OTTAWA – The lawyers defending two of the most prominent organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” protests are expected to make their case today to block nine Ottawa residents and business...

Lawrence Greenspoon has a terrible toupe.

When I read this, I thought, “Is Lawrence Greenspoon the Canadian version of Alan Greenspan?”

Objection!

On what grounds?

Their testimony will be devastating to our case…

“Overruled”

“Good call”

Their legal advice is actually quite simple.

STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!

Isn’t blocking Ottawa residents what they are on trial for in the first place?

No. Shut up!

DON’T MAKE ME GET MY TRUCK!

Hoooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkk

Those residents of Ottawa were the victims of the tantrumist attack. They should absolutely be allowed to testify.

If you don’t want to be tried in Ottawa don’t commit crimes in Ottawa. If you do commit crimes in Ottawa your victims should be allowed to testify against you.

“Your Honour, this will be extremely detrimental to our defense. Please!”

Why would you repeat the same exact joke someone else made? There were 6 comments total, you couldn’t be bothered to read any of them ?

“Your Honour, Warm Soda has a case of the Mondays. Please!”

They’re not wrong. Your original comment added nothing new to the discussion. It’s like you’re back on Reddit, and everyone is making the same jokes repeatedly on every post.

To shreds, you say?

Yes, exactly! That shit was annoying as hell.

Isn’t preventing people from performing civic duties the opposite of freedom.

9 witnesses is too much but not 18 naked cowboys.

I see the lawyer’s point. What relevant testimony will they be able to give in regards to Chris Barber and Tamara Lich? This is not POEC or The other sob story commission that was held in Ottawa for Zexi Li and others to promote their civil case.

interesting. so they already signed statements admitting to blocking traffic and affecting local businesses, therefore they’re arguing that those testimonies are not necessary. basically this is the equivalent of, “we already admitted it, can’t we just move on?”

IMO the court should still hear the victims’ impact statements. i hope the judge thinks so too.
