Wow what happened to free speech and the right to protest?

There's a saying: "Your right to swing your fist ends at my face".

They can protest as much as they want, but when it starts impinging on other folk's freedom then it starts to become a problem.

Yep! Looks like the Save Old Growth douchebags are now also vandalizing heritage buildings:

The Save Old Growth goofballs have just hit a new low by spray painting the recently restored Heritage Hall in Vancouver. This is *the* dimmest group of advocates in BC, each week alienating people to their cause in a fresh new way.

The heritage plaques screams colonialism to them

I figured out a good court sentence for the old growth protestors.

In their name they should tear down an acre of old growth forest.

Guarantee these guys never put their money where their mouths are . As in they wouldn't last a season tree planting or wildland fire fighting.

Yep. I have been waiting for the first gas station or car dealership arson. Everything is justified to these idiots.

Pat Bay Highway reopens after morning protest by Save Old Growth
Protesters say an activist was injured after a support beam for a platform was damaged by a driver, causing the platform to collapse.

Boo frickin' Hoo. The snowflake should go back to school.

Speaking of which, the ringleader of this band of eco-thugs is one Zain Haq an SFU foreign student from Pakistan. If he is on a student visa, why hasn't he been deported? Surely being arrested and found guilty would invalidate his visa.

What annoys me about these protests is I actually support the cause of stopping all old growth logging in BC given how little is left and how much second growth there is to log, but these “protestors” are such annoying 🞵🞵🞵 clowns and their tactics are so off putting and detrimental to their cause. I really feel they have lost the thread here.

hahahaha too funny. maybe that jolt to the head woke up that one assclown.

Metro-One · #**5395** Posted **Jun 14, 2022, 1:22 AM**

It’s funny how some are trying to claim that it was cut, but the video clearly shows no such action and you can even see the “support” snap as it falls.

These people aren’t engineers to say the least.

ROFL! Was it perhaps a wooden ladder they used? Oh, the irony with these imbeciles.

These assclowns have turned basically everyone against their cause by now. Lots of comments on Reddit suggest logging one hectare of old growth forest for every single stunt these idiots pull.

Maybe it was symbolic of old growth trees being cut down? Timber

They should say that the ladder was made of old growth timber, if it has been second growth it wouldn’t have toppled over!

Twenty-one year old Simon Fraser University history student Zain Haq has spent nine days in jail, been arrested numerous times, threatened a hunger strike and now helps lead a band of climate change activists intent on ending the logging of old-growth forests in B.C. by annoying the hell out of people stuck behind their highway blockades.

Zero commitment.
