I can't speak for others but I don't condone or justify any unlawful behaviour by any side in protests. I don't care if it's the convoy, BLM or fans celebrating a sport championship.
As I stated though, I am not going to pat anyone on the head for not causing shit. I expect people to behave and those who don't should be held accountable. I also expect those around them who witness that to make an attempt to stop their actions and not justify it as anger or shrug their shoulders, do nothing and say "that's not all of us."
I will acknowledge good behaviour if only to illustrate how it should be done. But I don’t think that is the same as giving “credit”. With so many bad protests that go on, I think showing and acknowledging the good way to protest is important.
For this, it has been mostly peaceful with a handful of assholes and idiots. Perfect.
However, it is still more of an unlawful assembly then a proper protest. They are literally locking down and hold a city hostage. They are holding food hostage at the border. Or were, I have not updated my research on Coutts yet today.
So while I can support the peaceful nature, it is not necessarily lawful. Being sickly sweet still leaves a bitter after taste and that is what this protest is doing.
