Linda Gibbons walks free after acquittal

It is sad that it has come to this, but we think it is time to have a forum for the discussion of cases where people are in prison for their political beliefs. Freedom-loving Canadians should be willing to stand up for political prisoners, even if they don't agree with them...even if we find their ideas abhorrent. We must fight for freedom of political thought and peaceful protest!

Linda Gibbons walks free after acquittal

TORONTO, Ontario, July 24, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Linda Gibbons tasted freedom for the first time in over seven months last Friday morning after a judge found her not guilty of disobeying a court order in connection with her arrest outside the Morgentaler abortion site in Toronto last December 16.

She was immediately released from custody to the greetings of supporters in a downtown Toronto courtroom as Justice William R. Wolski of the Ontario Court of Justice ruled Crown attorney Andrew Cappell had insufficiently proven Gibbons created a nuisance, as the charge had suggested. Wolski said Gibbons could not be convicted because the testimony of an attending sheriff was inadequate and no abortion staff were called to outline how Gibbons’s actions allegedly impacted them.

About time. This women is testimony to all that is wrong with justice in McGuintyland.

Yay!! A victory for free speech!

You know, it's funny, protesters are typically lionized by the Left Stream Media, but in Linda Gibbon's case she was practically ignored. How can this be?

It's actually quite simple. You've got to put a city under siege (as the G20 protesters did) or trash the Ontario legislature (as OCAP protesters did several years ago). Peaceful, respectful protest just doesn't cut the mustard.

I was thinking of the solo actors, Brigit Pap and the Kenny BBQ loudmouth. They are covered for two or three cycles wall to wall and lionized as heroes bravely following their conscience. They are so righteous because their beliefs are so deep and full of love (or sh1t perhaps).

Then Linda Gibbon does it, goes to jail a dozen timed, and the so called media doesn't know anything about it. Never heard of her.

They could turn the Goon Cops from the G-20 loose on Linda Gibbons.
The G-20 Goon Cops let the crowd run wild on Saturday so they could arrest the church crowd on Sunday.
Don't forget- in November write in Ross Perot.
