Rebel News Ezra Levant arrested

[squeezer]

Sniffing underpants, even Kate Micucci underpants always seemed weird to me

Also, silly me, I think people should be hauled off by the cops for things they have done and not reputation.

We don't arrest bike club members or known members of the Mafia. We actually need to drum up a case.

Bikers and mobsters do get harassed if pulled over or have an encounter with the police.

If you have a record, you are under more scrutiny when approached by the police. They even take your driving record into account when getting pulled over for a vehicle infraction to decide if they should let one go with just a warning.

He's in the janitor's closet getting his mop ready

Why? Did @mitchell76 rub one out or was it just a spontaneous emission?

 

[mandrill]

You're wrong. Doesn't need to be a grifter the guy is a lawyer by trade and could make more money doing that than what he does. I don't agree with Levant on everything and I will fully admit he has said some reckless things at times. But in this situation I agree with him. He wasn't doing anything other than to take pictures and video of the protestors to prove a point - that there were terrorist supporters in the crowd.

These Arabs went into a Jewish neighbourhood with the sole purpose to intimidate and antagonize. They should have been disbanded by the police if they were worried so much about "keeping the peace".

No. Rebel News routinely breaches the peace to get a reaction from either the cops of their target, which they then film and upload to their "news" website to get a rise out of their dumbass followers.

He wasn't arrested for trying to annoy some protester, he was protested for pointing out that the cop was in the wrong.

Also how did he annoy the shit out of them. What did he actually say. Did he tell them he hopes their mothers die? DId he invite them to a Justin Beiber concert?


I've seen examples where Rebel Media went to the point of harassment and abuse, but I mean fuck, we don't just arrest Hells Angels because of their rep, we wait till they actually do something.


If he was a black dude working for some activist org and he got hauled off for mouthing off at the cop the exact same way, again... defenders of this and people who object to this would do a 180.

Oh and isn't celebrating a terrorist much worse than anything he would have said? He mentioned it to the cop. Did the cop haul those protesters off for being annoying... and more than annoying frankly. [no pun intended]

I'm sure the Rebel News video of the event makes him look totally blameless. But I bet he was doing shit to stir things up that got left out of that video....

 

[Vinson]

One of those Rebel News cocksuckers gets arrested every fucking week. It's part of the grift because then they fund raise for "legal fees".

What's going to happen here is that a dumbass like Kirk - or probably Mitch as well - will send $50 for "legal fees". Levant won't even hire a lawyer. He got arrested simply to get him the fuck away from starting a potential riot and the Crown will drop the charges on the 2nd or 3rd set date appearance.

Ezra will pocket your money and laugh at your sad shit behind his sleeve.

You're not being nice Mandy, you didn't like people insulting you but you insult other Terbites that don't agree with your political view. Also terms like cocksuckers and every fucking week shows a lot of animosity. Then you were downplaying the Montreal riots the other day, I'm starting to think that maybe frank has another handle.

You mean like this one?

Assault my ass? More like false arrest and imprisonment.

How about this one?

Give me a fucking break. Because he caught Patrick Brown sneaking into a public rink to play hockey while kids weren't allowed to. Isn't that their job to expose the hypocrisy of politicians?

 

[silentkisser]

Yes they do push things, often too far. But was he aggressively getting into people's faces in that particular situation? IIRC the cops were basically saying his presence alone was inflamitory not that he was pushing the limits.

So since he works for Rebel Media, I can go punch him in the face, because he is a jerk. It doesn't work that way.

And the idea of removing someone for standing around, maybe asking some civil questions, because it might cause a disturbance, I say the issue is on the savages who would turn that into an escalation of violence. Why not arrest them... oh but that would require more effort and keep the cops away from their donuts.

Yeah he got what he wanted. He exposed the cops taking the side of terrorists over an innocent person.

I didn't watch the full scene, but aside from 1 count of being a Jew and 1 count of being from Rebel Media, did he actually do anything wrong?

Hey, I didn't say they were justified in the arrest, but he is a known quantity. I worked with Ezra and the Menzoid back in the day. I know the way they operate. Ezra just being there is enough to anger folks for all the horrible/stupid and unfair stuff he's said in the past. It would be akin to a noted white supremacists trying to interview people during a BLM march and asking inflammatory questions. I should point out that while I do not think Ezra is really a journalist, he did have a right to be there. But, the police have some discretion to separate groups that could cause bigger problems. It would be a lot easier to remove an agitator to de-escalate a situation than infringe on a group's right to protest. I'm sure you would agree.

