CLICK BELOW FOR STORY OF FREDERICTON GESTAPO POLICE FORCE RAIDING MY PLACE - Native might have saved Blogger life when Fredericton Gestapo Police Force raided Blogger's Home!!! I haven't been the same since...:( Every instance, I hear noise outside and the door bell rings? I quickly put up my guard. It's been nice to hear the public support but I don't understand why the Gestapo is keeping my computer? They took 2 of my external hard drive which has close to 200,000 pictures inside. Are they going through every picture looking for pics like Child porn and any naked photos? I got news for these Gestapo Officers? There's nothing in there!!! I was planning to give my hard drives to the Provincial Archives so in 100 years from now? Those videos and pictures are going to be priceless!!! I do have one question? Who's paying for these cops to go through my computer? The citizens property tax could go up next year because of this? I believe it's time that we bring the R.C.M.P. to run our Police Force. Barry MacKnight made himself very clear that there's a double standard in this City and the less fortunate will be jailed and escorted to the Saint John Jail. One inmate died a few days ago but nothing in the media. Inmates are dying but the Provincial Government don't care. Something is wrong here!!! Here's a view - Charles, All this cr@p started with Dan Bussiere and his vendetta against Charles. Since he banned Charles from the leg. Charles has made him look like a fool time and time again. He is now using some FPD officers to do his dirty work. He gives them overtime work and they do his dirty work. Now this time the 3 stooges Dan Bussiere, officer Loiseau and officer Boobie are made to look like fools and are making the whole police force and Fredericton look bad. I bet they now regret messing with Charles now. I wonder how much this whole mess will end up costing the city once its all done? Not just money but it has made Fredericton look real bad in the media. If it wasn't for the Sgt at arms Dan Bussieres and his anger management problem then nothing like this would have happened.

In this case a man was publicly saying a public official raped and impregnated his sister in 1960, when his sister claims that she never met the official.

If THAT is protected, then certainly Charles case is. However-Charles isn't just calling police corrupt or nazi's, he's calling specific individual's nazi's and gestapo. As usual I can see the validity on BOTH sides, although the fact is that in our society, there is a reason there is a charter-because Charles may have supporters, he doesn't have the power the crown does.

In this case the police just don't know how to deal with Charles, and its telling that its always AFTER an arrest that Charles says he is willing to sit down and work things out.

And from THAT point of view I'm almost glad the police are charging Charles, because I really dread to see a world where every person with a popular blog goes around vilifying anybody else for any reason.

Again, Charles beef is with those who MAKE UP laws, not with those that enforce them. Dan Brussieres cannot FORCE legislators to ban an individual, he works for them, not vice versa.

As for the police, I agree the cop was being a prick, but everybody is a prick at some point, Charles is more often than most, and people don't deserve to be denigrated in this way just because they were a jerk. The woman officer, as far as Charles account goes, did nothing apart from act professionally.

Part of the problem is that Charles is simply so 'set in his ways' that police really have no option but to deal with him in this fashion. There is no indication that he was ever going to let up, even after his charges were cleared. I suspect that his recent incivilities made them hopeful that he wasn't the 'working class hero' that he used to be. It's true that he's not, but clearly people are still backing him. That's good to see, but at the same time, I think people do need SOME protections out there from those who are going to call them 'nazis', etc.

As usual Charles, the blog is never boring. I"m certainly not on the side that thinks you are completeyl the 'victim' here. As so often in life, people are victims of their own intransigence. The police really are being heavy handed, but honestly, I don't know what choice you've given them.; 11:11 AM, February 02, 2012
Anonymous said...: Dan Bussieres was staking Charles, Then when he finally photographed or video taped Charles driving his bike on a sidewalk, he stalked charles in his vehicle, then yelled at Charles: See you in court!
Dan then sent officer L'oiseau to give a ticket to Charles.
It would be interesting to see the date and time stamp on the picture Dan took.
Was Dan paid by the Gov for working at the leg when he was stalking Charles.

