What does the Fredericton Police Force do when it can’t be bothered to do the job the citizens of Fredericton PAY them to do? The go have coffee and ask for civilian volunteers to do the job for them. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration… I’m sure they aren’t going for coffee, but you get the point, right? Fredericton Police Chief Barry MacKnight, it would seem, has … [Read more...]
Everyone’s House is His Castle and Fortress
This article is intended as a companion piece to Christopher di Armani’s September 28th post titled Ontario Crown Counsel and OPP Finally Find Some Common Sense. "There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has … [Read more...]
Ontario Crown Counsel and OPP finally find some common sense
After nothing but horror story after horror story about homeowners being charged for having the audacity to defend themselves against home invaders, the latest case of an Ontario man stabbing his home invader to death has come to the correct end. Thank God! While it seems that common sense has arrived at the offices of Ontario's Justice Department too late for Ian … [Read more...]
Intruder invades a man’s home, but it’s the home owner who gets charged with aggravated assault
In what's becoming a disgusting and disturbing pattern across Canada, it's once again the law-abiding citizen that is being charged, not the criminal. Ontario police and Crown prosecutors appear to have an incredible bias against anyone actually defending themselves, their loved ones or their property. This is just the latest in a long line of legal obscenities to grace the … [Read more...]
Lawrence Manzer goes on trial one week from today
Lawrence Manzer goes on trial one week from today in a case that should never be before the court at all. The only reason it is appears to be the local RCMP's hatred of someone doing their job and Crown Prosecutor Paul Hawkins' hatred for a decent man doing the right thing when the RCMP won't. Hawkins certainly doesn't seem to have a problem with actual violent criminals or … [Read more...]
What does New Brunswick Crown Attorney Paul Hawkins have against convicting criminals?
Paul Hawkins is a Crown Prosecutor in New Brunswick. He's the man bringing charges against Lawrence Manzer for the "crime" of standing on his front porch with his unloaded shotgun while he watched his neighbour, Brian Fox, apprehend one of the drunken little jerks that had been vandalizing their neighbourhood for months.

What a difference an imaginary line makes in Police attitude toward civilian firearms ownership
I came across a news story from just south of the BC -- Washington State border... you know, the big imaginary line called the 49th Parallel that separates Canada from the United States. And it smacked me right in the face what a huge difference that imaginary line makes in the attitudes of police towards citizens with firearms. Here in Canada, for example, the RCMP and … [Read more...]

Are the New Brunswick Crown Prosecutors completely out of touch?
I seriously have to ask the question: Are New Brunswick's Crown Prosecutors completely out of touch? I feel compelled to ask this question after hearing about another bizarre decision they've made. The latest case is of 18-year-old Wayne Heighton of Oromocto, New Brunswick. That's just down the road from Burton, New Brunswick's Lawrence Manzer, the man that Crown … [Read more...]
RCMP member loses his service pistol and doesn’t even know it?
Seriously? How the heck can you drop your service pistol on the bathroom floor and not even know it? That's the question of the hour today as Nova Scotia RCMP try and figure out why a civilian was the one turning in an RCMP standard issue Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol. Shall I list the charges that any "mere citizen" would face if they dropped their loaded pistol in a … [Read more...]
