It's just a protest

Unfortunately they did, yep.

Oh and you know they're truckers how?

First off they look like kids

You mean like in Seattle or Portland when they tried to burn a police station?

Oh wait, those weren't truckers....and I doubt the apartment fire statrers were

Its the first words in the article.

Two truckers participating in protests against pandemic protocols in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada were caught by security footage attempting to set fire to an apartment building.

I can call Biden a turnip. Is he a turnip?

Absolutely no proof they're truckers, the media is guiding you

The convoy broke some of the rules of staging a mass protest. Primarily there needs to be someone to turn it off just before it starts becoming unpopular. You can't hurt the people you say you are trying to help. You should make it about one thing. You try to turn it off before the authorities escalate. You show up expecting to be arrested and with bail money or you stay home. Should probably leave the nazi/confederate flags at home.

Hmm, I don't think they will turn off their free speech just for you or your sensibilities.

Stay on topic

That is such a crock of shit. First of all, there's no video in that link. Just grainy still images which show nothing to indicate that the people depicted were part of the trucker convoy, or that a fire was ignited.

Furthermore, it's clear as day that the person who supposedly witnessed this has a major axe to grind. Just look at the way he describes the protest in general and the people involved. That's about as believable as Dragonlady giving an alleged eye witness account related to this subject. The funniest part of the "article" is the story about an unidentified resident supposedly running to the elevator in fear when the culprits allegedly announced (unsolicited) that they were part of the trucker protest while they were in the process of igniting a fire. Just a casual voluntary confession during an act of arson. Totally normal criminal behavior. LOL. Seriously, that is some Juicy Smolliet caliber bullshit right there. I don't think the "article" ever even mentions the source of this little tidbit of supposed info (likely one of the voices in the author's head).

Finally, the author of that "article" is a laughable excuse for a journalist. It's basically an extended recitation of the twitter rant by the angry, anti-protest "witness" with a bit of fan fiction added in. The whole thing is absolutely dripping with confirmation bias and wild ass speculation (repeated use of "anti-vaxx protestors" to describe the alleged culprits is a dead giveaway). Hilarious. Where do you find this garbage?

Yep, burning businesses, burning cars, destroying stores doesn't hurt anyone....fricken moron.

The only people who displayed Confederate/Nazi flags at the Canadian trucker's protest were agent provocateurs from the Canadian government.

It's a parody of what right-wingers think happens at most protests. The right is new to mass protests and they are really blowing it so far.

Really?

Do you actually mean because they aren’t burning anything down, beating dissenters, or shooting any police officers?

What else’s have the left out?

Until they blocked the bridges they probably were about to get what they wanted. After that they just doubled the resolve the Canadian government not to cave in to their demands. Now nothing changes until the jerks clear out.

LoL!

What is your evidence they about to get what they wanted?

LOL, no property damage and the best the MSM could come up with were "non-violent complications" i.e. honking and not being able to get your car out.

Meanwhile how much property damage has been done by BLM/Anti-fa?

How much is still being done?

Trudeau wouldn't even meet with them, or some representatives. He called them Nazis and fled Ottawa.

 

[AntonToo]

Oh, if ONLY they'd looted liquor stores and burned down their neighbor's businesses! Then it would be a legitimate protest!

Said no one ever.

Anyone looting and burning should be charged for their criminal actions, so should truckers that are illegally blocking crossings.

And yet for one side the governments responsible for countering it won't do anything, even now.

Trudy has put himself in a tight spot. Spoiled privileged white boy is about to learn a life lesson.

Horsecrap, plenty of people got arrested.

But even if you do have legitimate complaints for some local enforcement, how the hell is that an excuse to not hold truckers to law?

Yet, the woman now occupying the office of Vice President bailed looters and arsonists out of jail, and cheered them on.

Lol, like what? Squash traffic halting truckers faster?

Bullshit. She has long supported bail reform.

Bails do not let people off the hook, it just keeps those that courts do not deem dangerous out of jail untill their day in court.

Because the left has set the pattern for violent protest, so it stands to reason non-violent protest will be treated far more leniently. (LOL, bullshit, two standards for two sides).

And arrested and actually prosecuted are two different things, as is effective prosecution.

Most of the lefties get a slap on the wrist, while any right leaning protester has the book thrown at them.

We will see the same thing in Canada. Dozens of Catholic Churches burned or vandalized? No big deal. Block roadways with trucks? 10 YEARS IN JAIL TAKE THEIR TRUCKS TAKE THEIR HOUSES.
