Prominent Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber was sentenced to 12 months of house arrest and six months of curfew Tuesday, avoiding jail time for his role in the 2022 blockade.
“The accused committed a serious crime of mischief,” Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey told a packed downtown Ottawa courtroom Tuesday.
(Sidebar: serious, my @$$. You don't man-handle people who block the streets of Toronto with their fake flags of a fake state, do you?)
“The accused’s actions have had a significant detrimental effect on the citizens of Ottawa,
(Sidebar: read the public servants.)
... who wanted nothing other than to carry on living in their community without having horns honking day and night, the roads impassable, blocked by noising trucks emitting diesel fumes, making it impossible at times to even exit their own building.”
Barber’s conditional sentence begins with 12 months of house arrest followed by six months of curfew between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. He must also conduct 100 hours of community service.
Tamara Lich, another key Freedom Convoy figure, is still awaiting her sentence Tuesday afternoon, which the judge suggested would be a conditional sentence as well.
With her decision, Perkins-McVey rejected both sentencing submissions by the Crown for an “unprecedented” seven (Lich) or eight (Barber) year prison sentence and by the defence for an unconditional discharge.
Earlier this year, Perkins-McVey ruled Lich and Barber were guilty of mischief for their role in organizing the three-week protest that paralyzed downtown Ottawa in February 2022, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the process is the punishment.
It is punishment for humiliating the village idiot to such an extent that he ran from the capital.
Still a coward.
