And finally, right here in Alberta.....
Vigilantism cheered: A hero in handcuffs
Alberta Vigilantism.
A vigilante is a person who violates the law in order to exact what they believe to be justice from criminals, because they think that the criminal will not be caught or will not be sufficiently punished by the legal system.
Several groups and individuals have been labeled as vigilantes by various historians and media. Vigilantes have been central to several creative fictional works and are often depicted as being heroes and retaliatory against wrongdoers.
Members of community watch programs and others who use legal means of bringing people to justice are not considered vigilantes. For example, in 1979 Curtis Sliwa founded the Guardian Angels in New York City, a recognized crime fighting organization that now has chapters in many other cities. See also citizen's arrest.
So, all the rural community needs to do is start up it's own version of the Guardian Angels! This is something to think about, did the community have a rural crime watch in place? If not, they should get busy and start one.
The point. We have Sudan kidnappers, Somali pirates, Sri Lankan protesters supporting a terrorist organization, and the only one being called a criminal and charged, is a farmer protecting his property. His name has been released and reported in the press, but the guy who actually stole the ATV and truck has not been named, I wonder why? I used to respect the RCMP and I wrote most of the negative reports off as typical lefty pandering to the criminals, but lately I am starting to think that Alberta would be better off with our own provincial police force.
Notice that these criminals are never called criminals or terrorists, except for one poor Alberta farmer. I hope he goes for trial by his peers, which would be 12 farmers if our justice system worked properly. Remember when the Liberals jailed our farmers for selling their own wheat?
Thursday's demonstration was organized by a minority of rebels, according to the federal minister responsible for the wheat board, Ralph Goodale. Most farmers support the current regulations, he said during an interview in Ottawa.
Notice how Goodale had no problem calling our western farmers REBELS, not protesters!!! Now they are being called VIGILANTES, not ordinary citizens protecting their property! Wow, Alberta really is the wild west! Guess that's why I feel safer here, we know the difference between terrorists, criminals, gangs and ordinary citizens.

"Farmers Are Rebels and Vigilanties!"
spell check is easy to use! yes it is! Pot meet kettle!
"We have Sudan kidnappers..."
what have they done with Sudan?
I can see it's going to be a GREAT week!
Goodale threw 6 Western Canadian farmers in jail for something Eastern farmers do lawfully, sell their own grain to a buyer of their choice.
We shall not forget.
Well S.Q., if you want to split hairs, at least you could spell your own name correctly. You keep forgetting to add that little thingy over the first 'e' in Québec.
I hate to be a stickler for detail, but if you insist on continually peeing on the floor, I'm going to continually call you on it.
Oh yes, it will be a great week, exposing liberal moonbats for the crybabay sissies they really are.
One of the benifits of being Conservative is witnessing the misery of the febble existence of limp wristed lefties, so devoid of any meaningful set of values that all they have left to do is pick on someones spelling errors and typos.
That, and to label you as 'racist' when they are on the losing end of the arguement.
And what has Harper done to change any of this in the last three years?
Do I hear crickets chirping?
Eskimo *sigh*
Hunter specifically called out CTV for not using spell check. Then she mocks them. This is after putting "...Vigilanties!" in her headline! sheesh...
Can you spell I.R.O.N.Y.?
The word is 'feeble' and the other is 'argument' and the other 'benefits'.
Homeskooling don't work does it?
Hey S.Q. I make too much money to worry about spelling. You are only a crybaby, picking on crossed t's and dotted i's. Nothing to add to the conversation, just perpectual peeing and moaning that Hunter is a meanie and because of your advanced spelling you are somehow 'better'.
Whatever float your socialist boat, but remember, the door is over there.
"I make too much money to worry about spelling."
well, since we can't see yer gold watch or yer paris hilton pearly whites or anythun' else aboutcha we cn only judgya by yer printin' eskimo. too rich fer skool makes ya no less the fool go ask geo dubbya. there's the door, haha yes mrs. crabopple
People tend to take you a little bit more seriously when ya can spell. Just saying...
...and it WAS Hunter that pointed out that CTV can't spell...
make good money at Timmy's do ya?
Nice try S.Q., (and mystery meat)but the Alberta Advantage sees that I probably pay more in taxes than you make in a year. Or two for that matter.
Flame on, sissies. Looks like I touched a nerve as your true colours are really showing now.
Specifics Eskimo?
I make 2 million a year. You?
"I hate to be a stickler for detail, but if you insist on continually peeing on the floor, I'm going to continually call you on it."
Are you sure licking it up is the best way to call him/her on it?
liberal supporter, aka nonny mouse, aka wingnutter, aka TrollWilson, aka cc
if you make $2 m a year, why are you pretending to be so many other people?
wilson, I am not any of those people.
I have never posted at hunter's as anything but liberal supporter, or the occasional anonymous (when hunter allowed anons).
I have never posted at CC as anything but liberal supporter.
I have never posted at neo's as anything but liberal supporter, or anonymous prior to August 2008 when neo demanded I use a name. I have refrained from using anonymous ever since.
Perhaps you don't understand keeping one's word. Not surprising, considering.
LS - if you really earned $2 million annually, I'm sure you'd be far too busy to be obsessed with this blog. Try again, buddy.
I will say one thing, though: you did not actually specify that you earned $2 million DOLLARS per year so I suppose you could call me on that assumption.
SQ - you are a bitter and petty little woman.
Still waiting for "Eskimo" to back up his or her sneers, in which it was implied that Eskimo is somehow a more valuable human being due to his or her income.
