1. It is day 2 of the anti-mandate protest in Ottawa. My original thread can be found here.

2. So let's get right into it.
Yesterday evening we learned that some convoy protesters stole food from a soup kitchen.
They intimidated workers at a shelter into giving them free food when shelters and food banks are struggling to provide those in real need.
3.
4. @_rkgg found the original audio, but I've cleaned it up a bit and removed the extraneous comments. Here they not only talk about stealing food from the unhoused, but also how they are justified to do so.
5. Also something to consider.
6.
7.
8.
9. And yes, you heard right.
At the end a question was asked where they could publicly urinate (and I presume defecate) .
Based on the video still that was sent to me, that seems to be pretty frequent.
10. Basically the convoy has turned Ottawa in a single day into a toilet and trach can.
You know, because they are patriots!
11. Honestly though, no onw should be surprised. Pat King ridiculed the the people of Ottawa who would be inconvenienced by them which is a whole heap of hypocrisy.
12. Hell, they think the stress they are causing to people in the city is funny.
13. Suffice it to say there isn't a lot of good will in the city towards the protesters right now.
14. In any case, it seems that the protesters still have a lot of outsized expectations about their rally. Here they discuss the "fact" Trudeau had 24 hours to decide if he would resign and the belief there 10s of thousands of trucks coming from the United States yet.
15. More concerning might be the expectations of the police who the protesters believe are "standing with them."
16. Because if the police don't stand with them, well... let's just say they better stand with them.
17. So that's a bit of a summary of what happened after I stopped tweeting yesterday. I haven't looked to see what is happening today but will add to this thread as I do.
18. A request first. Please consider donating to sghottawa.com.

19. Hey, remember the stealing from the soup kitchen story? Yeah, it couldn’t possibly get worse right?
Hold my beer.
20. “Two apparent protesters with the convoy assaulted a homeless person near Shepherds of Good Hope Saturday and then hurled racial slurs at a security guard who went to assist him, the shelter’s president and CEO said Sunday.”
ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
20. And if this is true… just my god!
21. Jesus! It just doesn’t stop!
22. So I checked Pat King's Facebook page this morning.
For someone the @gofundme me organizer Tamara Lich claims has nothing to do with the convoy, he seems to be having a lot to do with the convoy.
23. And here is where it gets infuriating.
Apparently Ottawa is to blame for the disorganization of the trucker convoy, not the organizers of the convoy.
24. Hmmmm, registration forms?
As in @gofundme registration forms perhaps?
25. Pat claims there were 1.4 million people at the rally (there were not) and calls CTV liars for providing a more realistic number.
26. Finally, in the longest clip, Pat (who again, Tamara Lich claims isn't involved in the convoy) continues to organize people and claims they will continue to disrupt people's lives.
Perhaps @JimWatsonOttawa could send Pat the bill for expenses the city has and will incur?
27. In another feed, two convoy members go out to look for Pat King who again, according to Tamara Lich and @gofundme (whose crowd funding service is in part responsible for this), has nothing to do with the convoy.
28. The walk provides another glimpse of what the selfish assholes are subjecting people in Ottawa to.
29. They find Pat in the hotel lobby. No one in a mask (Pat still has his cough as heard in previous clips).
But poor Pat is tired!
30. Pat again blames Ottawa for the convoy's poor planning and then shares the address he believes Trudeau is at right now claiming when he "gets back to work" there will be documents for him to sign.
Pat King remains a clown.
By the way, I just checked out the Hill Cam of the Parliament. Either:
1. There are fewer people attending.
2. People are sleeping off hangovers (and what was Pat drinking in those last clips btw?).
3. Both 1 and 2.
A statement by Shepherds of Good Hope.
Please donate.
33. Another angle showing people on the street in front of Parliament Hill.
34. Excellent thread detailing the harassment being faced by the media.
35. Again, sounds about white.
36. Well this may prove to be an interesting development though I can't help wondering if, given the kid gloves being used so far, this is the exchange:
"Could you move? No? Well, pretty please? Still No? Okay, we can discuss this more after dessert."
