Loitering charges dropped- resume on Monday

-

Good day and love to you all.

After a month and a half of waiting and respecting the condition to not go to the library the 'crown' dropped the charges. Sarah and I intend to resume the occupation of the library courtyard on Monday (June 11th), again until the no loitering signs are removed. If it means a judge confirming the truth, that 'no loitering' signs are not only absurd but criminal as well, so be it. As in previous courtly encounters I will get justice or I will make them kill me. Supporting this action is good and easy- just show up. I imagine we will be here for when the library opens Monday morning.

The power of patience be with us all ('cause we're going to need it to maintain our sanities in a world that has over-populated itself a hundred fold while relying on corruption).

in peace and freedom,

"...'cause we're going to need it to maintain our sanities in a world that has over-populated itself a hundred fold while relying on corruption)..."

dude go fuck yourself. How can you say that we live in an overpopulated world when canada itself has a square mile for everyone that lives here? There are dense city cores around the world that have been around much longer than the history of canada and that can attribute to the overpopulation of that REGION. Im sure some people will still fire back at me telling me to look at the whole picture rather than our little island bubble we live in. Well that same principal applies to you david, stop this fucking diatribe on this messageboard cuz you really have no support here. Look for a bigger better more accepting place than here and maybe someone might find your rantings of use; but for now, your just plain ol' nutz.

They wouldn't be pissed at your ilk hanging around there if everyone showed respect by cleaning up after themselves and not begging people for nickels and cigarette butts.
And how do you think the library came to be, offering you endess books to read free of charge? TAXES.
Did you or your loiter-buddies pay into that? If not, then maybe you don't have any right to be there. - Thu, 7 Jun 2007 4:18pm Edited: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 5:50pm

As for DAJ and his library occupation, if I see you come within 20 feet of my kid while I'm trying to take him to get some books, I'll kick you loitering ass all the way over to the mainland so they can deal with your crap! Grow up! If you want to live in this world, try contributing something useful to it. Fuckin' wanker.

I personally have no feelings of threat from DaJ as i've said if i see his shit lying about; i'll toss it, just like i'll toss him if he even so much as speaks to me. Why? because the last thing victoria needs, as with the rest of the world, is a bunch of anarchist hippie's thinking the world should be free just because they aren't capable of leading a normal life(to what we, the rest of society think is normal). I cant stand the amount of protest(not the reasons, but the people that are specifically "PROTESTERS"). What really grinds my gears is that I give up my money for taxes without problems and hey we get a return the next year, and this guy comes along and tries to tout his non-tax paying ways and sleeping on ground which is not his, and simply making our city look worse. Im sorry if you dont have as much pride in your city as I do, but personally if it were allowed I'd ship'm all to san pat in italy; then its their problem lol(thankfully the world doesn't revolve around my thinkings) - Fri, 8 Jun 2007 1:11pm

dear J,

the world has made you retarded- thinking there is justification to hate; thinking that evil is real. You are not alone... a lot of people and families have been buying into the system for a long time, so much work involved in trying to make their ways, so much that we could not consider that we have been foolish from the get go. When the 'big one' comes it will be good in many ways- those who have been paying so long for a plot of land that demands taxes be paid every year will no longer have to concern themselves with the crown taking it away at a whim.

it is really easy, though at this point your addiction to fighting and subtle spite will be wanting to exorcise itself- a true want of truth will consider fate and with that the knowledge of how all things move- that's when the job of being a grownup human begins- securing freedom for our children, not condemning them to a world where only the compliant and retarded can succeed.

have no doubt that pride is the root of all goofdom- that everyone exclaiming pride as a virtue has been under a massive delusion that is the root of all the suffering in the world. You are not the originator of the thoughts you are having right now. You are God and the only thing that exists... and you still have never made a choice and never will.

We'll see where your inspiration will lead now. Want to do something about it, punk... do ya?

