Pat King, one of the most prominent figures of the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, has been found guilty on five counts including mischief and disobeying a court order.
A judge in an Ottawa courtroom Friday said the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that King was guilty on one count each of mischief, counselling others to commit mischief and counselling others to obstruct police. He was also found guilty of two counts of disobeying a court order.
The Alberta resident was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police himself.
King could be facing up to 10 years in prison.

So, protest leads to imprisonment? I know that a lot of disruption was caused by this protest, but a possible 10 year sentences seems crazy.
I’ll bet if he was protesting Israel or Russia, or FOR trans rights this would have amounted to nothing.

I remember in the old Soviet Union there was a crime called “Malicious Hooliganism” that could send you to a gulag for “reeducation”.

Much more to this than just a resemblance, a lot more.
