~~Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland found King guilty on five counts in November, including mischief and disobeying a court order.~~

Updated ...

‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Pat King was sentenced to three months of house arrest in an Ottawa court this morning.

The sentence includes 100 hours of community service at a food bank or men’s shelter.

It comes on top of nine months he spent in custody both before and during his trial.

King was found guilty on five of nine charges in November, including mischief and disobeying a court order, for his role in the 2022 protest that took over downtown Ottawa for three weeks.

Fucking good. I’ve met Pat King before. He is a dangerous moron who needs to be in prison for the benefit of society at large, no matter what side of the political spectrum you land on. Glen Carrot was also my soccer coach when I was a kid. He was a lot less unhinged growing up.

I get your sentiment, but there's no way this is punishment enough. The man literally publishes racist hate speech on the reg.

I didn’t see the update. This is a slap on the fucking wrists. Man fuck this guy and our shitty system.