KnifeGhost I'm not threatened by DAJ, nor am I threatened by you, I just take offence to DAJ's whole stand. Just because he doesn't want to contribute to society is not a reason for him to try and bring it down. He can go and live with the other jobless lay-abouts under the Johnson Street Bridge.
As for you DAJ, fuck you and fuck your plagerized ideals. For those who don't know, this whole I am god - you are god - all lovey dovey bullshit was a thematic tool in Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" back in the sixties.
If DAJ and his hippie band want to live for free without our society, I say go off into the forest and start a fucking commune so we don't have to deal with their crap polluting our city streets. You must realize DAJ that before you can save someone, they have to want to be saved. Why don't you remove yourself from society for a few years and then come back and tell me how wonderful it is. I for one don't think you'd last 6 months.

I can't believe that DAJ is fortunate enough to live and loiter in this beautiful city with its climate, and still complains. Try loitering in Edmonton or Winnipeg in the winter, or during any other season, and you'll realize that you have NOTHING to complain about.

But what if the city builds -from our taxes- a special loitering zone? 4 walls, a roof, 2 bathrooms and a couple of doors, no non-loiterers allowed. Now and then a hatch in the roof will open and a city worker will pour a bucket of pennies in.

We'll get the library to donate writeoff books to the loitering zone, that should take care of the need to loiter in the courtyard there.

This facility will be outside the direct downtown area so that you loiterers won't be disturbed by us taxpayers. There can be no more complaints after that. - Sat, 9 Jun 2007 2:53pm

false arrest last night for the loitering thing

-

Hey all. Sarah and I and Andrew Ainsley were arrested last night (Monday the 11th of June, 2007). Sarah and I were arrested for breaching the conditions of the last arrest, even though the last arrest was dropped (apparently, someone 'forgot' to enter that fact into the police's computer). They figured it out by this morning and released us. Andrew was arrested for a charge that never existed and he was released when we got to the police station last night. The cop that arrested Andrew was very aggressive and violent, practicing his intimidation techniques- it seems Andrew might not just complain but actually sue the delusional butthead.

This was all a big pile of crap. A tactic of intimidation and nothing more. (If you support the crown, stop right now because you will be forced to hate me for pointing out your complete world/life destroying retardation). You do not have the right to not join the revolution.

I will return to occupying the courtyard before this day is over (i'm going to retrieve my stuff from the police station first). If you have any comprehension of freedom you will join us.

I love you all... even the ones that only occasionally see my hippy side.

peace,

hehe, i wouldn't necessarily say I give him 'power' so much as I dont take such things lightly. I know as an extreme example, people who've acted/believed in some of the same principals or who've been considered radicals to our society can change or could possibly alter the way we live. Take a look at the jewish community; if hitler didn't mark "them" as being "im-pure" do you think the way of life for the jewish peoples would be the same? Or how about people of afro-american decent, if there wasn't slavery/extreme prejudice; do you think that 'black-history' would run so deep with so much anomosity towards "white people"?
What Im trying to say is that while you might consider Daj to be some trifling idiot on a msg board, it isn't completely out of his grasp to try something that hits home alot more than postings on a msg board. Now dont go thinking im calling Daj a terrorist, cuz im not. Im simply saying that while people laughed at hitler when he was young; shit changed and when he came into power.... SHIT REALLY CHANGED. To futher that; in my defense, I would lay my life on the line to protect the way we live. And that would be living in an open and free society without worrying about the person next to you; or next to them. Sorry if i come off sounding like an extremist american, but at the end of the day we all should have that willingness to protect that of which we live and love.

with all that being said, I dont myself think that Daj would be capable of causing the next world war; but it cetainly isn't out of his grasp to get attention by any means necissary(and you know what im talkin' about). - Wed, 13 Jun 2007 2:31pm

