Did Ron’s comment last page sound like he was agreeing with us here? I had to read it twice, not sure one way or the other. Anyway, something pretty much everyone here is wrong about, at least according to conversations I’ve had with police, prosecutors, and lawyers on the subject. Lauren doesn’t have to do anything to get the little shithead who did this in legal trouble. She shouldn’t have to. It isn’t up to her to “file charges” or even necessarily to report it. Anyone could contact the Vancouver police, or the RCMP , and report it. There’s video evidence of a crime being committed, just draw the right person’s attention to it and the investigation starts with or without the co-operation of anyone, even any potential victims of a crime. The way I understand it is if a crown prosecutor believes a crime has been committed and it can be proven, and the identity of the person responsible can be proven, then the decision to prosecute is in the hands of the prosecutor and only the prosecutor, even if the victim(s) don’t want the prosecution to go forward and aren’t co-operating. This applies to any investigations also. If she wants to sue, in civil court for assault or whatever that’s a different matter. But as far as criminal investigations go, the only thing that has to happen is the police force or prosecutor has to decide to go ahead. Not that I agree that Lauren shouldn’t do everything she can to kick the little shithead in the balls once good and hard, but even if she doesn’t want to, for any reason, he can still be made to face justice. So, are there any Rebels with an in to the justice system in Vancouver? Are there any Rebels at all on the left coast, other than Lauren? Start sending e-mails, texts, whatever. Start asking questions, publicly and loudly, about what has to happen to a reporter before the justice system steps in to protect their rights and safety? I like the Lloyd Mansbridge comparison, it should be brought up in those publicly asked questions. Anyone up for this in Canuckland?
