’ve stated that this thug should be in prison, not walking the streets with a badge and a gun.  Geoff Mantler is a danger to society and, like every other violent offender, he should spend a very long time in prison. Testimony at Mantler’s trial … [Read more...]

Even Buddy Tavares doesn’t believe Cst. Geoff Mantler will be convicted of police brutality

Published November 28, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct, RCMP Hall of Shame


Buddy Tavares is the man who was brutally kicked in the face by RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler on January 6, 2011.  A Kelowna reporter happened to be there at the time and recorded the entire thing on video.  That video went viral and public outrage and condemnation of Mantler's apparent over-reaction was swift. In the wake of the Mantler video showing what seems to be blatant … [Read more...]

Brutal Thug (and Kelowna RCMP Constable) Geoff Mantler will finally face trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face

Published October 23, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


  [powerpress]   Anyone who has visited this site before will know precisely what I think of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler.  I think he's a thug with a badge and a gun who should be fired from the RCMP and spend a long time rotting in a jail cell. Geoff Mantler will now stand trial in Kelowna, BC, on November 26, 2012 for the brutal … [Read more...]

RCMP Sgt. Owen Wlodarczak thinks he should not suffer any consequences for threatening to shoot his wife in the head

Published August 26, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards


In May 2010 RCMP Staff Sgt. Owen Wlodarczak went home, punched his wife in the face half a dozen times and then threatened to shoot her in the head with his service pistol.  He committed this vile act in front of his children. True to the double-standard in sentencing RCMP members as compared to we mere citizens, Owen Wlodarczak was sentenced to absolutely zero jail time; … [Read more...]

Sentencing Double-Standard rears its ugly head again. Kelowna RCMP Staff Sergeant gets a wrist-slap for assault and firearm charges

Published August 16, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Courts, Firearm Prohibition Orders, Police, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Hall of Shame


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...]

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler: Send this Kelowna RCMP Thug to Jail… immediately

Published January 10, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct, RCMP Hall of Shame


Send RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler to prison

It's becoming more and more typical of RCMP these days. Beat the crap out of you first, ask questions later. Oh, and charge you with a crime so you can't sue... can't forget about that! You'll ABSOLUTELY want to watch the video below. Then you'll want to watch the news story on this event on the Globe and Mail's website.  They do a closeup on the cop kicking this poor guy … [Read more...]

Quebec’s Anti-Gun Hysteria reaches new high

Published November 14, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority


Police in Papineauville, Quebec (about 70 km northeast of Ottawa), have charged a high-school student with "careless use of a firearm", even though he didn't actually have a firearm. The facts don't matter to hysterical people, and that seems to extend to the Sûreté du Québéc in this case. The boy was carrying a BB gun from his home to show a friend who said he wanted to … [Read more...]
