Day 2 of Marshal Law in Canada

...Horses ...go in the direction the rider tells them to go.

Have you ever seen a real horse? (Not the kind you put a nickel in to ride in front of the grocery store.)
In any case, you should take canpakes' advice about the banana peels.

I don't have the horses now. I have Lamborghinis instead. No need to feed a Lamborghini every day.

Excitement grows as the evil redcoat cavalry charges innocent demonstrators and tramples them under the hooves of their foam-flecked steeds:

Roberta Paulsen: Dead, trampled by a police horse
February 19, 2022 by Rahul Prajapati

According to reports, the Ottawa demonstrator who died was named Roberta Paulsen. As they continued to protest government limits on COVID-19 and vaccine requirements in Ottawa, police on horseback reportedly galloped past a group of Canadian demonstrators called the “Freedom Convoy.”

A video shared on Twitter appears to show two Ottawa police officers stomping two people with their horses as they walked through the crowd. When the horse stepped on the humans, the crowd rushed in to assist them.
The throng is then pushed back in the footage by officers wearing riot gear and using batons. The crowd reacted angrily to police orders for demonstrators to vacate the area immediately or face arrest.

And (with a picture of the deceased):

Roberta Paulsen Death - Obituary - Dead : Woman Trampled by police Horse Ottawa during protest

(and lots of repeats of this shocking story of death-dealing police brutality - just Google)

Then, disappointingly:

Roberta Paulsen, the woman who was reported to have died after being trampled by the horse is fine.





And note the last sentence in this:

Ottawa: police use pepper spray and stun grenades to clear trucker protest

Accused of being heavy-handed, especially when sending in Mounties on horseback, police said there had been no serious injuries.

Canadian police on Saturday used pepper spray and stun grenades to try to restore normality to the capital, Ottawa, after trucks and demonstrators occupied the downtown core for more than three weeks in a protest against pandemic restrictions.

After clearing a portion of the blockade and making more than 100 arrests on Friday, police on Saturday morning moved quickly to disperse the main portion of the blockade in front of parliament and the prime minister’s office, making new arrests.

“We told you to leave. We gave you time to leave. We were slow and methodical, yet you were assaultive and aggressive with officers and the horses,” police said in a statement to the truckers posted on Twitter.

“Based on your behaviour, we are responding by including helmets and batons for our safety.”

Police also used loud speakers to warn the crowd to disperse or face arrest.

Some loud bangs of stun grenades were heard and witnesses saw people being pepper-sprayed. Protesters were throwing smoke canisters, police said.

Several large trucks that have been parked in front of parliament for weeks drove away as the police cordon approached.

Again on Saturday, police smashed vehicle windows to make arrests. But the overall number of protesters had dwindled dramatically.

Many of the main organizers had been taken into custody. Some had reportedly left. Accused of being heavy-handed, especially when sending in Mounties on horseback, police said there had been no serious injuries.

“We hear your concern for people on the ground after the horses dispersed a crowd. Anyone who fell got up and walked away. We’re unaware of any injuries,” police said.

So much for that ...

But who was this "Roberta Paulsen" who was really someone's Aunt Candy, who died (but not really) in Ottawa under the flailing hooves? This is not her first time in the limelight, it seems:

Roberta Paulson rumour debunked: Woman shot at US Capitol was named Ashli Babbitt

Max Seeley
1 year ago

A Fight Club-inspired and 4chan-created rumour has been circulating on Twitter today: that the protester who was shot during the breech at the US Capitol building was named Roberta Paulson.

That rumour has since been thoroughly debunked and the real name of the protester revealed to be Ashli Babbitt. Babbitt succumbed to her injuries in hospital earlier today, 7 January.

Something very weird is going on. Can we expect to see Roberta Paulsen/Paulson die repeatedly at the hands of the brutal lackeys of fascist oppression in coming years? Poor woman ...

