No remorse and they still believe they were doing the right thing. Oh, and a feeling of peace that comes from above. There's absolutely no getting through or reasoning with these fanatics.

People like Ezra Levant have used their platforms to convince these people they are in the right. They go to prison and he lives off the grift. It's incredible that man continues to run his empire of destruction with zero consequences, except those he foists on our civilization.

This doesn't fit the exact criteria but these threads chare interesting perspectives on individuals right to protest.

Not only is it not Alberta, it's not even the same country.

It's weird how this image keeps updating, so Fuzz's post looks like he's losing his mind and seeing things.

No, Grandpa, there's no giant crane over the highway.

Haha. I thought it was one of those verification captchas where I didn’t see a crane. Fuzz was on meth or something.

Ezra did have to resign from the Law Society.
