We were 'At Cause' over the Org. again.
Toronto Org Picket #3
Sat. July 12, 1997.
3:30 to 5:30 pm
Special Picket Theme: Free Odhran Fortune!
Prologue:
Subsequent to our last picket ( June 7) I and others, left hints on ARS of impending pickets.
On the date of the first 'ghost picket' Co$ Toronto
loaned their chapel out to a wedding at our usual
picketing time. But we weren't there.
Rev. Buttnor and company did not officiate
at the wedding but did spend considerable
time and resources to photographing passersby and
the idle curious, including Artemis.
The second 'ghost picket' on Free Odhran Fortune day the Co$ sent out their kids in 90 degree heat (27C) to do an 'Anti-drug' display. Artemis took some pictures of this. (Nice kids BTW.) See Artemis's Ghost Picket Report for details and photos.
Artemis enturbulated Al Buttnor one weekday by
taking pictures of the Org. Big Al approached Artemis
and whined, "I consider this harrassment".
The local Constabulary unofficially regards this
kind of complaint as "childishness".
Reliable *sources* have contacted me, independently, to reveal that the local Courts may have refused to consider a legal weasel feeler on a TRO against pickets, as "without merit". This after the TROs given in Eire and the UK against the Fortunes.
July 12th and July 19th were stated by me on ARS as
impossibilities due to lack of Police resources to provide
a cover for the Pickets. This was a false trail, but not totally
untrue.
No police cover was available on July 12th, until after the
Orangeman Parade.
Therefore we filed Notice for a 3 to 6pm slot.
On Sat as I prepared to leave for the pre-Picket rallying
point I discovered that my Van was again adorned with a
R2-45 warning and additionally both of my rear tires were
flat.
Fortunately the tires were not punctured and I was able to re-inflate
them.
NOTE: TO BE FAIR IT IS NOW PROVEN THAT THESE AND PREVIOUS ACTS OF VANDALISM ARE NOT THE RESPONSIBLITY OF THE COS.
