Since there are thousands of Iranians as we speak are in Jail or executed. I'm going to take the time to write a long winded Blog on this very emotional issue. I'm going to post every video and pictures on this one. I'll even link it as a reminder of the hardship the people in Iran as going through.
Yesterday while covering the Cultural Expressions Festival, I was approached by someone asking me - Charles? What are you doing here? How come you're not covering the Protest in front of the New Brunswick Legislature.
I said- Yeah right!!! A protest in front of the Legislature on a Friday night?????
The guy reminded me it was a protest denouncing the Government of Iran!!!
Well? He grabbed my attention and away I went!!!!
The guy went on to remind me that I was banned from the ground of the Legislature.
I replied - HA!!! Let them arrest me again!! Being arrested for covering an emotional protest like this one?? Let them do it!!!
Once in the area, it was true!!! Around 100 Iranians were gathered near the New Brunswick Legislature.
Since New Brunswick is in a News Blackout during the weekend, there were no media present.
I quickly ran in front and began taking pictures and videos.
I was surprise with the amount of people wearing masks???? But after thinking about it? They got no choice because the Government of Iran could see the pictures in this Blog and arrest and execute all their relatives in Iran!!!
Here's a couple of youtubes!!!
Was the tyrant Sergeant-at-Arms Dan Bussieres of the New Brunswick Legislature storm out with his Quebec Security Staff from the People's House and attack the Protesters like in Iran???
I didn't care of the Fredericton Police Force would once again arrest this Blogger. I was the only Journalist in the area. So as the good journalist that I am? I began to do what I do best!!! TAKE PICTURES!!!
I just notice in this picture. Take a look who's walking toward the Protesters? Fredericton Mayor Brad Woodside.
I was surprise to see the guy at the Protest so I quickly turn my camera to video.
Here's the youtube -
Brad made a good speech supporting the Protesters and met with a few before leaving the area.
The Mayor left the protesters and I continued to do what I do best!!! TAKES PICTURES!!!!
I noticed the Protesters weren't too sure if they were allowed to protest in front of the Legislature without a permit.
A few were chatting with Mike.
I have known Mike since 2003. He's a black guy from this area. Very nice guy!!!
Mike always fought the issue of racism since being born. I would love to see the day that Dan Bussieres fires the guy. From a Fascist to a Racist? I would be all over with this one!!!
Ok..never mind that .....
I continued to take pictures.
Then they began walking in the Downtown area. I didn't know where they were going.
The Cultural Festival was going on at the same time so maybe they will protest in that area?
One Iranian woman quickly ran to all the protesters and yell in Iranian to remain quiet in respect of the people who were preforming at Officer's Square.
I decided to do an interview with one of the Protesters.
Click below -
I wasn't sure what was going to happen to the protesters because in 2006, the Fredericton Police Force arrested a few immigrants.
They all gathered at City Hall!!!!
I told everyone to gather on the front steps of City Hall!!!
They said- Are we allowed?
I reminded the Protesters they had the support of the Mayor.
One security quickly called his Boss telling him City Hall was being invaded by Iranians!!!...LOL
His Boss told him it was ok!!!
I was very surprise that there wasn't one single Cop in the area.
I met a few new people and it was an interesting experience. I was told there were over 1,000 Iranians living in New Brunswick.
I was surprised that Tyrant Dan Bussieres didn't order the shootings of the protesters like in Iran??
Now? Being Charles the agitator? I just had to have some fun.
Once back at the Cultural Festival. I noticed Tim < Cop >
Who is he? He's one of the Police officers station at the New Brunswick Legislature.
I told the guy that I have been calling you guys Fascists ever since my arrest at the Legislature.
How come you and Sgt Andrew < Sandy > MacDonald didn't charge the Protesters at the Legislature and arrest those Protesters like in 2006 in front of City Hall!!!
Come on!!!! I was there and it would have been some good shots!!!!!
lol
The Iranians did a good job!!!!
P.S. Not one single Cop in sight. That's a good thing!!!!
