Rob Ford's Toronto

Status
Not open for further replies.
From the Toronto SUN

Funny how these criminal court cases that touch upon the Mayor never go to trial but end up in a plea bargain. Had this gone to trial we would likely have heard details about what the debt involved (although we can pretty well guess). At the very least it would have been very embarrassing for the Ford family had this gone to trial. Instead McIntyre got a plea bargain and is already a free man!

Hat's off to the Toronto SUN for actually doing some investigative journalism for a change instead of just regurgitating TPS press releases.

"One of those arrested was Randy Ford, who was 24 at the time. Court records retrieved from the Archives of Ontario show that he was charged with assault causing bodily harm and the forcible confinement of Mr. Orlando. The records do not disclose how the case was resolved. Randy Ford’s lawyer at the time, Dennis Morris – currently representing Rob Ford in the controversy over the alleged crack-cocaine video – said he did not recall the incident…"

Don't forget about the Nazi in his family. Or was it KKK? I would love to be a fly on the wall in RoFos childhood home.

"The relevant section in a "Globe & Mail" article alleging the some members of the Ford family have had a long history of being involved in the drug trade details Rob Ford's sister's involvement with members of the KKK and Heritage Front:

Ms. Ford’s relationship with Mr. MacIntyre is even more perplexing because of an earlier incident: In 2005, he and another man were accused of shooting her in the face during an altercation in her parents’ basement. She survived the blast and was rushed to hospital, while Mr. MacIntyre fled in her mother’s Jaguar. Crown prosecutors later dropped numerous charges against him, while his co-accused, Michael Patania, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a handgun.

But even before that, there was gunplay – and it was fatal. Seven years earlier, Ms. Ford’s lover was fatally shot by her ex-husband, a drug addict named Ennio Stirpe. At his trial, Mr. Stirpe testified that his victim, Michael Kiklas, was a martial artist, which forced him to bring along the shotgun as “an equalizer.â€

Not mentioned in the press at the time was the fact that Mr. Kiklas was a white supremacist – a group with which Ms. Ford associated in the 1980s.

Her friends included Gary MacFarlane, a founding member of the short-lived Canadian chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, as well as the late Wolfgang Droege, perhaps the most notorious white supremacist in Canadian history, a former Klansman told The Globe in an interview. Two other former associates of Ms. Ford confirmed her association with known white supremacists.

Among Mr. Droege’s numerous criminal endeavours, he also sold cocaine and marijuana, which led to his death in 2005 when he was killed by a customer. Mr. Droege was incarcerated for much of the 1980s in U.S. prisons – both for drug trafficking and for his role in a bizarre plot to overthrow the government of Dominica in the Caribbean.

The former Klansman, who agreed to answer questions by e-mail on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Kathy Ford was close to the movement, but he said he couldn’t recall meeting any of the Ford brothers. He described hanging out in the Fords’ basement and being snubbed by Doug Sr. when Ms. Ford invited him to a party on the family boat. Her father, the former Klansman said, clearly did not approve of his beliefs, while she was engaging and fun but hardly a committed soldier in the race war.

“Some people are real ‘believers’ and know all the history, dates, facts etc… Others just join to piss off their parents, or carry out some other act of personal rebellion,†he wrote. “Clearly [Kathy] was the latter camp.â€

Again it should be noted that there isn't as yet any indication that Rob Ford was involved with these groups and individuals and it seems that the father, Doug Sr., disapproved of his daughter's relationship with white supremacists. Still, given how things have been for Ford the past week and a half, this revelation doesn't help."

The KKK Dominica plot aka "Operation Red Dog" was indeed bizarre. Droege joined eight other mercenaries including Don Black - a modern KKK icon and founder of notorious white pride site Stormfront.org - in their failed plot.

I think MetroMan mentioned this before. But imagine Rob Ford and the fear and anxiety he must feel every time he opens a paper or turns on the radio? This is only going to get crazier.

Indeed I had the popcorn in the microwave. Of course it all had to break out while I was away on an off-the-grid day. Catching up on all my text messages. From the skimming that I've done, I'm thinking of buying stocks in Orville Rededenbacher.
 
It never ends!! Where's his babysitters? This man should never party alone! it will be interesting to find out if he drove home drunk. or if he got a ride?
 
Pictures coming in from Twitter with him at Jones & Danforth surrounded by police who are blocking photographers - not sure if they are media or festival goers.

So many questions. First off where the hell are his handlers?


What handlers? That would be abusing taxpayers!


But seriously, when you hold high office and go to a city event you are supposed to have people with you to look out for you and arrange a place for photo ops......

Wonder if this has something to do with his special events staffer getting canned yesterday?
 
Little hard to follow what he's saying, but I get the impression from the one video that Drunken Coach Ford is really impressed with how big and solid and ripped some guy is.
