St. Ann's update- Oct. 26th, 2007: Halloween Action Regarding 'Right to Sleep'

-

On OCTOBER 30th and 31st (next Tuesday and Wednesday) the province is attempting to have the entire Charter Challenge dropped. Starting at 9:30 AM on OCTOBER 30th at the Victoria Law Courts lawyers for the province and the corporation of the city of Victoria, and our lawyers, will go in front of a Supreme Court judge to determine if the case is to go ahead (still tentatively scheduled for January 22nd, 2008). It will be open to the public and may very well have a metal detector outside the courtroom door (apparently they do that for Supreme Court stuff sometimes).

That's it for now- Will the province make an ass of itself in its obvious criminality or will the people turn their heads when justice is sacrificed to maintain the status quo of a 'crown' that cannot admit to insanity; the status quo of developers and the tourism industry; the status quo of people who pretend lies and psychotic behaviour can help keep order.

anyhoo... until then. Love you.

Yeah.
The shit, the chattel eyesore and the mounds of garbage left by these tree sleepers are the main reasons why they are getting hassled about sleeping in public. - Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:32am

DAJ regularly left a lot of garbage at St Ann's, deliberately and with malice.
This isn't really about Our Lord and Saviour DAJ making the world a better place for the homeless. Its all about DAJ, and his film-maker buddy (and buddy's "colleagues").
Somewhere in DAJ's journal, it is written that he wants St Ann's signed over to him. - Sun, 28 Oct 2007 1:10am

I remember 10 years ago when me and my friends were teenagers we would go to saint annes and steal hundreds of their light bulbs. After a couple weeks they put up steel gates, all because of us. :D - Sun, 28 Oct 2007 2:36am

"... deliberately and with malice."

grrr. I'm sure anything I add has been said before on here, but I'll say it anyway:

Inexcusable. Seems to me that if they can't respect the land they occupy and the people they share it with, they don't deserve it.

St. Ann's update- Oct. 30th, 2007: pausing to define

-

We didn't even get to the point where the province tried to drop it because the city lawyers 'needed' to ascertain the definition of 'abode' from the city council and they need to wait until the next council meeting to see if abode means cabin or tent... I know. I know.

Trial is still set for January 22nd. We'll find out at the next council meeting (if they can pencil it in) or the one after it (Nov. 15th or something)... then they will either say that people can sleep in the park with the things needed to sleep, probably on a nightly basis- meaning one can provide for their own shelter if they have the capacity to carry their tents when not using them (we'll see what happens when they try to move me along at the proposed time of 7:00 AM)... otherwise, things would just continue with the province trying to discontinue the trial altogether.

I am confident that I, ultimately, cannot be fooled by the city and the province. And regardless of how acceptable the general public feels about the changes that are made, I will still make them kill me if they cannot find within themselves the ability to determine if I can sleep conscientiously on public access property. Lawyering and courts are how we presume innocence of the government and its ways (essentially giving the gov't the chance to do the right thing and avoid a revolution and, subsequently, martial law)- if that fails then we make due without them.

love you all

you dont seem to understand do you? I could really care less if you wanna sleep in OUR parks; just pick up your shit, use a fucking washroom to take your dumps; and if you are an I.V. user CLEAN UP YOUR SHIT. Dont expect people to come to your aid if you dont clean up after yourself... ESPECIALLY if you decide to use CHURCH property. At least do them the decency and aid in the cleaning and re-planting of the grass there... asshole.
"(we'll see what happens when they try to move me along at the proposed time of 7:00 AM"

I quote from youtube.com "DONT TASE ME BRO! OW OW OW!!! DONT TASE ME!!!" - Tue, 30 Oct 2007 5:23pm

Speaking for myself, here's hoping that you make them kill you. Funny how I never seem to see you around outside when the weather is shitty. Maybe that's just my good fortune, or maybe it's your hipocracy. Either way, feel free to leave our fair city because we don't want you here.

your right, in that video, there is no reason for "need". And if you can accept the fact that you cant have something you want; puts you in a situation where you already have everything. Why cant you accpet WE DONT WANT YOU SLEEPING IN OUR PARKS, ie) the majority of the public in a democratic society(as per the charter of rights)? Is it because you cant accpet that what you WANT isn't what we're gunna GIVE you, therefor you cant have, and will make you go insane(not that you already arent)? I dont understand your logic when you clearly are a hypocrite... Start telling people or opening your next video "do as i say; not as i do". That might help people understand you a bit more. - Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:08pm
