Why did this take so long?

Hopefully whatever they’ve arrested her for is ironclad and she’s gone for good.

    They actually did seize several replica firearms... the warrant was accurate as far as I can tell. The cult leader has a whole Wikipedia article talking about their history with the police. They tried to pull off a citizens arrest on police officers over "COVID crimes". That's insane behavior.

    Replicas aren't toys. They are often a barrel or tigger group assembly away from being a proper firearm.

    That all you have? Seriously...

    Edit: Replicas aren't toys and assertions otherwise is disinformation

    And yet they are not a firearm

    I've seen people using fireworks as firearms on the streets, there's no sense in measuring distance from being a proper firearm, imo

    Okay, so I was wrong

    Edit: it doesn't even state that it should be close to usable, just that it resembles closely enough. So I admit to being wrong but now I don't understand your point of it being almost a firearm

    One of the largest markets for replicas is the entertainment industry. Which uses squibs, blanks or other methods to make it look like they were fired. Which without modification can cause serious injury or death.

    Having a pistol that can fire a low charge blank doesn’t need a fully hardened barrel, which on some is easily replaced. As an example.

    There is also the ability to make someone think you are holding a firearm that could cause them harm (easy if the person isn't infantry qualified), especially during a robbery.

    These people didn't have them to put them in a shadow box, they had them to appear more dangerous, which can push them into the terrorist designation.

    If it looks like a real gun, it's pretty much exactly as effective for commiting crimes as a real unloaded gun. There's very few legitimate reasons to have a replica firearm and they are highly regulated. Anyone with a criminal record would not be able to get a license for prohibited firearms.

    Hey look who is intentionally misrepresenting this to spin a narrative.

    Edit: From the RCMP THEMSELVES: Replica firearms are prohibited devices in Canada.

    You are deliberately choosing a calculated, malicious interpretation of a single wors in my off-the-cuff comment.

    Jail in Canada exists (legally) for rehab. I have no faith whatsoever that Didulo can be rehabilitated, but as long as she is allowed access to the public, she will be a danger to them and to Canada.

    So she has to be locked up, and we need to make a good-faith attempt to help her rehab.

    But personally, I just want her stopped and kept away from people, because she's a danger.

    She has proven she cannot behave in a way that doesn't defraud, hurt, divide, extort, isolate and otherwise act in way that are contrary to what civil society can tolerate.

    Everyone should be given a chance at rehabilitation.

    She needs to be isolated from the population until she has proven she will not seek to harm people.

    If she refuses to seek rehabilitation while incarcerated that's on her, and the consequences are to be incarcerated until she proves she's rehabilitated. IF she is found incompetent she needs round the clock treatment away from other impressionable patients.

    This Woman has caused emense harm and kid gloves are a half measure and will only embolden other con artists to do the same.

    Did you even read the article? 'Cause if you didn't, you should.

    Or maybe you're a full-on supporter of hers, which would explain a lot.

    *In July, the village office closed its doors to the public outside pre-arranged appointments, citing harassment and intimidation toward staff.

    The owner of the property and one of Didulo's followers Rick Manz was charged with assault, resisting arrest and uttering threats.>*

    I bet the residents of the village are relieved to see the last of her. Hopefully her cult members will start to disperse soon.

    Nope, she can't.

    She's a Canadian citizen, and the only way citizenship can be revoked is if was obtained fraudulently.

    She's a dangerous, deranged, evil loonatic, but she's ours to deal with.

    Or a mental health facility. She has some pretty serious delusions going on in her head.

    I don't believe she has any mental health issues. She tried and failed multiple business and finally realized there was gold in them thar Facebook groups and it's been a grift ever since. She wasn't stupid enough to try and seize police in Peterborough, but her fuckwads were. It's just criminal fraud. I think she would have made a great Realtor on Duty.

    She printed out fake money. She fraudulently raised money. She has threatened local officals. She told followers to "shoot to kill" people giving COVID vaccines. She led an attempt by fuckwads to seize police officers at a Peterborough station.

    Jail her or get her out, and round up all her followers for mental health treatment, as they believed in invisible UFOs protecting her.

    None of that sounds like a reason to strip someone of citizenship and make them some other country's problem. Jail yes, deportation of a citizen no. You should not be trying to emulate the barbaric practices going on in the states.

    My buddies father in law was the mayor of that town when this shit all started. I wonder if he still is.

    He told me they got family members of his wife to turn against them in town meetings, like HARD, like never talk to your brothers again bad.

    They're fruits, but I'm betting "replica firearms" means "black powder". Yes, they can certainly be deadly, but my god, if you're never used black power, it's a monster pain in the ass. I can get a total of 3 or 4 shots off, reloading each time of course, and the barrel is too filthy to shove the next ball in.

    BP guns are such a joke, even felonious Americans can own them, and most states allow them to be shipped straight to your porch. I have never heard of a crime being committed with one. LOL, it's like California banning modern .50cal guns. Has anyone in the history of ever used a .50BMG to crime?! OK, except Israel.
