Riot Tactics Redux

A veteran officer explains how police should incorporate lessons from 2020 in responding to pro-Hamas campus unrest.

The City of Seattle has long been a laboratory for the radical Left. Activists experiment with concepts, language, techniques, and policies that eventually appear in other cities. For this reason, Seattle law enforcement often gets early insight into the evolving tactics of left-wing street protesters. The city’s officers have had decades of experience dealing with Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and anarchist movements, which culminated in the George Floyd riots of 2020.

You do know South Africa is a sh^thole don’t you?

Operation Dudula – How South African anger has focused on foreigners

Are the campus protests just noise? A look back at the anti-apartheid movement offers insights

On campuses across Canada and the United States, students, faculty and alumni are organizing to press their universities to divest their holdings in companies doing business in Israel. Students are holding rallies and constructing encampments, and they have occupied college buildings. Some commentators have dismissed these actions as naïve or a flash in the pan that will soon dissipate. The lessons of history tell us that this is not likely to be the case.

The author believes SA is a shining example of student activism. I suppose he considers Kill the Boer a happy tune.

Egypt’s Duplicity, the World’s Silence

On May 12, Egypt announced that it will support South Africa’s case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), where Israel is accused of “genocide” for defending its citizens against Hamas’s murderers and rapists who invaded Israeli communities on October 7, 2023. The announcement came in response to the ongoing Israeli military operation against Hamas terrorists and bases, especially in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

Philippines seeking Canada’s help to avoid ‘great power rivalry’ between China, U.S.

OTTAWA – The foreign minister of the Philippines wants closer business and military ties with Canada, saying the two countries can help maintain the post-war order in the Indo-Pacific by maintaining peaceful relations with both the U.S. and China.

“The future of our region should not be determined by the great power rivalry,” Enrique Manalo, the secretary of foreign affairs for the Philippines said in an interview last week.

“Today’s world is a lot different than it was after the Second World War, when you had a clear distinction between the West and the East. Now, you have a much more competitive world — and our relationships are more complex.”

Is this some kind of Joke?

Immigration protest on P.E.I. could turn into hunger strike, organizer warns

Some immigrant workers are prepared to go on a hunger strike if the P.E.I. government doesn’t reverse some recent changes to who gets preference under the Provincial Nominee Program, says one of the people behind the daily protests in Charlottetown.

Rupinder Pal Singh said they are giving the province until May 16 to meet their demands, which include extending work permits for immigrants who are already here, working and hoping for permanent residency.

No one loses any weight on these hunger strikes!

CHARLEBOIS: The invisible lifeline of Canada’s economy may be in trouble

In a country as vast and resource-rich as Canada, one would expect logistics — a critical backbone of our economy — to be a priority.

Yet, it remains one of the most underappreciated aspects of our economic infrastructure. Canadians, largely oblivious to the intricacies of supply chains, are accustomed to the seamless appearance of goods on store shelves.

Meghan and Harry‘s Charity Found Delinquent in California

Meghan and Harry’s California-based Archewell Foundation charity has been ordered to stop spending or soliciting money after being found to be delinquent.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who abandoned their duties to the British Royal Family in favour of money-making ventures in Hollywood, have let their official registration fees for their charity lapse since at least the beginning of May, according to a letter from California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

John Ivison: Another warning about Trudeau from yet another former Liberal insider

Old age and death are the only guaranteed routes to forgiveness for politicians.

As English playwright Alan Bennett once said: “If you can eat a boiled egg at 90, they think you deserve the Nobel Prize.”

Perhaps it’s too much to expect a dispassionate appraisal of a sitting prime minister.

But has anyone been as roundly abused as Justin Trudeau by people who were formerly some of his closest associates and colleagues?

After U.S. withdrawal, terror groups ‘gaining strength’ in Afghanistan, report warns

The power vacuum that America left behind in Afghanistan is fueling a resurgence of Islamist terrorists who have the will, and perhaps the capability, to target the U.S. and its interests abroad, according to a major report by the United States Institute of Peace, which argues that the Biden administration should consider unleashing more military strikes against terrorist targets in the country.

Crown lays out arguments as Pat King goes to trial on conduct during 2022 convoy protest

Crown attorneys are arguing a key figure in what became known as the Freedom Convoy is guilty of crimes in part because of his presence and conduct during the weeks-long protests in 2022.

Pat King is facing nine charges, including mischief, intimidation of police and other charges.

They say he was directly involved in organizing a slow-roll at the Ottawa airport and encouraged others to take part in the crime of mischief by telling them to continue honking their horns.

Protesters, colleges are about to find out that, yes, the law DOES apply to them, too

The campus protests may be winding down, but don’t worry — now the really expensive and destructive phase begins: the litigation.

This warms my heart. But then, as a law professor, I’m basically in the business of selling law degrees.

The campus protesters, and to some degree the universities where they protested, seem to have thought that the law didn’t apply to their actions.
