    What is wrong with pointing out that immigration is being used as a form of corporate welfare?

    I doubt you would find many truckers who would disagree, one of the most obvious and blatant examples for sure.

    If you don't want to be active in government then don't complain
    How does the old saying go?

    What you describe is assault with valid threat matching three criteria I would need to draw and open fire as a licensed carry. Don't worry about the 50. Many will scatter and the few who present contuining threats will be stopped.

    Big boy against wall would be first. The police will certainly react and do as they are trained and we will go from there. It wont take but two heartbeats to snap their spines straight and out comes the guns and orders.

    And that is that. Besides the media circus. court law-suing etc. And prosecutor review in my state.

    Society is not what it was and with constant agitators seeking to destroy, disrupt or even attack I am not surprised at all.

    Ammo? no problem. 5 magazines and about 35 seconds to settle the issue. It wont take half that long hopefully. As far as evidence I carry a body cam now so... that will settle quickly the entire situtaion.

    I would hate the whole mess in the first place. I would be not obligated to involved myself or be near such a problem area where there is a threat of mob action in the first place. We are not a stand your ground state. We do however have castle doctrine among other considerations.

    The biggest issue was being around something like that. Don't do it again.

    Any time your area dissolves into arnachy or mob action etc you have no rule of law anymore. Just Mob.

    I grew up in Baltimore and we twice thrashed military formations trying to get across the city by mob action due to the really powerful sentiments in the civil war time. The military units were run off. And latter the city was occupied by cannon and troops to keep the mobs corralled for the duration of that war.

    However Washington DC in 1968 declared Baltimore a Hostile City and invaded with three divisions of Infantry. With additional formations in reserve. In 7 days the city was subdued. And that was that.

    I’m confused. Were you protesting illegal immigration in general, the Lima program, or the amount of immigrants in trucking? Why did you choose to be passive when you were put up against the wall? You can use reasonable force to defend yourself. Why did you not pour water on the person that did it to you? That’s a proportionate response? I’m trying to figure out what exactly your protesting here.

    Canada has a LEGAL immigration problem, people just want a stop to immigration, not against ANY individuals per say, just policy

    There were 4 old guys against about 100, If I threw that guy on the ground, the cop standing there doing nothing while he assaulted me would have surely arrested me!, or even worse I would have been up against a number of people attacking me. I thought it best to keep my cool until the clown did something serious.

    Another point, after about 20+ cops arrived, a woman was allowed to stand up on a block with a bullhorn shouting F### you, etc, further inciting the mob to violence. Not one cop went over and told her to get down and stop shouting profanities and threats in public over a bullhorn.

    LOL, both the Globe and Mail, and Global news portrayed the incident as though the mob had run off a group ov violent white supremacists, it was 4 old guys in their 50's.

    Excuse the cliche but thats "FAKE NEWS"

    People want a stop to immigration, it causes massive youth unemployment, bankrupts healthcare and schools and many other issues.

    Just take a look at Ontario, it has the highest level of debt of any provincial or state government in the world.

    So your protest was to stop immigration all together? Why did you not use a proportionate level of force to defend yourself? Your well within your rights to do so.
