The COVID-19 pandemic

Maybe read a bit, he is none of those things, he is angry about the "freedom" not about his livelihood.

Not ticketing him is sickening in the face of the protestors arrested in Ottawa, and worse, the threat of legal action against the carpenter making housing for the homeless.

Honestly, the police are really aiming to maximize their bad optics here...

But police bad actors aside, I'm done treating assholes with kid gloves. It's time to treat them the way we've treated marginalized people for centuries.  The way we pretend we treat all bad people.

By far the most disappointing thing to learn as an adult is that it matters less what you do, and more who you are and who you know, when it comes to what consequences you face to committing crimes. And if you think that is an unkind thing to say, you're right, it is, lets make it untrue rather than shooting the messenger.

Dan, please don't try and tell me what to do with your condescending comments please...

You're absolutely right, it was condescending, and that is unkind and I should act better. I'm sorry.

I am tired of people excusing bad behaviour. The police are doing it, and that makes me very angry. It didn't take me much time reading to see that this was not a struggling business owner.