I don't have the horses now. I have Lamborghinis instead. No need to feed a Lamborghini every day.

But of course you do. You're so believable.

[Res Ipsa]

Could you post a link to the full video?

I have seen multiple videos, but nothing like what Res is describing.

But this - One protester tried to pull something off the black horse, just before it tried to jump over the people lying on the ground, is not as nonsensical, to me, as this: The black horse isn’t trampling - it’s trying to not trample.

This is not a circus. Horses do not jump over people. Horses do not try not to trample, they go in the direction the rider tells them to go.

Canada is in big trouble if Trudeau's explanation is that the horses were trying to not trample. I would put that right up there with the shots that were fired at Rittenhouse first, which were meant to disarm him and warn him that he was not in trouble.

This was Canada's Kristallnacht.

I would rather be on the side of that woman who was standing next to her mobility scooter when a Warmblood trampled her, than on the side of the ding dongs making excuses for trampling Canadians.

Here is a slow motion video of a portion of the entire video. You can clearly see that each rider has a small bag attached to the saddle. You can clearly see the guy in the checkered shirt try to grab that bag on the black “trampling” horse. You can clearly see that the black horse jumps over, not tramples, aunt Candy. https://youtu.be/NC63LTYCT1k

I have found only one video taken at ground level, note with dozens of edited versions posted by trample truthers on YouTube, some breathlessly claiming that both individuals shown on the ground died.

I’m not any kind of video expert, but it looks to me as if the shot from higher up that you posted is a single frame from a video, but I haven’t seen the actual video. Have you seen it? If not, why did the person who took it release only a single misleading frame?

[Binger]

I have not seen a video from higher up. I have no idea why the person released a portion or if it is taken from video.

Do you mean to say by that Binger was posting disinformation in this post, below? -

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

This is the woman that Trudeau's Hanoverian's trampled today. I can see why you hate her with all your damned guts, Gadianton. But more, I can see why you are so damned afraid.

Oh yeah. Should have said, this woman was posing as a single rail jump at a single day event. Jesus F. Christ, panny.

What is it conservatives say when black people get shot by police? Something like “if they’d just what the police told them to do, they’d be fine.” This illegal occupation of downtown streets has been going on for three weeks. The protesters were told starting a week ago to leave or face arrest. These folks had plenty of warning, including today before the police began clearing the streets. Do you see anybody in this picture complying with the police?

How long were protesters blocking the streets bordering Lafayette Park before Trump sent the riot squad in so he could cross the street and hold a Bible upside down? Was it three weeks? If a black protester tried to take a US cop’s weapon away from him, what do you think the odds are that he’d be alive after that?

You wanna point fingers? Point the fingers at the organizers who told people to stand firm and resist the cops, instead of telling this nice person who needed mobility assistance that it wasn’t safe to stay. They suckered lots of nice folks into a staying in a situation they knew would not be safe.

Was this nice person injured? How badly? Thank heavens the nice person has free health care.

ETA: Having now scene a full video, this photo is pretty misleading. The police has opened up a path for the horses. Several people tried to block the lane. One protester tried to pull something off the black horse, just before it tried to jump over the people lying on the ground. The black horse isn’t trampling - it’s trying to not trample.

The guy in the yellow and black shirt just below the woman in the red coat is the guy who grabbed at the black horse. You can see how the horse is of course as it tries to avoid the people on the ground. At the top of the photo, you can see two more protesters trying to block the horses.

Thanks for bringing up Lafayette Square.

Let’s unpack that a bit more.

I accept every position that was argued by the mainstream media or by the Biden campaign or by the NYT at the time of the initial incidents at Lafayette Square and at the time of the photo op. What were those positions and conditions?

I will accept any and all claims and positions made regarding the protestors and the park police or SS response at that time. What were those claims and conditions?

References would be nice, but not necessary. I accept anything you offer here and agree to it in advance.

I am not attacking or judging anyone’s interpretations.