37. Well, didn't see that coming... /sarc
38. 🤦
39.
40. Well it appears that Max Bernier is talking to truckers and he has his friends with him.
41. Who are those friends?
First we have the Canada First hate group.
43. Then we have Derek Harrison.
44. You might remember Derek from this clip.
45. And Jeremy Mackenzie
47.
48. Oh, and don't think I didn't notice this sign.
[Immigra]tion Moratorium.
[The press is] the Enemy of the People
[CanadaFi]rst is Inevitable.
And who could miss that [Great] Replacement reference?
49. Where have I heard reference to The Great Replacement before?
Well, Generation Identity and pretty much every hate groups these days, but also here.
washingtonpost.com/world/2019/08/…
51. So yeah, this is about vaccination mandates.
Cool.
52. In Alberta, Peter Downing is pouting and upset that I've been a big meanie to him and the convoy while noting that, like a broken clock, Josh is correct about something.
53. First, no Keean, they don't
Second, I hope that they are forced to use that money to (a) give back to the soup kitchen what their members stole and (b) clean up the mess they have caused.
I mean, they didn't even have a plan for where people would piss and shit dude
54. Currently at the gym taking a break.
While I’m away, please don’t give away the home world.
55. So remember the discount QAnon Shaman "Freedom George" I mentioned yesterday.
Though I can't recall his real name he goes by George Billings is billed as Pat King's "right hand man."
56. Earlier today he posted a video where, and I kid you not, he solicits donations.
He says that the @gofundme money has yet to make it to the truckers.
57. I just want to remind you what @gofundme has allowed this mob to collect as they shit and piss on the city of Ottawa.
58. He claims they plan on circumventing the police at night to get truckers around road blocks.
Also they need the support of all Canadians and is here to "change the world."
And no, you do not have the unity of Canada behind you.
59. Well this is enraging.
He thinks being kept awake by incessant horns is great fun.
60. More "antifa" claims and a suggestion that if you don't like what the mob in Ottawa are doing that you should look in the mirror, then go outside and kick the crap out of yourself.
61. They are changing the world!
Also, if you donate, he will give you the receipts.
(Narrator: he most certainly isn't organized to create or distribute receipts).
62. Later as he is coming back from the bank to randomly distribute cash, he tells us more about the night plan to trick the Ottawa police which apparently banks on all of them being asleep.
No. Really. He said that.
62. And when I wrote he was randomly giving away money, I literally mean he is randomly giving away money.
63. Here he obnoxiously harasses media
64. And another "antifa" story and not just some poor Ottawa resident pissed off that these goons are acting obnoxious and literally shitting and pissing on their city.
So "Freedom George" brags about being obnoxious, then provides a demonstration.
65. Finally, we are back to just handing out wads of cash without any consideration regarding actual need.
Also, screw these people!
66. Sorry. I forgot to mention that he also brags about pulling the plug on a generator several times in the last clip.
Does he know the generator is for? No, but what does that matter in the struggle against the tyranny of minor inconveniences?
67. Well this isn't at all ominous.
68. Not wanting to be left out of the fun, self-proclaimed Queen of Canada and QAnon personality Romana Didulo claims that she will be making an appearance.
Uhm, I suspect no.
69. For background.
vice.com/en/article/3aq…
71. So getting back to Pat King, did I just hear him have the audacity to complain about someone blocking the street?
72. Pat claims he has been running logistics and hasn't had time for the fun others are having. He claims he is on his way to a war room meeting because that sounds cool I guess.
He also unironically complains about the gridlock again.
73. Complains that they aren't coordinated enough but that, ultimately, "they aren't moving" which is something he said about Edmonton before he moved.
Several times in fact prior to the permanent move.
74. Complains that the @OttawaPolice not working well with them.
Really, the more Pat speaks the more I think he genuinely believed that a red carpet would be rolled out for him to personally walk on.
