Reverse Blockade in Caledonia
The natives in Caledonia have finally taken down their blockade... but a new blockade has been put up, by non-natives, angered at how this whole situation has been dealt with.
No charges have been laid against any of the native protesters, and as a result, these non-natives are angry with the OPP and various government agencies, as they feel people ought to be held accountable for the havoc that this protest has caused over the last month.
I just finished watching a report on CBC Today, and a fist-fight or two had broken out, but other than that, things are contained. Since Friday, residents have been blocking the road to native traffic, preventing other natives from reaching their blockade. Residents are angry with how this entire situation has, in their view, NOT been dealt with.

Well, these people are clearly terrorists. They're even worse than the natives, who only threatened to beat a fireman, whereas these non-natives actually did beat them.
Terrorists. That's what they are. Let's be consistent in our critiques. ;)

i assume the non-native protestors would want to hold themselves accountable. the havoc is a "reaction" which right minded folk normally are able to "control". the inconvenienced yahoos could show their respect for another people's long standing dispute with the government, just like our frustrations with the fedlibs. were we reviled for our stand? think about it? yer an indian now.

In the footage I saw on CBC, it was a white guy who threw the first punch at a native... and he should be charged with "assult"... end of story.
Then there's the issue of the destruction of property... I heard that the windows on a native's SUV were smashed, so those who smashed them should be charged.
On the flip side, we all saw the footage of the native smashing the rear lights on an OPP or construction worker's van back in April... the question is, will he be charged?
I would expect so. Video footage, slam dunk case. To expect anything different is to have a double standard.