Yes, EofE, it is dollars, though only mere Canadian dollars. I do have US dollar holdings, so I can factor out exchange fluctuations. Many people in this bracket are past the workaholic phase and I do have the time to visit a few blogs, often while traveling.
EofE, it is funny hearing I am "obsessed" with this blog from you, someone who never fails to show up for each and every post. Though I only frequent a handful of blogs, I have never seen you anywhere else. I assumed you are hunter's husband, based on your attacks on anyone who disagrees with hunter.
One of the reasons I visit CPC supporting blogs is I hope to see a change of heart in the current composition that calls itself Conservative. I'm all for fiscal conservatism, so I generally gravitate to conservative policies. But the current CPC, obsessed as it is with revolutionary change to our entire system, is dangerous in my view. It seems, among other things, you want to shred the "safety net". "Eskimo"'s sneers are an example of that thinking. I think Eskimo's words epitomize the "I'm all right Jack" attitude that wants to destroy the safety net. It even seems to be it is for reasons way more than just save some money on taxes by destroying welfare and public health care. It seems to be a desire that is out of spite.
But it is this safety net that allows me to walk with little fear in most areas of our cities. Not just little fear of being mugged (in most places), but little fear that some guy who coughs as I walk by has just made me deathly sick (anywhere). Far cheaper, and generally safer, having the various forms of safety net, than living in a police state.
So much for everyone staying on topic!
I could care less who makes how much or what names you may or may not post under. LS, my husband doesn't even read my blog let alone comment on it.
Now, try to stay on topic please.
Actually, LS's comment was completely on topic since you, Hunter explicitly stated at the end of your post that you feel safer in Alberta. I assume you mean safer than elsewhere in Canada. LS actually considered what you said. It would be great if you could address those points - help us get beyond vigilanties (sic)... rhymes with panties and so on.
Are there 2 liberal supporters then?

On topic,
Albertans have taken it on the chin for as long as I can remember.
The LibLuvin media take shots at us because they can. period.
Wilson, sorry no linky worky.
No one in this thread has taken a single shot at Alberta. On the other hand if, as you say, you've taken that many on the chin, you should have thicker skin. Or consider you might be in the wrong ring for your weight.
"Albertans have taken it on the chin for as long as I can remember."
Translation: some Albertans are pretty quick to shout out "they're picking on me"!
I have lived in Alberta all my life. My family went through hell in the '80's.
If Albertans are supposed to be so self-reliant, then why don't the rest of you pull up your socks and stop whining about the past already. I know I have, and I am much happier for it.
You may be happier Gayle, but now you just blame conservatives (or conservatism in general) for all of societies ills, pumping up lefties as more compassionate, smarter, etc, etc, etc.
But if you want to debate whining about the past, nobody does it better than Québec. It's the only reason they are still within Confederation.
Rather than play the traditional role of a macho shakedown artist, Québec plays the 'woe is us' card instead. It's what defines them.
Personally I'd rather define myself as a self-reliant individual than a collective of leeches waiting on a handout.
Québec has a large population and abundant resourses. But I guess real work, you know the kind that gets your hands dirty and might require one to use one's own initiative and be risky that scares people. To some, it's much too easy to play vicitm and think it's someone else's 'obligation' to look after you.
It's also a recruitment strategy of the NDP and LPC to pump up 'victims groups' that they really have it bad and the only way to salvation is through them. Some might be even so inclined to call this a Jesus complex.
One more thought, if Alberta oil is so 'dirty' and 'bad', why are so many so-called have not provinces willing to swallow this alleged pride and gladly endorse the back of that government cheque, much of the amount courtesy of 'dirty oil'?
Ironic, eh?
On a previous thread you droned on and on (an on) about the Alberta farmer breaking the law in shooting the intruder. That's for the court to decide and you may well be correct. The vast majority of those in disagreement with you don't agree with this part (and other parts I'm sure) of the criminal code.
E:
Do you have a quote from me blaming all of society's ills on conservatism or conservatives? Do you think such wild hyperbole establishes some sort of point?
Let me see if I understand your point.
Let's not talk about Albertans whining about the past - let's complain about Quebec instead! Nice deflection, but if it is not OK for Quebec to complain, then it is not OK for Alberta to do so either.
I suggest you stop touting "self-reliance" in reference to a province that mires itself in self-pity over some long-dead policy (NEP). And what, pray tell, does "dirty oil" have to do with my post?
As for the comments about the farmer - feel free to think what you want. All I was doing was pointing out that the law dictates he had to be charged, and that if the law is to change for him it will have to change for everyone. Allowing a home owner to shoot someone (who is no longer on his property and no longer has stolen property in his possession), means that same right will extend to teenagers fighting over Ipods. I was not endorsing one approach over the other. Why is it that people like you jump to conclusions about opinions based on a recitation of facts?
Are there 2 liberal supporters then?Not that I am aware of. You have neo's wild assertions and nothing else. I typically do not use my blogger ID there, just type it in where you can enter a name, just above the "anonymous" option. I recall only two comments using my name that were not me, but those were last year.
I checked the link you provided, and I hadn't seen the additional comments there, since I was offline for Good Friday through Easter. But they are simply neo's assertions and then you echoing them.
I hadn't seen the newspapers in a few days, and was wondering why there seems to such a concerted attack from the right wingers lately. The moaning about being treated unfairly shows a definite uptick. The attempts to marginalize the "left" as really being one person, or all in cahoots somehow, have really escalated.
After seeing articles in the Sun, talking about possible problems in the CPC, plus recent polls, I now understand.
