      You take someone, force them to stay in an enclosed space and to listen to loud noise 24/7, what do you call it?

      Hint: they do exactly that in Guantanamo

      That’s right, torture, and if you don’t consider that torturing people is violent then you’re one sick fuck.

      So, people using violent means to try and topple the government in place and replace it with the people they choose, what do you call that?

      Let’s not forget emergency services that couldn’t reach the people living there… Denying people medical treatments… What do we call that? 🤔

      Some people who were living downtown Ottawa at the time have PTSD from it.

        I call that not what happened, just a little fantasy you created. They can’t even seem to get public mischief charges of the leaders to stick without wildly overwrought hysterical fish stories.

          Dude, I just described a violent act but you live in a fantasy world where torture tactics don’t count if they’re perpetrated by a large enough number of people!

            You attempted to conflate honking horns with torture, so…yeah not really much of an argument. I could describe living in the same world as people as stunned as you as torture, but it’s not really.

              Honking air horns 24/7 right next to where people were living and preventing people from getting their medications or emergency services.

              There’s a major difference there.

                  I live close by, there’s tons of videos of it including videos from the people who were participating, tons of media coverage of these situations, do you ever get out of your fantasy world?

                    We all saw the videos, the only real violence was committed by the police, despite all the attempts at denial. Surely you’ve not forgot the cop horse incidents they tried so hard to pretend didn’t happen? Or, for that matter, the swastika flag wavers still wearing their duty shoes? All the police chiefs that resigned like they were be forced to violate the constitution or something in the run up? The fake theft of the truck load of police rifles as some sort of justification exercise that they didn’t quite make stick?