75. More complaints about gridlock (ARGH!!!!!) and more of the super important meeting he is walking to.
76. He, but don't worry.
The have lined up a golf cart for Pat.
A. Golf. Cart.
77. He finishes with an admonition not to believe those lying media types because the convoy has been really peaceful and not obnoxious bullying boors who stole from a soup kitchen, assaulted people, pissed on the War Memorial, etc.
78. So, what else has happened that I've missed up until now?
79. This seems far more realistic.
80. Yep. Not violent.
81. If this is happening, I suspect it might be people far more angry at the disruption to their lives caused by this good squad than the "antifa" boogeyman.
82. Antifa and BLM! They are to blame for everything, from to society's break down to why you can't find your matching sock in the dryer!
Also, trolls on Zello apparently.
83. I just finished watching a stream posted by a convoy member named Jim Kerr. It contained a number of points of interest.
First, there is an increase in the tension downtown.
84. Kerr and his group walk past the War Memorial (which appears to now have a guard). He sees Durham Regional Police. Brief interaction.
As for not getting your name Jim, that ship has sailed
85. He is also surprised there aren't the number of people he anticipated.
86. He asks where Pat King is and expresses surprise when it is suggested King is in his hotel still.
87. Now the real tension here seems to involve harassment of @CBCNews journalists and that the police are protecting them.
88. Later Jim Kerr says he is going to call Pat King because he believes that where Pat is, that is where the action will be.
89. Now sharp eyed followers will notice the flags in the previous clips.
Those would be the flags of Tyler Russell's Canada First hate group, but also the camo Red Ensign with the hockey stick handle.
90. I've tweeted about Tyler Russell and Canada First a number of times, but the fella with the camo flag is almost certainly Shane Marshall.
91. Who is Shane Marshall?
antihate.ca/ppc_riding_dir…
92. Most people would know him for this incident however.
antihate.ca/white_national…
94. At the end of December, his residence was raided likely as a part of the investigation.
95. And we know that he is currently in Ottawa.
96. He also suggests there will be "reinforcements.
97. Getting back to discount Nick Fuentes. we see that Tyler Russell's group was in the area.
98. We also see that they were likely the main culprits in the harassment of CBC journalists.
99.
100.
101.
102. Comment found under another stream.
🤦
God, give me patience.
103. I should have known @JaneQCitizen (who I remember telling me but I forgot) knew who "Freedom George" was.
104. Looks like Pat King is back from his super secret meeting. I'll see about getting clips up after I eat.
Also, based on the comments it looks like the harassment of people at the soup kitchen is discussed and, surprise surprise, they think it is "fake news".
105. Well I was wrong. They don't discuss how convoy members stole from the soup kitchen
First, the dude Pat King is with doesn't sound healthy.
106. Pat keeps saying that everything is good but to "appease the media" for people to put away to signs that are causing concern.
You know. The swastikas and the Confederate flags. Because, patriots.
107. Honestly, it is all antifa's fault anyways.
108. He tells truckers to go to sleep because, and I shit you not, it is the Sabbath.
My eyes rolled so far I could see the back of my skull.
109. So why are they sitting in a vehicle just chilling?
Because "Freedom George" (Tyson Billings) had his truck towed for parking in a residential area.
He blocked someone's drive way, didn't he?
110. Now in the series of clips that will follow, you will notice that Pat insists that he KNOWS with certainty that Prime Minister Trudeau is on Vancouver Island and that people should harass him.
Interestingly, I know that he isn't, but that is neither here nor there.
111. Pat claims to be working with the OPS (hence the secret "war room" meeting") to bring truckers outside the city into it.
112. In what can only be described as one of the more egregious cases of not reading the room I've ever seen, Pat King says that everything has been so fun that it is basically a big tailgate party.
Yep.
Oh, except for "antifa" of course.
