Default Some guy drove into court building

Someone must have been pissed! Would have driven the whole block on the sidewalk it looks like.

News vans etc were set up but no camera etc, so likely not too long ago.

So this fellow was able to get past all those anti-car bomb measures that were built into the design post 9/11?

Weak.

He supposedly had a court date today. Guess he's getting a couple more charges added.

It's pretty easy to drive around a big concrete flower pot! (The same counter measures the world trade center set up after 1993)

The newspapers claimed that the guy was known to police and the police quote said something like 'we know about his ideology' and something else about incidents like this occuring around the country.

One 'ideology' that pops to mind is if this could be a 'freeman on the land' thing.

Are those the hilarious people who think they can exist outside the laws of Canada by claiming some kind of sovereignty loopholes?

It's funny that the majority of people I've met that can apparently claim to exist as a sovereign entity are from BC.

He was probably just riding up on the building's bumper; anticipating that the sheer, massive, awe-inspiring sight of his pickup truck in the building's rearview mirror would force it to change lanes so he could plow on through.

The building, of course, just smirked and slammed on its brakes.

"Your honour, I did not "DRIVE" my "VEHICLE" into the "BUILDING", I was operating my conveyance in a fashion that happened to intersect with a structure. I did not contract with any government or organization to allow a structure to be built where the intersection occurred therefore I am charging the government 1 million dollars for placing a structure in the path of my conveyance."