There is a huge amount of money being spent of our tax money to Harass and jail Charles.
Something needs to be done about this bull shit.

The gov are spending lots of money to pay the salary of that power tripping nut case Bussieres.; 12:06 PM, February 02, 2012
Anonymous said...: This didn't all start with the riding a bicycle on a sidewalk deal.
Dan Bussieres started all this long before that.
Charles had landed a nice job working at the Legislator building for a contractor.
Well that didn't sit too well with Dan Bussiere at all.
Dan basically told the contractor to fire Charles or else.
Then Dan tried to get Charles banned from the Leg. Dan claimed that Charles was a security threat.

Dan started all the trouble with Charles years ago and he is still after Charles.
Is this the type of person that we should have as a the head of security at the leg?
Send him back to Quebec where he belongs!; 12:34 PM, February 02, 2012
mikel said...: I don't have much time for sympathy for people who make over a hundred grand no matter what their problems, but let's be fair. It was eight legislators who banned Charles. NOT Dan Brussiere's.

AFTER that, it became a point for Charles to continuously upbraid Dan Brussiere's in his blog. THAT is the order of events. It was only after months of constant blogging and parodying that Dan Brussiere's escaladed it to making the complaint about Charles. In that he was helped by Charles breaking the law (as stupid as it is).

That he was 'stalking' Charles is absurd, Charles life is normally confined to downtown fredericton, a grid of about four square blocks.

I'm not 'siding' with police, I'm saying they really have few choices in dealing with somebody like Charles. And like the union at the legislature, they have an obligation to their employees. A government employee who feels that their employer is not supporting them can SUE the government for millions.

It's VERY unfortunate. If the police and city were smart they would financially support another person like that lady who ran the purple violet press. IF there were another blog covering news and events in the city the way charles would, then his readership would drop. Instead, they are guaranteeing his website gets even MORE popular. And while there are lots of people who don't like Charles and just think he's nuts, there are also LOTS of people who just plain don't like or trust police.

There is an old saying about the 'horse of pride' which says the most proud people are those who don't have much. And in my experience with scotsmen, they are more intractible than most. If the police were smart, they would have a press conference and drop charges against Charles and apologize.

Unfortunately, people drawn to police services are often likewise belligerent. That's why I say at least its good that its being done 'out in the open'. The only good thing about it is that it highlights the police in a way that ALL police should be highlighted and all the time. And on the plus side, this carries jail time, and with the civil liberties union involved that at least means Charles will have some legal representation.

I was really hoping after charles cases were concluded that charles would go back to some issues. One conspiratorial thought jumped in my head-politicians know that the more time Charles spends on his own issues, the less time he spends challenging legislation. So Alward and friends are probably pretty happy he's constantly occupied.; 1:30 PM, February 02, 2012
P.R said...: The bottom line is, ALL Canadians have the right to freedom of expression. I can't believe some of the comments here, ie. "that police really have no option but to deal with him in this fashion".

When people suggest the crown should send fellow citizens to jail because they are considered a "pain in the ass" by anyone else, public official or otherwise, our society is no longer free, but rather a police state.

I have a long list of people who have called me a nasty name online, maybe I should document it all and send it along to the police. I also happen to know quite a few people, that , in my view are a 'pain in the ass'.

Maybe it's a good thing Harper is building more jails. We'll need them if we are going to jail all the people who hurl insults online, message boards, blogs, etc. The cbc comment section is a wonderful place to start, have you read any of those comments lately?

This is about The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and civil liberties.

You have the right to call Charles an asshole if you want, but it works both ways.; 5:45 PM, February 02, 2012
Anonymous said...: So, bussiersres found a drug in the Premier of New Brunswick Luggage? How come now? Everyone knew he was into various deviancies? But in Neveau Brunwick, coverup and payoff was the way things went. Dan got a great job???; 6:03 PM, February 02, 2012
Anonymous said...: "The bottom line is, ALL Canadians have the right to freedom of expression."

