I find it very interesting that no one complains about the Mayor inventing a by-law to evict protesters from in front of City Hall and the police lie to get access to Charles' internet but they can get Google to remove his Blog. How do we know what lies they told to bring this about?
I'm a big supporter of Charles, but that one word which hopefully we won't see on this new blog is clearly all ANYBODY would need to see. Anybody at Google, heck, even people that are big fans of Charles would see those blogs and go "Whoa, thats way over the line!". I've never read any supporters of Charles saying "thats right charles, they ARE *****". So no lies are really necessary, this one falls on charles.
There's no doubt about the hypocrisy of it though. Police are free to ignore the blog, and frankly, nobody in their right mind would take it seriously, but it just goes to show just how much influence Charles' blog has. Those in power get away with far worse, and usually on people who don't at least have the benefit of a 70 grand salary and a months vacation.
But sadly, the only option in our society for people who are wronged is a lawsuit, and the poor can't afford them. Heck, again, begging is a protected form of free speech by virtually every court which has looked at it, yet in New Brunswick now Moncton is banning panhandling. Every single one of those people has a lawsuit which couldn't fail, but again, the poor have no lawyers.
Mikel many people do take it seriously. I have told Charles before he needs to learn how to word things. I am his friend but I cannot support him for so many reasons. I do get and understand why the City of Fredericton did what they felt they had to do. Those same people who are saying the police should just ignore Charles and his comments would be severely pissed if his comments were about someone they loved.
F**k no.
ReplyDeleteHe should be given the highest city honour. He should run for Mayor too, we'd vote for him for this alone.