Well this guy and his crew of fellow lumakicks and adoring hippy chicks sure make it a less pleasant experience to visit the library downtown. These guys park their bikes plus trailers plus panniers plus bulging garbage bags in space that would accomodate 3 or 4 regular bikes. I come there to actually use the library and I have frequently have to look all over for a safe place to lock up my bike because the library racks are monopolized by these homeless cats' RV-style bicycles. The library square becomes a lot less appealing to spend time in when there is a gang of people playing music, smoking and hanging up art and signs written on the backs of old cardboards.
DAJ and posse aren't selflessly claiming space for public use, they are selfishly taking away space from the public for their own use. - Wed, 13 Jun 2007 9:19pm

"And that would be living in an open and free society without worrying about the person next to you; or next to them. "

The funny thing is that that's what DAJ wants, too. He does what he does because he doesn't think this is an open and free society. Now, your idea of an open and free society and his may be very different, but you both have the same motivation. It's bizarre how strongly people who want the same things can disagree.

I've never heard DAJ say anything threatening to anybody. In fact, he's usually the least belligerent person posting on any of his threads. If he was shaping up to be another Hitler, I think we'd be able to see it. - Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:03pm

loitering update- June 13th, 2007

-

hey... alrighty, the scoop the news... k whatever-

Sarah and I had a delightful time with a new sign. The sign was finished at about 3 (a beautiful thing, best sign yet- it said in large letters-
'Loitering' implies purposelessness
the signs are insane
enforcing them is criminal
not leaving 'til they come down

bordering the top it said- pride is sin because fate is real
bordering the bottom it said- the power of patience is with you)

anyhoo- cops came at about 5. Arrested us for Assault by Trespass. Got to the station- they tried to get us to sign a Promise to Appear for August 8th, we refused and came to court in the morning. They did not take our picture or prints. We talked to duty council and he said that there was no such thing as Assault by Trespass and he would see what he could do. Sarah and I waited all day in cells to eventually sign an undertaking to return tomorrow (Thursday the 14th) at 9:00 AM to make our plea (not-guilty) and then set a date for trial. Apparently 3 of the top crown people confered all morning to figure out what to do with us. We are being charged with 'fail to leave/stop activity on or in premises, contrary to section 4(3) Trespass Act' for June 12th AND for the first time we protested on April 12th (I guess that may be their 'out' for not taking our picture and prints this time).

I guess I'll write another update tomorrow to say the trial date.

love you all

in the inevitable abolishment of the crown and the enforced entering of the times of trust and ingenuity,

i hear what your sayin knife; and i know i shouldn't be taking this so seriously, but it just gets my panties in a knot when I hear people who, to me, make no effort in life and then claim that society rejects them and that all land is everyones etc... All I've heard from Daj is how bad our lives are, and how naive we all are for believing in our ways; and also that we dont really own/earn anything in our lives. I dont disagree that taxes are for chumps; but when it comes down to it, you do anything you can to get by; and if that means paying a little out to the country, then so be it.
Also, I've found that while Daj may have reason to think the way he does; it doesn't mean he can come out and call us out and say we're all idiots for living the way we do.
So in the end, I work my ass off for what? so Daj can say im an idiot and that I earn money that goes straight back to 'the man'? fuck no. I work my ass off to enjoy the fruits of my labour.
If i were to assume a new handle here and post "your all fools for paying into the government and living in a corrupt world without choice or freedom", i can garentee someone else would then take my place and fight right against that ideal/belief. Not because they're trolling or trying to cause shit, its because people do actually work and enjoy what they work for and save for, whether you believe it or not; that's up to you. - Thu, 14 Jun 2007 5:20pm

J, again I get what your saying. What I think DAJ is right about is that all that we earn and work for isn't really entirely ours. It can be taken away from us, rightly or wrongly, we can lose it, whatever. The only thing that's really truly ours is what happens in our heads, and (DAJ may disagree) the choices we make. I mostly agree with DAJ, if that's what he means.

