Trudeau vows to freeze anti-mandate protesters' bank accounts

14. Don't equate "civil disobedience" with this astroturf nonsense.

When people in the U.S. protest (notably liberals who have protested all sorts of thing over the past century) - they are arrested and put in jail for various and sundry reasons. Unfortunately, many more violently than others. In fact, that becomes a badge of honor.

When BLM and George Floyd protestors took to the interstates here in Philly, this is what happened to them (much to the eventual chagrin of our deep blue city and Democratic mayor) -

In the case of this RW crap - this same funder - "GiveSendGo" that has had its various holding banks cut off money, has been a tool of the Proud Boys and other RW extremists, and was used to help finance the January 6 insurrection. And if you support that, then there are bigger issues.

Right-wing extremists, including man arrested after Capitol riot, using Christian fundraising site: CNN

Right-wing extremists, including at least one man arrested after the Capitol riot, are making use of Christian fundraising website GiveSendGo.com, including to raise money for the Jan. 6 protest that preceded the assault, CNN reported on Wednesday. A CNN analysis determined that more than two dozen fundraisers on GiveSendGo have been related to contesting the presidential election results, raising money for people to protest in Washington and other right-wing causes.

Hawaiian Proud Boys leader Nick Ochs, who was arrested and charged with participating in the Capitol raid, reportedly raised $300 on GiveSendGo for travel funds to get to D.C. on Jan. 6. After Ochs was arrested, another fundraiser was launched to raise money for his legal funds and has collected almost $20,000. The fundraiser organizer noted that the money raised helped Ochs get released on a $5,000 bond.

Other fundraisers on the website include one for Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who has gathered more than $113,000 for legal funding, after he was arrested days before the riots in D.C. Tarrio was charged with possession of high-capacity firearm magazines and destruction of property for burning a Black Lives Matter flag during a December protest.

Ali Alexander, a "Stop the Steal" organizer, has collected $30,000 for a “security and administrative team,” and Jim Hoft, the founder of Gateway Pundit, has gathered more than $135,000 to investigate alleged voter fraud in Michigan and to "take on the tech giant censorship of conservative voices." Ochs, Alexander, Tarrio and Hoft did not return CNN’s requests for comment.