Freedom of expression does not protect libel. THAT is the bottom line. Charles broke the law, and is being held to account.; 6:21 PM, February 02, 2012
Anonymous said...: When Dan was a cop he was always whining about one thing or a other. Also he couldn't handle the pressure.
If he would lose his job at the leg he wouldn't go back to being a cop because he couldn't handle it then and he surely wouldn't be able to handle it now.
This was told to me from a cop that has worked with Dan in the past.; 6:24 PM, February 02, 2012
mikel said...: I certainly never said Charles 'should' be sent to prison. That's just crazy. I said I UNDERSTAND why they are doing what they are doing. I've been called all kinds of names online as well, but its a far different issue when your photograph is posted each day with various captions and names being used.

If you read what I wrote, I even said that there ARE other ways of dealing with Charles, but unfortunately because of politics and pride, police only have one option open to them, which is to keep arresting charles on virtually any charge they can think up and hope that he has a nervous breakdown or simply gets tired of doing what he's doing.

Understanding why somebody does something is not the same as condoning it. There's a reason my first comment starting with the NFLD story which pretty much cements Charles position.

But do a thought experiment. We all know the Irving rags are pretty much a blowhorn for the Irving family. They run it pretty much like a blog. What if they started saying things about Charles? What if they started putting his picture on their papers each day with twisted labels. Things that aren't true, but they wouldn't have to be true, because they would be 'implied'. Then Irving would say "oh, we have a charter right to say whatever we want".

The point is that Charles isn't just calling cops assholes. He's calling them nazi's and the KKK. So what's next? Does he see a cop talking to a kid and then start calling all cops paedophiles every day-complete with graphic pictures?
The NFLD case says that its ok to even call somebody a rapist even though its not true, but in that case its a guy that nobody really pays attention to.

Nobody has said Charles should be put in jail, in fact, there is really no reason why he should be charged-and I say that as a person whose emails to charles are now in police hands-and I suspect there is a reason why CBC reports that most people who want to help him want to do so anonymously. However, I UNDERSTAND why they'd feel like they have no other option.

The saddest thing about this is that while Charles thinks he's just a victim, it would be so EASY for him to accomplish much bigger things if, well, if HE weren't such an asshole. And I say that as a friend. The purple violet blog certainly did as good a job at tasking the government as charles did. Just TALKING about these issues daily is enough to bring about change. All the hyperbole and nasty cartoons simply aren't necessary, and in fact you can argue that they are doing a disservice to the issue. While charles continues to stick 'the less fortunate' in there, the reality is that virtually every issue has become about himself. And many people have been turned off the message, so it can be asked whether it is all worth it.

I have no idea of the answer to that. But what I DO know is that when Charles talked about issues and politics and process, 30,000 of the poorest NBers got basic housing rights they never got before. That is a HUGE accomplishment.

Yet since that time I can't think of a single issue that has even made a dent in public policy in NB. And even this case serves only as an example of just how much a person can be vilified online before we find it objectionable as 'free speech'. I'll grant that its pretty easy to lecture other people on what they should do, especially if they aren't involved, but really, people need to grow up. The police are being as petty as Charles is, and we usually expect our government to not operate with the same personality frailties that individuals possess.; 8:09 PM, February 02, 2012
Anonymous said...: Mikel...that's a very peculiar name.
Its a travesty what there doing to Charles!
I'm telling ya its a travesty!!
Cant they see that he is not all there?
They should leave the pore boy alone.
Are they trying to make him leave Fredericton?
They will then be faced with a massive lay off because there wont be anything left for them to do.
Its because of Charles that some of them still have a job.; 11:38 PM, February 02, 2012
P.R said...: mikel, they haven't taken issue with Charles form of policital cartooning, they took issue with ONE line on his blog.

I would guess that they took a long time to arrest him for it, since it would have taken a really long time to find it.