But that doesn't stop me from working, and it doesn't stop me from accumulating. There are things I can do if I make lots of money that I can't do if I don't. Some of them are just things I want, most of them are things I'll do because I think it makes the world a better place. But I know I can't take it with me after I die, and I might lose it all before then. I know what's me and what's stuff, and I'm ok with that. What DAJ is squaking about is that too many people can't tell the difference between themselves and their work or their possessions or their house or whatever. What DAJ doesn't get is that people can know who they are and have possessions.

Remember, it doesn't matter a damn what DAJ thinks of you. What do you think of you? If you get a good answer, what do you care? If you don't like the answer, you can change. But to suit yourself, not anyone else.

And I know where you're coming from when you say DAJ makes no effort in life, but I think in some ways a lot of people could learn from him. I think that's why I defend him as much as I do. Not because I agree with him, but because I think we can learn from him. He lives 100% of every day being who he is 100%. He doesn't turn it off at 5 and go home for dinner. He doesn't apologize for it, and he doesn't ask permission. No matter what DAJ may say or do that I don't agree with, and often think is fully crazy, I know he's giving me the real shit. He's not bullshitting me, and I appreciate that.

Anyways. That's how I see it. - Fri, 15 Jun 2007 12:47am

Good day JI, I realize my shit can be a bit much sometimes for some people. I do know how it sounds, I grew up thinking choice was a real thing, as well. Most everyone has, not all though. It wasn't until a couple hundred years ago that 'choice' started infusing itself in people's minds enmass. Fate, for most of history, has been generally accepted. The idea of 'it is written' was once normal (not that long before electronic communication).

not arguing. saying the truth, then whoever will be however inspired they will be

Anti-'No Loitering' Sign Campaign Update (Victoria, BC, Canada)- Wed. June 20, 2007

-

Oh my. Good day all.

Just got the particulars from the 'crown' about how they want to proceed with the charges against me and Sarah for occupying the courtyard out front of the Greater Victoria Public Library.

It makes me pause often, finding the words to describe this absurdity they have presented. Apparently, me and my cronies and followers have been a plague in the library courtyard scaring the female employees with video cameras, shitting in the elevator and leaving needles everywhere. We've been peeing all over the library courtyard and the Facility Manager of the Waddington Complex at 940 Blanshard Street wants us permanently banned and the 'crown' wants me under conditions that would make it illegal to have any sign on me or to post any sign. They occasionally mention that we were there in the capacity of protesters, protesting the existence of the 'no loitering' signs. They even have seven pictures of the sign which says 'not leaving until no loitering signs are removed', just in case some vital evidence may appear at a different angle, I guess.

I've one transgression, that I can see- in one of the first emails I sent out about this I suggested, adamantly, that I would not sign anything... I did sign a thing and I hope I measure my bravado more carefully in the future. This is going to trial. Tomorrow, Thursday the 21st of June, at 10:00 Am in courtroom #103. Sarah and I will be pleaing and setting a date for the trial... talking about bravado... I want the 'crown's surrender. If I get convicted because of these obvious lies the revolution will be catalized, as the courts just condemned an obviously innocent man and protected those involved in a naive, delusional and destructive crime- the unwillingness to admit a mistake and the justifying of corruption. The 'crown' thinks that malevolent behaviour is justifiable in the name of the 'common good'. It is not. The 'no loitering' signs are coming down, we'll see how.

I give odds to this being dropped after they attempt to steal as much of our energy as possible... a simple man's patience will continue to be stronger than all the spin-doctoring in the world.

Peace all. Wally... do you really want to do this thing? No mind. It will be an adventure with whatever happens. Peace to you.

that's just a shame someone is giving you guys a bad name; now you wonder why we(tax paying citizens) fucking hate people trashing OUR public spaces. Doesn't feel so good now does it? This is why we have RULES for places as such, so we dont have to walk through your shit, piss, and other such negatives. Without those 'rules'; we'd have people liek the a-formentioned pissing and shitting everywhere because they can. Is that what your ideal society is to give to you? - Wed, 20 Jun 2007 2:37pm

That's why I don't understand why this dumbass is even still here. His posting habit is extremely similar to LP's. He posts, people slag, he at least responds but with psychotic babble that makes 0 sense unless you're an EMP patient. We've all made it clear we don't give a rats ass about what he thinks his rights are.

