1. Yesterday Randy Hillier turned himself in to the OPS.

2. Suffice it to say his supporters are not handling it well, many of who are outraged that their favourite politician is facing charges they believe politically motivated and are instead demanding politically motivated charges against politicians they don't like so... okay?

3. This very short comment, at least for me, really encapsulates who these people truly are however and is the most telling.

5. Far-right pseudo-journalist Leigh Stewart noted some of the conditions while clutching her pearls.

6. And Diagolon's Alex Vriend, if he were honest, would be perfectly content with a right-wing dictatorship is angry that political figures that he likes aren't' above the law.

7. But perhaps of some interest to the readers is that Hillier, as part of the conditions of his release, isn't allowed to talk to members of Diagolon (at least de facto leader Jeremy Mackenzie).

9. Hillier is also not permitted to communicate with members of the Canada First hate group including Tyler Russell and Shane Marshall.

13. Now I didn't see if my good friend Derek Harrison (who is in no way obsessed with me and my fashion choices) was on the list, but he also has a connection with Hillier.

14. Harrison seems to be especially focused on Jeremy Mackenzie who was also arrested on other charges last week.

16. This past Friday Harrison was a guest on Red Ice.

For what that podcast is about, I invite you to read this article.

17. I would also recommend @seywarddarby's excellent 'Sisters in Hate" which profiles Lana Lokteff, 'Red Ice' co-host with her husband Henrik Palmgren.

18. So, shall we delve into the video a bit?

Well, we start off by discussing, "fake and gay" accusations because Palmgren is a mature and sophisticated mofo.

19. Hey! Looks like @antihateca also gets some love from Derek though, as he is prone to bring us up at every opportunity, shouldn't perhaps be surprising.

20. Also, remember Derek Harrison is TOTALLY not a racist.

I know this because he says so, though he also says a lot of things that are really racist so this is a bit of a conundrum I guess.

21. Here they discuss the OUTRAGEOUS conditions that Hillier has to agree to in order to be released which are, well, actually really reasonable and mild.

22. Wait. The #OttawaOccupation was non-violent and there was no profanity?

I mean, the violence has already been detailed repeatedly, but is Derek really trying to convince people that there was nothing profane?

23. Like... really?

24. Here a pro-capitalist and opponent of socialism demonstrates he doesn't know how markets work in less than 40 seconds.

25. And let's just finish this with the wit and wisdom of this particular brain trust as they again demonstrate what quality human beings they are.

26. As for Jeremy Mackenzie himself, he seems to be doing what Jeremy Mackenzie does which probably isn't especially helpful to himself.

27.