You said "UNDERSTAND why they are doing what they are doing." I don't think you do understand.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association understands. Do some research.; 12:35 AM, February 03, 2012
mikel said...: Can't say I 'understand' most of that comment, but yeah, what I should say is that I can understand one possible reason why they charge charles. Why commentors would think that saying that means endorsing these police actions is beyond me, especially since, as I said, my correspondence to Charles, as innocuous as it is, is in their hands.

As for research, the above poster seems to know something most of us don't. The CCLA said just yesterday that they don't know ANYTHING, so how that means they 'understand' is beyond me.

And I haven't seen ANY comments from the police, the last 'research' I can find says that they haven't even confirmed that Charles was the subject of the arrest. So how the above poster knows that this is all about one line is a bit of a mystery. Although its true, this is about defamation of one officer, not his political cartoons-but a condition of his arrest was that he not show any pictures of the officer, so we know that at least has SOMETHING to do with it.

I doubt police would plant something on his computer, but I suspect they were hoping there may be something criminal on there, anything to detract from Charles 'credibility'.

But again, like the above commentor says, it IS a travesty, but I can certainly see why such a move would be made. The law is there for a reason, even if its seldom used, and the reality is that Charles HAS nothing, so making it a civil case is pointless, expensive, and not politically viable.

I can't see HOW they would possibly think this would win (of course I don't know why they would think their charge in Saint John or that charging him with 'assault' if he stepped on the grounds at the legislature would 'win' in court), so unless we think they are abominably stupid, then we can assume they are hoping for something on the computer and/or building up a long term case.; 8:54 AM, February 03, 2012

That's a pretty pathetic statement, Mikel.; 3:37 PM, February 03, 2012
mikel said...: Why? There are a LOT of people with big problems out there, mostly caused by lack of financial resources. If Dan Brussiere's biggest problem in life is that he is caricatured and vilified on some guy's blog, then he's got it pretty good. He's free to ignore Charles blog, and can enjoy his month's vacation time in the carribean. Sounds pretty sweet to me, I know a lot of people who put up with a lot worse at work, for a lot less money.; 8:13 PM, February 03, 2012
Anonymous said...: Well Charlie my man, your sure havin' one helluva time. No man that has ever lived or set foot on this God-forsaken earth of ours has ever had so much popularity and support as you have been building up over the last couple of weeks or so. And all, of course, my friend, due to the absolutely insane and idiotic antics of our dear and beloved posse. Hell, that ranks right up there with Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane chasin' the hell out of the Duke boys all thru the back roads of Hazzard County. WEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Ole Boss Hogg would be damn proud, wouldn't he??? But at least in Hazzard County, the whole damn sheriff's posse didn't show up on Uncle Jesse's door step billyclubin' there way in thru his front door, helpin' themselves to anything and everything and makin' a complete and utter arse of themselves. Fox TV could come to town and do a long running TV sit-com on this shit with none other than you yourself, ole pal, as the lead actor. They'd have your name in lights all over hell, CHARLES LEBLANC; ESQUIRE, BLOGGER EXTRORDINAIRE, STAR OF THE SHOW!!!!!! And the antics of Sheriff Roscoe certainly didn't have the grimy finger prints of one Daniel Bussieres all over it. I am completely and totally convinced as well ole pal, that if you do happen to end up in the slammer because of this whole damn fiasco that everybody's favorite hero Clint Eastwood would be on the first flight here most ready, willing and able to star in a sequel of "Escape From Alcatraz". NOW WOULDN'T THAT BE ONE TO SEE!!!!!!
Stunts and shinigans such as what they had the gall to pull off are absolute and total gobbledegook and should be considered as nothing what-so-ever short of absolute totalitarianism.
Go git 'em ole buddy, you've been thru a helluva lot worse than this before and come away unscathed and a helluva lot better person for it. However it ends up, my good friend, you come away smellin' like a bed of roses. You're still doin' one helluva fine, fine job buddy, keep 'er goin'. WE'RE ALL ROOTIN' FER YA!!!!!!!!; 4:53 PM, February 04, 2012
