Summary
Pat King, a key figure in Canada’s 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests, was found guilty on five charges, including mischief and counseling others to obstruct police, and faces up to 10 years in prison.
The protests, which blocked downtown Ottawa and key US-Canada border crossings for weeks, opposed COVID-19 mandates imposed by Prime Minister Trudeau’s government.
King was accused of inciting the blockade, coordinating disruptive actions like constant honking, and defying court orders.
He is the first protest leader convicted, while trials for other organizers are ongoing.
Honestly I’m surprised I didn’t see more stories of people trying to beat the fuck out of those truck drivers.
Slashed air lines would have been on my todo list if it was in my area.
Bags of dog shit would be landing in the rigs left and right too.
Oh man it’d be so fun giving the local kids hands-on learning in constructing and operating trebuchets and catapults. :D
Sling shots using medical hose too!
