No Justice, No Nothing……
Why have the Metro Toronto police given a free
pass to the Black Bloc to commit crime in Toronto?
It
has been well over a month since members of the covert crime gang known as the
BLACK BLOC committed a serious assault on Toronto blogger Greg Renouf and it
seems the Toronto police Dept. refuse to make an arrest even though the victim
of this vicious assault has identified two of his attackers!
Greg
Renouf is a local writer who has written extensively on the Occupy movement and
their relationship with the socialist/anarchist wing of the Black Bloc.
Many of you will remember this same
group of criminals from the G-20 protests of 2010 in Toronto. Word on the
street at the time was that some of the Black Bloc may have been police
officers just like the agent provocateurs at the SPP in Montebello Quebec in 2007. There is no question that this same gang of
“anarcho-primitivists” as Renouf had referred to them has been infiltrated by
police in the past and most likely still
are.
For months Renouf has been writing
articles critical of both the Black Bloc and the controlled Occupy movement
that has embraced them. Renouf has shown great courage and restraint in
uncovering the secret communist/Marxist control behind the Occupy movement and
the various infiltrations of other activist causes like the casserole and
student movements of late. Although Renouf usually makes sure he is armed with
his Camera and the crowd at protests he did not expect to be jumped at night in
a small park at Bellevue Square beside Toronto’s Kensington Market. Around 11:30pm
on June 23rd four of these cowards beat Renouf with a wooden flag pole and kicked him when he fell
to the ground. These men were not wearing masks and Renouf could clearly
identify two of his attackers. There were also a number of shocked witnesses.
Although Renouf sustained serious injuries that required a trip to hospital by
ambulance to close the large wounds to his head, he was still able to meet with
police the next day and provided names and pictures of two of his four
attackers.
The case was turned over to Detective
Williams of 14 div. who seems to be in no hurry to investigate or make an
arrest. In fact in the month since the attack the victim has been told that Detective
Williams has been on vacation, days off and has yet to return any of the
victim’s phone calls personally. Is he waiting for this man to be killed by
these thugs or is he just hoping it goes away? There is now speculation on the
street that the reason there has been no arrests in this case is because one of
Renouf’ s attackers is himself a Metro Toronto police employee. That is quickly
becoming a lot easier to believe than the excuse that Detective Williams is too
busy to investigate the matter or just too lazy to do his job.
The power of the alternative media to
cover stories that the main stream corporate media refuse to touch is important
to the freedom we still have left to us in this society. When a group of
criminal thugs are permitted by police to beat a writer for the soul reason
that they don’t like what he has to say about them is a travesty not one of us can
afford to overlook.
Whether you sympathize with the protests
or not, whether you agree with what he writes or not, when the voice of the alternative
media is silenced we are all in the jackpot.
If the Toronto police are playing with the
safety and life of Greg Renouf just to save the identity of one of their own,
who may even be complaisant in this crime they had better come clean sooner
rather than later!
