Video released by the RCMP shows what officers describe as a group storming the site of a violent attack at a B.C. camp for pipeline workers last week.
Mounties published three video clips Tuesday in connection with the “acts of violence and damage done” at the work camp last week.
In a news release, the RCMP said the videos show a group of people, some of whom are “armed with axes” approaching the Coastal GasLink camp on Thursday.
No doubt they’re white supremacist truckers.
Damaged industrial equipment, booby traps, incendiary devices and blockaded roadways — RCMP Chief Superintendent Warren Brown thought he had seen it all from protestors and activists during his time overseeing the north district of the province of British Columbia, but Thursday’s attack on a Coastal GasLink pipeline site was something different.
A group of anti-pipeline protesters attacked a pipeline worksite in British Columbia, Canada early Wednesday morning in what appears to be a highly coordinated assault with axes and blockades that resulted in widespread destruction.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they are “investigating an incident where individuals allegedly engaged in a violent confrontation with employees of Coastal GasLink, and with attending police officers along the Morice River Forest Service Road near Houston, BC.”
The man charged with killing six people and injuring 61 when he drove through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin last November, has pleaded not guilty on Friday to all 77 charges.
His lawyers also requested moving the trial to a different venue.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned Monday that the “proliferation of false or misleading narratives” that “sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions” is reason for Americans to be on alert for terrorism.
The suspect arrested over the car-ramming attack against the “Freedom Covoy” protesters in Winnipeg, Canada is an Antifa member with a long history of far-left militantism in Manitoba. David Alexander Zegarac, 42, of Headingley, Man., allegedly sped off to try and escape after the attack on Feb. 4, 2022, which injured four people. He ran multiple lights and resisted arrest when he was finally caught around 40 minutes later.
Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed compared the funds raised for the Truckers for Freedom Convoy to “terrorist financing” on Friday.
Noormohamed made the comment while answering questions about forcing fundraising platform GoFundMe to testify before a parliamentary committee.
On Tuesday, Department of Justice representatives informed a Senate committee of plans to gather a group of select attorneys to form a “Domestic Terror Unit” in light of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, noting that its number of investigations of alleged domestic terrorists have more than doubled since the spring of 2020. While admitting “there is no single federal crime labeled ‘domestic terrorism,’” a DOJ official promised to invoke a “criminal code” that allows enhanced sentences for certain crimes listed as “terror offenses.”
The Waukesha Christmas Parade killer leaned out his window to steer because someone had landed on his windshield and was blocking his view after he drove his SUV through the crowd, prosecutors said in a criminal complaint that added 71 new charges against him.
Darrell Brooks, 39, steered his Ford Escape for five blocks through the parade route in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, suburb of Waukesha on November 21, killing six people and injuring dozens more.
Authorities estimate that the SUV reached speeds of up to 25 mph and said some people landed on the hood, with Brooks carrying them along.
WAUKESHA, Wis. — For her whole life, 67-year-old Sharon Millard was so shy she used to ask her identical twin sister to go on dates in her place in high school.
But ever since Nov. 21, when Darrell Brooks allegedly plowed into dozens of people at the Waukesha Christmas parade, killing six people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring up to 60 others, Millard has felt compelled to speak about the atrocity she witnessed.
One of the people killed was Millard’s fellow “Dancing Granny” — 79-year-old Virginia “Ginny” Sorenson — who was tossed up in the air like a rag doll by Brooks’s SUV, police say.
Experts are blinded by the threat of the far-Right
… What is even more curious is the incuriosity of the elite media and extremism experts about the Brooks case. Had he been a white male who had expressed misogynistic views about women it is certain that they would have staged a giant moral panic about the global menace of incels and the far-Right.
But Brooks, who is a registered sex offender and trader in online hate, has attracted little sustained discussion or concern. To be clear: I’m not saying that the Brooks case should occasion a moral panic, or that he be given a terrorism charge. There’s still much that we don’t know about him, his state of mind, motives and indeed mental health. But I do think we should ask questions about the selection bias of the credentialed commentators and experts who command so much of our attention.
Darrell Brooks, the man accused of intentionally plowing his SUV into a crowd of people at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin, killing six people with ages ranging from 8 to 81, whined that he feels “demonized” in a self-pitying jailhouse interview.
In an interview published Wednesday , Brooks, who has a lengthy criminal record spanning decades and multiple states, appeared to express no remorse as he faces six homicide charges and cast himself as a victim who feels “dehumanized.”
The mother of Waukesha attack suspect Darrell E. Brooks Jr. has penned a lengthy letter charging that the American legal system failed to provide her mentally ill son adequate resources throughout his life.
According to Dawn Woods, Brooks came from a “loving Christian family and is the grandson of ministers,” alleging that he has “suffered from mental health issues since he was very young.”
Officials in Long Island, New York are investigating an explosion that was felt miles away and left a crater on the beach on Sunday. Local and federal authorities are working to determine if it was a test for something more nefarious, including a potential terrorist attack.
If Darrell Brooks were a white man who drove a car into a crowd of black people, the media would still be talking about Waukesha.
The name Darrell Brooks hasn’t been uttered a single time on CNN since last Thursday, November 25. Today marked the first time anyone on MSNBC mentioned Brooks by name since last Wednesday, November 24. The scant coverage came in the form of a hasty (34 seconds) news brief that ran once each on the network’s two morning programs, Way Too Early with Jonathan Lemire and Morning Joe.
