Certainly better than those ready to lynch him months ago.
Yes yes very good.. You're such a "by the book" kinda guy blackrock.. Good for you.. We get it.

Unfortunately, most defenders of Ford could care less about "due process".. They were convinced of a conspiracy thanks to Ford and his entourage on AM640 (absolute scummiest radio station in the history of broadcasting).. They bought it all.. Hook line and sinker.. And now they look like morons..

Media tramples all over Ford residence front lawn shoving cameras in his face, wow, such a frenzy. Sorry his home is off limits folks.

Okay 'a' video exist, but still not sure it show what is claimed, Ford smoking crack, but that will be figured out later, maybe.
Did you not hear/read what the Chief of Police said? You want to hold onto your 'truth' so fucking bad, it's incredible.

Well, I'm on record to say that if a video or first hand evidence surfaces, that I wouldn't be so surprised.

What sort of surprises me is that Alessandro Lisi is the blackmailer, but this is what scumbag criminals do and Ford should know better to avoid such liaisons, especially as someone from a wealthy family and while he's in public office.

(It's interesting to note that John Tory on CFRB replied as a lawyer to Agar that a video on it's own is merely suggestive but not absolute proof that he's smoking crack, however, it doesn't look good).

with all the effort that has been put into investagating this whole thing, if there is any real proof at all Ford will be charged. i suspect that no charges will be brought! there has to be a reasonable chance of a conviction, and if he is charged and found not guilty BOOM evrybody will look like a complete ass!
Ford looks like an ass already and Blair said they won't arrest him.

He needs to go crawl under a rock and live with his shame.

By the book? I have more respect for the spirit of the laws winning over the letter of the law, but all I expect is due process. A cornerstone of our countries laws as a well as many other democracy. Our balanced court system and foundation of the laws is based on that' minor' point. People died defending it. I've seen too many people, some very close friends and acquaintences, hung, drawn, and quartered by sloppy work or leaps of faith on evidence and found completely innocent down the road , but their life was ruined for ever by then. Damn straight.

Absolute summiest?

Was Lisi extorting Ford with the video?

Or was he extorting someone else to get the video for Ford?

As much as you'd like to have him arrested Groggy, I honestly don't think that being caught on a video puffing on a pipe is cause for arrest. If in fact that scumbag Lisi was trying to extort Mayor Ford, then Ford's the victim. Regardless, it doesn't look good for Ford politically-speaking unless he can spin this around.

A public official shouldn't subject himself to blackmail.

Don't think it has been at all revealed who was the target of Lisi's extortion. It may very well have been the Somali drug dealers in possesion of the video. In fact, Rob himself could end implicated if this is the case and Lisi decides to "throw him under the bus".

That was supposed to read "scummiest" (also not a word.. but far besides the point).. I corrected it long ago, but you quoted me too quickly.

Due process wasn't afforded, by Mayor Ford (or his supporters), to the woman he chastised on his radio show for "hitting him in the face" with a drink at Taste of the Danforth.. It wasn't afforded by him (or his supporters) to that dude from the Star who he derided for "allegedly" taking photographs of the back of his house..

Ford can eat a dick when it comes to "due process"..

For the last time.. Anti Ford doesn't mean PRO Liberal.. It means Anti-Stupidity in all it's forms.. If you want to be pro-stupidity then please go ahead and babble on about how this isn't a big deal because Ford didn't waste $1.1 billion on a power plant (?)...
You missed the point

1.1 billion wasted, people deleting emails, lying etc no one really cares.

Some fat dope mayor possibly smokes weed/crack and the whole world turn upside down...and the people who are jumping all over him see prostitutes on a regular basis and probably do recreational drugs as well. Hypocrisy much?

BTW I couldn't give a fuck less about conservative vs liberals. Im not a blind sheep who sticks to one side and ignores the other like many people who are so loyal to their party. I see them both for the pieces of shit they really are...

My buddy called me and told me that Lisi was trying to extort Ford. My friend doesn't like Ford so he went on about how this shows lack of judgement, blah, blah, blah, so I would think he heard the media report accurately. Can others chime in here please? If Lisi was extorting someone to get that video, then that's even worse for Ford because he would appear to be an accessory to a crime.

Heyhey, I agree with your point 100%!

However, there are people who are against both situations too (one is massive waste of money, and the other is about the highest office in the biggest city of Canada not exercising good judgement, possibly an addict which may affect his job performance, and subject to extortion).
