One of the leaders of the three-week occupation in Ottawa, Pat King, is appearing at a bail hearing Tuesday as a woman has pledged to put up $50,000 to ensure King won't violate his bail conditions.
King, an Alberta resident, faces four charges related to his involvement in the occupation including mischief, counselling to commit the offence of mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobey court order, and counselling to commit the offence of obstruct police.
His arrest was captured during a livestream and broadcast to thousands of people.
Ottawa police had previously warned protesters they would face charges or fines if they did not stop blocking streets or assisting others in blocking streets.
At Tuesday's bail hearing, fellow Albertan Kerry Komix was put forward as King's proposed surety, which means she would put money forward on behalf of King and encourage him to maintain conditions of bail.
Met King 4 weeks ago She pledged $50,000 equity on her home, roughly half its value, against King's bail despite the fact she has only known him for about four weeks, Komix told the court.
Komix, a retired bus driver who has worked with children with special needs, says she joined King and others to travel to Ottawa for the so-called Freedom Convoy, which became a three-week occupation of downtown Ottawa.
She told court she would assist in administering justice against King, and was willing to monitor his digital and day-to-day activity.
"My home is where he's going to be. It's kind of a jail for him if you want to call it that," said Komix, who also committed to ensuring King attends court hearings in Ontario while serving bail in Alberta.
Videos shown of King's racist remarks Throughout the hearing, King sat in a prisoner's box wearing a grey hoodie and sweatpants. Prior to cross-examination of Komix, the court requested King put his mask on properly. He apologized, and told court he had been drinking water and forgot to slide his mask back on.
Crown lawyer Moiz Karimjee showed court some of King's videos posted online where he makes disparaging remarks about certain races and encourages protesters to come to Ottawa, including the occupation "red zone."
"You are allowed to be up on [Parliament] Hill," he told supporters, while encouraging them to use Uber to avoid police checkpoints set up to keep protesters out of downtown.
In one video, King is seen mocking specific ethnicities. In another, he talks about the Anglo-Saxon race "being the one with the strongest bloodlines."
King also said in another video shown in court: "Trudeau, someone is going to make you catch a bullet one day."
Surety claims videos altered Komix told court she was not aware of King's criminal record, which includes convictions for possession of narcotics and possession of the proceeds from crime, until a few days ago.
"I do know that's not the person that I know," Komix said of the videos. "I know he loves everyone and does not discriminate, that's the person I know."
Before breaking for lunch Tuesday, much of the debate between lawyers centred on Komix's understanding of the protest's legality.
"My knowledge is, when we were coming down here there was communication with police to give us streets that we could go down," she said.
Cross examination of Komix continues Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier Tuesday, protest co-organizer Tamara Lich was denied bail, while late last week fellow organizer Chris Barber was released on bail and was ordered to leave Ottawa.
She’s not going to need the money when Trudeau takes her home
I am surprised they have not declared bail part of the protest and arrested anyone even considering with helping post bail for the truckers.
Kerry Komix will now have her property and accounts seized.
Trudeau is laughing at them and all Canadians
Sounds like someone is just asking to have their finances frozen by Justine truDOH, the dik-tater of canadistan.
At least someone has the guts to stand up for what’s right. 95+% of America has turtled up.
Declaring GOD’S Promise on behalf of Pat King, Tamara Lich and ever freedom loving Canadian who has been defamed, threatened, injured and had their livelihoods and liberties stripped from them by TRUDEAU the fascist Canadian government leaders...
Isaiah 54:17
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
“Mischief?”
Defining peoples’ lives and livelihoods as “non-essential” over a biological warfare virus with at least a 99.74% survival rate is the real criminal mischief.
And forcing people to submit to an experimental vaccine that was never properly clinically tested is far worse than “mischief.”
I am beginning to believe that they only way to end this is to hold lamppost decoration parties in honor of graduates of Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset school.
Amen!
Hopefully she’s a U.S. resident and can’t have her funds frozen.
mischief leads to the government seizing emergency powers. Wonder what mayhem will result in.
Soros’ gleeful recounting of confiscating Hungarian Jews property is being relived by Trudeau.
Careful there, raising money to bail out convoy folks could be the next “crime” that Trudeau decides to lock people up for.
They haven’t worked out all the bugs yet.
“Ottawa police had previously warned protesters they would face charges or fines if they did not stop blocking streets or assisting others in blocking streets.”
CBC lies. They did not block streets.
The police did, though, block off streets.
CBC removed their comments section so Trudeau wouldn’t see what Canadians think of him
Trudeau’s arrogance and haughtiness is extreme.
As I recall, some 50 infections are more dangerous. And with the dreaded O variant, they are going after the common cold?
