And now for something completely different...
Been out all day and catching up. A few points:
- Today's report that the police already knew about the video and its detailed contents is consistent with what my source had tipped me and that I reported here 3 or so days before the news of the video broke. In conjunction with other information that that same source disclosed, I can say that I have a lot of confidence that either the video itself or wire taps describing it will be viewed/heard/read in court.
- Bill Blair refusing to discuss whether the Mayor is involved is clearly incriminating. If the Mayor had no involvement, the simple answer would have been "No". Why would they not clear an innocent man if there was no connection? Watch the press conference: the Chief is talking about Rob Ford and the video without saying "Rob Ford" and "video".
- It's becoming increasingly apparent that the video is involved in the murder of Anthony Smith. Given that it is a probable motive, the prosecution will submit it as evidence. Either the video itself or evidence of its existence including a detailed description. The police can't or probably won't prosecute the Mayor for possession but he may be charged for withholding evidence, obstruction of justice or as some indications suggest, serious crimes beng committed to retrieve the video. No doubt the police are also investigating whether the Dixon City Bloods have exerted any influence over the Mayor's official business.
With the evidence now retrieved in this morning's raid and suspects in custody being interviewed, if there is anything on the Mayor, he's going to be called to speak with the police in a matter of days.
When it comes before a court that there is a video and its involvement in Anthony Smith's murder, Ford will have to admit to it or continue running away from accountability and adding the Police to his delusion of persecution. Will he resign? Never. That chance passed with Towhey's firing. Even if he's arrested, he'll likely be out on parole and can carry on being Mayor. Unless he were far worse of a person than our wildest imaginations and is charged with ordering the murder of Anthony Smith and encarcerated awaiting trial, we're stuck with him until Election Day 2014.
and kids being kids, they may say there are but are not. I find it hard to believe 15% or more are gay. I think that those that are might want the number to be higher or at least spread the work that it is. In the future you will have people saying 50% and people will believe it. How could the population have increased so much if that were true. I wonder if they will someday figure out genetically how people turn out to be gay. For sure they will.
There has to be some mistake. There's no way the Mayor could've been at the festival - he should be spending time with his family, perhaps even at his cottage.
It is absolutely ridiculous to suggest the "evidence" of a video would be submitted in a court case. Especially in a murder case. Totally ridiculous.
This is a hate crime against overweight ppl (and possibly drug addicted ppl).
Possibly. As discussed at length earlier, there are surprisingly few mechanisms to remove a sitting mayor. But significant jail time would be one.Btw, Ford is still the Mayor. And will be for as long as HE pleases.
She should go to jail. This is a hate crime against overweight ppl (and possibly drug addicted ppl).
I absolutely can't stand when people do this! I'd rather if people ignored him instead.I'm always sort of grossed out by the people who throw themselves at someone like Ford just so they can get their picture taken with someone famous and put up a jokey comment on their facebook page. Ford and his people take that as support, but to the young people getting the photos it's just a joke, like getting their picture with Silver Elvis or Zanta.
Was the drink in question... Coke?
15% of the population is gay? It doesn't make sense if 2% of 65+ identify as gay, but 15% of younger ppl. It makes absolutely no sense.
Oh the irony - an average joe throwing juice can get one arrested but having multiple run ins with the law in a position of power (CoI, reading while driving, this whole crackgate saga) doesn't.
Touche.
