Okay, sort of a huge update on Kevin Johnston's arrest.

He had someone trying to help him in the United States. 1/

April LaJune is someone who appeared on Kijiji's show in the past. For a bit of background take a look at these articles. 2/

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
WELL, guess who was driving to the Canadian border to pick Kevin up?

Apparently Kijiji is planning on requesting political asylum.

More to follow. 5/
Sounds like Kijiji's efforts were as farcical as you would expect. 6/
It gets better and better.

To summarize so far, Kijiji got lost in the Saskatchewan/Manitoba wilderness. In winter. Without proper supplies.

And LaJune called border officials to save his ass.

We shall continue. 7/
Okay. I'm laughing so hard I am having trouble catching my breath, but here is the last part.

Sure, nearly 40 minutes of video clips in total, but worth every dam minute for the comedy gold!!! 8/
Thank you @DEFGHI52491710 and @OlJoeBloor for each independently sending me the link to her YouTube page. 9/
It gets even worse potentially for Kevin as someone pointed out LaJune's banner indicates she is a supporter of the III% militia. 10/
Why is that important?

Well... 11/

globalnews.ca/news/7980521/c…
Incidentally, I first wrote about LaJune in November when she appeared on his live feed. 12/

13/
Ugh! Montana, NOT Manitoba!
Also, I notice I messed up on tweet #7 of the thread..

I meant to write Montana rather than Manitoba. 14/

Well we have an update from LaJune.

Apparently she believes that Kevin J Johnston (or Kijiji as well like to call him) was exposing... pedophiles.

Uhm... no. No he wasn't. 15/
Here are more collected by this awesome human! 16/

There is going to be a hilarious update soon! 17/
Hmmm, not so much "hilarious" as "infuriating" actually. 18/

Well folks (and hello new followers). I said there would be an update on Kevin Johnston's Benny Hillesque, futile, and self-defeating flight from Canada to seek asylum in the United States. 1/

And like the posts from yesterday, the part dealing with Johnston's trek across the border is still genuinely funny.

However, I am also going to post some other parts so that you can get a real idea of the character of both Johnston and LaJune which is much more infuriating. 2/
The video is two and a half hours.

I will NOT subject you to all of it.

I'll start with the... er... highlights?

First, any thought that it wasn't Kevin and was instead another grifter who coincidently was trying to illegally cross the border is put to bed right away. 3/ Image

We will begin at the ending since, as @TonyYvce had said to us, this was likely to be the shortest man hunt in Canadian history. Slight hyperbole, but really not much as Kevin Johnston was taken into custody trying to cross the US border on foot. 1/20

We had first gotten wind that Kevin was on the lam yesterday when @JaneQCitizen posted screen shots from the anti-mask/anti-vaxx Telegram group run by Brad Carrigan. I would urge you to look at her thread. 2/20

Though I didn't doubt that much of what was posted in the Telegram might be true, we were dealing with people known to play fast and loose with the truth so I waited until it was confirmed by @antihateca today. 3/20

Well we have a follow-up on the arrest of Artur and Dawid Pawlowski that I and others tweeted about last night. 1/

It would appear that Artur made a phone call from where he was being detained to discuss his arrest. 2/ Image
In the first part Artur suggests he and his brother attended the even in order to de-escalate things as he claims there were those in attendance who wanted to do more than merely protest. 3/

So... Artur Pawlowski continues to be a going concern as @JaneQCitizen indicates in this thread. It also seems clear that he is now toying with some sovcit rhetoric coupled with his already dominionist theocratic fantasies. 1/

On Friday Artur participated in yet another march through the streets of Calgary fighting the tyranny of minor inconveniences put in place to stop the spread of a disease during a pandemic. 2/
His supporters cheered him on like trained seals, posted incendiary comments suggesting requirements to be vaccinated or tested for Covid before entering a building is basically the Holocaust (sadly, they are being serious) and spreading lies about the vaccine. 3/

Yesterday @TDubOntario did yeoman's service in their coverage of the ongoing Pat King Leg protests (er... sorry... "gathering"). If you are interested in learning more about Pat's singing voice, take a look. 1/

Now during his live feed, someone posted the following question regarding the Wet’suwet’en Nation. @TDubOntario also included the question in their thread. 2/ Image
For some background, @APTNNews posted the following backgrounder:

"They’ve been fighting for ownership of their language, culture and land since the day colonizers stepped foot on their territory" 3/

Yesterday Kevin Johnston was sentenced to 18 months in jail for contempt directly related to his continued defamation of @mohamadfakih8. 1/22

antihate.ca/kevin_johnston…
He originally lost the defamation suit in 2019, but since then continued to defame the victim, ridicule the courts, and openly state he will never pay any judgement. 3/22
