Meow everyone. my readers will no doubt know the name Shelley Carroll, Toronto city counselor . She is the one who has an unapologetic violent convicted anarchist on staff who open admits to having no respect for our laws. Here is Leah Henderson :
Here is what she said just before heading off to prison for her role in organizing a major riot :
” … STATEMENT READ IN COURT AT SENTENCING HEARING
All you need to know about me is that I am a person of conscience, I came to this situation from a place of morality within myself, and I am a member of a community that shares that morality and a powerful vision for a future that is truly free.
I stand here guilty of breaking your laws, not the laws of justice.
The court has been told, “this prosecution is not political”, and that this has been done to protect society from danger.
The truth is this entire prosecution is born from the politics of fear.
Fear of our ideas, fear of what we represent:
Freedom.
A Freedom that your jails will not confine.
I am not here for approval.
I am here because this is what stands for justice on this colonized land.
Though I stand here being judged by you, I am accountable to more, that is beyond these walls.
I am accountable to the indigenous communities whose lands we are on. To the earth who we’re daily assaulting with saws, and chemicals. To the elders in my life and to the generations yet to come.
The laws that govern our societies are not laws of community, or laws of consensus, they are laws of oppression. Laws that underpay and overwork mothers. That deport the poor and those of colour. Laws that rob Indigenous Nations of their traditions, their land, their childhoods. Laws that blame the unemployed and rewards those that get rich on their backs.
I have been deeply and profoundly affected by this process, but have not been changed by it. I have been moved by the incredible support that I have received, far beyond what I could have imagined. It has been made more clear to me through this process that this vision for the future is part of a groundswell.
I want to say thank you to everyone that has supported me, thank you to my friends, my family and my lawyer.
I submit to your jails because today you hold many of the weapons, and many people under your spell. A day is coming when that will not be so.
A day is coming where the distorted mirror that hides the lies of capitalism and colonialism will shatter. … ”
With low life rejects like Leah Henderson on her staff, one really should not be overly surprised that Shelley Carroll herself would resort to some level of personal entitlement , one where she thinks she is somehow above, better then the rest of of.
Shelley is also the same person I interviewed briefly a while about housing and preferential treatment being given to certain groups. In this video, you see getting visibly angry when she is asked the tough question Canadians want answers to , angry to the point where she storms off :
Well, our brainless city politician, who, I will add, also sits on the Toronto Police Services Board , the same board where SHE gets to dictate to the police what they can and cant do, has decided that she, is far more entitled than the rest of us mere plebes . She is so entitled, that laws meant to serve the public , and are designed to keep us safe while driving, clearly, do not, and should not apply to her.
Now, while us mere plebes and lower life forms would be caught and served with a $ 490.0 ticket plus several demerit points for this highly dangerous driving offense, this brainless bimbo, on the other hand, BOASTS about her willful flaunting public safety , as if we are less than nothings in her eyes. Now, as idiotic as her actions were, she could have at least made even a half assed attempt to apologize for her crime, but NOOOOOO . Instead, she flaunts her entitlement even more by offering up some half assed excuse to justify her putting the public in danger.
Shelley, if you can read , please note this, as , this will come back to haunt you as you seek the nomination for the liberal party in the next federal election. The public will be reminded about your blatant disregard for our safety as we are on the road .
Once you finish reading this , please make sure you head over to my great friend Gregs blog, for his take on this same issue. You find his story right here .