113. Smug Pat King is the worst Pat King.
Here he claims he has "contacted his lawyers" and that he is serving CBC papers in the morning. Suggests he will both shut down the CBC and own it.
114. Like, does he not realize that there are a huge number of videos that he has posted that confirm exactly what he is?
This is just one, and not even the worst!
115. No other caption other than they are idiots.
116. Pat describes himself and others as "beautiful souls"
Also, again, they are idiots.
117. Finally, he once again insists that Trudeau is at Tofino and again provides an address for people who might want to bother him there.
And again, Trudeau is most certainly not in Tofino.
118. Pat eventually made it back his his new "command centre" (more on that later).
He notes that people need to behave BUT anything that DOES happen will be a false flag.
119. Pat tries to tell the truckers stuck outside the city not to lose hope because he is on the case!
(Note: abandon hope all ye who enter)
120. Yep. Pat is going to take care of everything!
Because a person who gets a convoy lost in (reads notes) Regina is a master at logistics.
121. But Pat announces there will be a special guest so hold tight.
122. Or not.
Seems Facebook is acting funny which can only mean one thing.
"They" are "on to him!"
123. No matter. Pat provides the new plan for people to convoy every day in their own provincial capitals, thus pissing off a broader swath of the nation's population.
124. He REALLY wants a convoy to go to Tofiono where he is certain that Prime Minister Trudeau is located (again, he is not)
125. Not very important and perhaps petty of me to include, but Pat King seems to think he has outsmarted Facebook while at the same time believing "They" are trying to stop him.
126. Pat King said that the police can't put down peaceful protests by force.
Oh sweet, sweet, summer child.
127. More of Pat insisting Trudeau is in Tofino (he is not) because he has "people all over the world) and his source saw him.
Pro tip: if you want to know something is absolutely false, first listen to Pat King tell you it is definitively true to be certain it is false.
128. Here he throws Tamara Lich, who he describes as AWOL, under the bus. He suggest that the "big dogs" (he is included among the "big dogs" of course) have taken over.
129. Pat wants people to convoy every single day.
Apparently none of these people need (or want) to work.
130. No Pat, the events in Edmonton yesterday did not include 60,000 people.
131. Pat King discusses the new command centre (an AirBnB) and the battle tank (a golf cart) he will be getting with the giddiness of child, and that isn't a compliment.
132. I somehow suspect that Pat and the truckers may not be the annoyance that he think they will be.
Also, according to hotels, a lot of people are checking out tomorrow.
133. Finally, gifters got to grift as Pat asks for help paying for truckers' food and accommodations.
Or they could, I don't know... go to work? Maybe?
134. In Plaid Army/Diagolon (or Diagalon... I honestly don't even care enough to look), Max Bernier decided that this would be great for his political career and will certainly never bite him in the ass.
135. Awwww, I feel seen!
Also, tuckers aren't being "held hostage". They can drive away and go home any time they like.
136. And while this group thinks this is HILARIOUS...
137. ...it is always instructive to see first hand what kind of character they have.
Or don't have as it were.
138. Missed this update from the Ottawa Police Service.
ottawapolice.ca/Modules/News/i…
139. Pat is continuing to do logistic things even though there is a very good chance that the numbers (already significantly fewer today based on photos) will be even less tomorrow.
140. Also, Jim Kerr is noting that things seem a lot more quiet.
141. And a reminder that Keean Bexte isn't really a journalist, and I say that knowing I'm a partisan hack.
142. And with that, I'm signing off.
I know I said that yesterday and kept going, but I mean it now.
Probably not.
In any case, unlike Pat King, Jeremy Mackenzie, Tyson "Freedom George" Billings, and a lot of these goobers, I have work in the morning.
143. As I have a job, I likely won't get to any new thread until later in the day.
But I also hope Pat will be sad because nothing happens.
I'll end tonight with a a webcam screen shot of Parliament Hill taken moments ago.
Night folks.
144. I lied apparently.
These people talk a big game so take it with a grain of salt, but also be careful.
