Who rushed Steven Harper in Surrey?

I smell a rat.

How can we indentify the man who ran at Steven Harper in this video?

Mr. Magoo

Wait for some crank-case to boast about rushing Harper?

Do you think this was staged? Look at how well it fit with his speech. Wink

quizzical

looked like tony clement to me......

Mr. Magoo

Oh, wait.  I think I get it now.

It must be a FALSE FLAG thing, because no real protester is angry enough to do something so rash and inappropriate.  k00Ks might be mad, but they stay within the bounds of civil discourse.

Mr. Magoo, you blind fool, answer this: are the Conservatives capable of what I'm suggesting?

Since you asked so respectfully:  of course.  How could they not be?  I trust that's not your only "proof" that they're behind it.  That's like me saying that the local branch of my bank was robbed this afternoon.  Can anyone say that it COULDN'T have been someone working for Wayne Gretzky behind that balaclava??  It's very difficult to prove something in the negative like that.

But perhaps you'd do me the same kindness you requested and answer this:  are non-Conservatives just as capable of doing this?  To put it another way, do you suppose there might be any headstrong people angry at Stephen Harper?

Rob Anders?  

He's been kicked out of the US before for stunts at town halls and after two nomination losses because he was too right wing even for the local Cons, he's not really doing much.

I wouldn't put anything passed the Cons. It wouldn't be a huge surprise.

If this is a false-flag, and the guy ends up being charged by the RCMP, he's likely gonna be pretty ticked off at Harper, for putting him up to the activity, and then letting him dangle helplessly in the legal system.

There was one notorious event in the 2008 US Democratic primaries that I'm pretty sure was staged by the candidate who was the supposed victim. But as far as I know, that didn't involve the perps getting hauled off by the cops.

Using the same logic, it must have been that local transient who burglarized my garage -- I wouldn't put it past him.

Being escorted out of a public event does not necessarily result in charges. Trust me, I know this from my misspent youth.

 

Mr. Magoo

And that means what?  That the fix is in?

Why would the Conservatives do this? Minor story and nobody gains or loses.

Basement Dweller

It fit their message nicely.

Mr. Magoo

May you forever be excused from jury duty.

No, but unless you've got the cops in on it, paying someone to stage a fake attack on the PRIME MINISTER, in the presence of mounties, is running a pretty big risk that the guy will at least be taken into police custody and interrogated.

Yeah, it would be a more plausible false-flag if someone had shown up at an anti-Harper protest wearing a Justin Trudeau t-shirt and carrying a sign that read "FEMALE CURCUMCISION IS NOT BARBARIC!!" That's similar to what happened during the 2008 Democratic primaries, referenced in my earlier post.

Sean in Ottawa

This story does not reflect well on the Conservatives-- a reminder how not accessible they are. that people are desperate to protest. It is not a win for anyone -- I think this was a legit protestor picking the wrong type of protest and not being effective.

Officers have laid charges after a man showed up at an all-candidates’ debate in northwest Calgary Thursday night allegedly wearing a Confederate Flag over his face and threatening that “someone could get hurt.”

Police say the man arrived at the Tuscany Club at 212 Tuscany Way N.W. around 8:30 p.m., unbeknownst to the Calgary Rocky Ridge candidates, wearing a black hoodie, black shorts, and a white hat, with a Confederate flag bandana covering his face.

When confronted by staff in the lobby, the man complained about the niqab, a face covering worn by some Muslim women, and indicated he was “there to make a point” and that “someone could get hurt,” said police spokesman Kevin Brookwell.

 

Mr. Magoo

This "Wayne Joseph Fillo" fellow is just the paid-off "fallguy" needed to give legitimacy to this whole affair.  Watch for his Senate appointment any day now.

Meanwhile, the REAL "rusher" was this man:

Tony Clement.