So, Dave.
Are you trying to say that it isn't your cronies and followers that are toxifying the publiic spaces? Or are you admitting to it?
If it isn't your buddies doing that shit (pun intended), then who is it?
Irresponsible behavior deserves repercussions.
I hope they solve this problem once and for all. - Wed, 20 Jun 2007 4:20pm

loitering update- June 21st, 2007

-

The trial is set for JANUARY 2ND, 2008 at 9:30 AM in Courtroom #203. There is a trial confirmation a month before on December 4th, 2007 at 9:00 AM in courtroom #103.

We are seeing what we can do about shaving off a couple (or 6) months. Apparently the 'crown' has seven witnesses they want to call and therefore the trial will take a day- meaning a long wait to find a full day slot. We will concede that we exist and were there, so maybe they can scratch a witness or two. I hope that we do not even get to focusing on their lies and just stay on the matter on hand- only a criminal would put up a 'no loitering' sign (may their criminalness be naive and not a contrived practice of malevolence... either way, there is no escaping karma).

There were photos taken of the false arrest that happened on June 11th. Here is a link to them- http://www.angelfire.com/apes/hatrackman/false_arrest

have good days... peace and inspiration to us all in this time of deadened and distracted minds.

in freedom,

"...- only a criminal would put up a 'no loitering' sign (may their criminalness be naive and not a contrived practice of malevolence... either way, there is no escaping karma)...."

theres one on my front door. Does this instantly make me a criminal? or am I justified in keeping what I've earned in OUR society mine and souly mine to use? Or because of your rhetoric all i own is yours too so therefore my land is yours?
Now, I think that the latter is a complete and fucking useless endevour for someone to believe that what they're fighting for is REAL; rather than have to work for your living. Daj, why not move somewhere where your logic is accepted rather than try and change the people around you when they simply DO NOT LIKE YOUR OR YOUR BELIEF? Everytime you post here, while it does create controversy, its more of a joke because all I see is someone lacking attention who's been living on the street because "society" doesn't accept them anymore and this certain someone has taken it upon themselves to create an illusion around them so they can hide in a little bubble and point fingers at everyone else. Grow up David(im sure thats not the first time you've heard that) and realize not everyone is like you or wants to be like you. Leave it at that, and maybe some day down the road you'll find people that will actually accept your way of thinking; but the way you point your fingers and live in your little bubble, just makes you look foolish.
just remember, just because its "crown land" doesn't make it yours... since you aren't part of our society. Choosen or not.
and you actually are right with one point... there's no escaping karma; it works both ways bud. - Thu, 21 Jun 2007 6:05pm

loitering update- June 27th, 2007

-

k- a quick one

Sarah and I went in front of a judge yesterday to get our conditions changed (from a 'no go' to the entire block that the library is located to being able to use the library without stopping in the courtyard. We also changed the reporting in time from once a week to once a month). The 'crown' was mean and stupid and no one batted an eye when I suggested that the 'crown' was prejudiced in this case. We were successful after a few bouts of waiting and changing courtrooms 3 times.

So, the trial is still JANUARY 2ND, 2008... we still hope to shave off some of the time and have it earlier... we'll see.

alright- good days

'There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys. Like if you give them money they're just going to waste it.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He's homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looks right at the homeless guy and says why don't you go get a job you bum.
People always say that to homeless guys like it is so easy.
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.
Outside his pants. I'm guessing his resume isn't all up to date.
I'm predicting some problems during the interview process.
I'm pretty sure even McDonalds has a "underwear goes inside the pants" policy.
Not that they enforce it really strictly, but technically I'm sure it is on the books.'

There are refundable cans and bottles everywhere downtown and you don't need your underwear inside your pants to retrieve the money for those. - Tue, 17 Jul 2007 5:00pm