Also, I should also say, I do not necessarily support the protesters.

I should also point out that you are obviously biased about this, calling the protestors "savages" and "terrorists," and pointing out that Ezra is in danger because he's a jew and works at Rebel? Keep in mind the long history of distortion and lies Rebel has spread about muslims and other minority groups. Ezra has been doing it for over 20 years, and when he gets hit with lawsuits or other repercussions, he plays the victim card.

 

[silentkisser]

i'm sure you enjoyed Trudeau freezing bank accounts (still not a police state?) of protesters against him....which the courts later stated was a violation of their rights...

Oh yeah, here we go with Trudeau the tyrant....Except, how many tyrants have to hold a judicial inquiry after the fact to defend their actions? It really makes me laugh that you all want to pretend he's a dictator and we're in a police state...except you have no issue posting anti-Trudeau stuff all the fucking time. If we were in a police state, you would not be here....So, please stop with this stupid rhetoric. You embarrass yourself constantly with this, as does Ezra....

 

[silentkisser]

But he broke the real story which isn't just a few people on a side walk promoting terrorism, that's a Tuesday but how the cops will arrest someone for just standing there, maybe even asking questions or taking pictures.

That is serious.

Again if it was say a member of the Young Turks doing the same thing to some Proud Boys and the policia hauled their ass off, people defending the arrest would be up in arms and those who are saying it's a nothing burger would be all derka derka jihad jihad.

Well not me but I am so very lonely.

Here's the thing, as I said in another response: Protests are supposed to be peaceful. But, if someone is trying to agitate the crowd, police have a duty to remove them. That is called de-escalation. Now, we don't know if these people would have done more, but there are countless times in history when shit like this happened, and peaceful protests turn on a dime. We don't know everything that Ezra said or did. Does he have a right to say it? For the most part, yes (as long as it isn't hate speech), but at the same time, the police have an obligation to allow a peaceful protest to continue and avoid the chances that things could take a turn for the worst.

Believe me, Ezra was there to agitate some sort of reaction. It would either be him getting yelled at, hit or arrested. And, I'm fairly certain he was prepared for all instances and had a fundraising email drafted to take advantage of this.

Is super tough Ezra Levant as macho as Joe "Underdog" Underhill...Underdog pick on someone your own size!

He was no where near being arrested till he told a cop that they work for him.

Also there is agitation but if asking some basic questions and being a Jew is all it takes to agitate, the problem is with the other wise.
Also what about the protesters, and their celebrating a pro genocidal terrorist. Isn't that agitation?

Sorry, but I am biased against mass murder, rape and hostage taking specifically targeting civilians just to provoke an attack on a built up area where you can tell your people to ignore evacuation orders and use them as human shields all in support of a river to sea genocide.

Hamas and Hezbullah are literally terrorist groups and if you support them, you are a savage

While I am at it, some more hot takes
Hitler bad
Pineapple never belongs on pizza
Rape bad
Justin Beiber is history's greatest monster.

I am aware of Ezra tactics, but in this case he didn't do enough to justify his treatment.

Calling me biased is a bit like this from Yes Prime Minister

Props for a sound rational take. Sadly those are rare on the left side of the spectrum.

The term 'savage' is classic settler colonial language. Usually used by people who also declare that those 'savages' are sub human to justify why they think they don't deserve basic human rights and killing them is ok. Israel used it on subway ads in 2012, but not since then.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1733873546969989435

Now they try to be a bit more subtle while still pushing the same message.

Though Netanyahu went off message early in the genocide and hoped most people didn't know what Amalek meant.
Now he's a wanted war criminal.

Terrorists are savages. And Mona is a crackpot. Spray painting a sign in the NYC subway and wonders why she's being arrested?

 

[Frankfooter]

Terrorists are savages.

Define 'terrorist'.

Those ads were put up by Pamela Geller, remember her?
She was an inspiration for Anders Breivik.

Political commentator Ezra Levant suing Toronto police after arrest for 'breaching the peace' at anti-Israel protest

Ezra Levant was arrested by Toronto police for allegedly inciting a crowd of anti-Israel protesters on Sunday

nationalpost.com

That's worth $100 donation, Mitch.

He accepts e-transfers, buddy. Do it tonight.

 

[mandrill]

You think pissing off cops is smart?

Guy taunted the cops to get a reaction, so he could film it and use it for grift. He does this type of shit all the time.

Go give Levant $$$, Vinnie. He'll go fight the Islamic people for you and be your champion.

Pretty much 100% exactly my take on this as well.
