"Fight in Victory Square Is City's Own May Day Uprising." The Province (Vancouver). May 1, 1934. Page 1. --- Victory Square, pleasant acre of flowers and sunshine, was the scene of Vancouver's own little May Day disturbance this morning.

It all started when one of the gentlemen frequenting the square became involved in argument with another, and substantiated his contentions with a hefty swing at his adversary's head.

The latter retaliated and the fight was on. A large crowd of loiterers cheered the gladiators, disappointed, however, by their obvious lack of technique.

Nobody knows how the disagreement started. Red letters painted on the Cenotaph during the night asking "We died for what?" and "Fight war, Fascism," may have been a clue to the secret. Civic employees were busy erasing the lettering when the argument concluded.

"Johnson Boy Gets Freedom," Border Cities Star. May 2, 1933. Page 5. ---- Neck Cricked After Fight In Sandwich Jail ---- CARRYING PISTOL ---- Alex Johnson, Jr., 152 Monmouth road, Walkerville, was allowed free on suspended sentence in East Windsor Police Court today on a charge of carrying a revolver without a permit. He was arrested at the East Windsor welfare office two weeks ago and spent the two weeks at Sandwich Jail.

When he appeared in court this morning his neck appeared a bit twisted. He explained that prisoners at the Sandwich Jail had caused that injury. They had been teasing him at the jail about the so-called "gorilla-man" that haunted the Johnson home in Walkerville prior to young Johnson's arrest. And then the fight started.

Chief Maisonville said in court this morning that he was willing to have young Johnson freed on condition that he stays out of East Windsor. The chief said he had caused considerable trouble during his stay in the city.

Johnson's father promised the court that he would keep the boy at home and hand him over to police if he causes any more trouble.

Lauren Boebert kicked out of Beetlejuice for vaping and singing, says report

Republican lawmaker escorted out after multiple complaints about her behaviour, states incident report

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO-03) was re-elected by the narrowest of margins last year. She apparently is trying to shore up her support among voters who act like jerks at plays, movies, and concerts.

Lauren Boebert was escorted out of a Colorado theatre’s performance of Beetlejuice for allegedly vaping, singing, taking pictures and “causing a disturbance”. The right-wing congresswoman and a companion were asked to leave Denver’s Buell Theatre during the performance of the touring Broadway show on Sunday night, reported The Denver Post. The Republican lawmaker, who was not named in an incident report, was warned about her behaviour during an intermission after three complaints were made, and she was eventually asked to leave altogether.

Knowing the House Freedom Caucus, it's surprising she didn't blame the complaints about her theater misbehavior on Hunter Biden's laptop.

Security footage from the theatre shows Ms Boebert and her companion being escorted from their seats. A separate camera then picks up the pair returning to the lobby. Ms Boebert flings her arm in the air at one point before walking away. The incident report, obtained by The Post, states that after their warning, officials received another complaint around five minutes into the second act.

Here's security cam footage of Boebert and her buddy being booted from Beetlejuice. Sadly, there's no sound.

“ASSAULT BRINGS 15 DAYS IN JAIL,” Montreal Star. August 5, 1930. Page 3. --- Found guilty of assault at his trial in Recorder's Court this morning, George Fortuch was sentenced to 15 days hard labor and placed under a bond of $200 to keep the peace for one year.

Fortuch appeared in court a week ago to plead not guilty to a charge of assaulting the cashier of the Little Martinique Cafe, 17 Craig street east. Neither the complainant nor the accused could speak English, but through Court Interpreter Dobransky, they testified that they had quarreled after Fortuch had finished a meal at the restaurant. It was not clearly established that Fortuch refused to pay for his meal, as was alleged by the complainant, but the Recorder decided that at least the accused had no excuse for his admitted assault upon the complainant.

Besides the prison sentence, Fortuch was ordered to pay $2 damages for breaking window, and for two cups and two plates which he broke over the head of the complainant.

As a wheelchair user, you quickly become aware that every button you press or movement you make emits some sort of noise. Whether you’re tilting your seat or adjusting it to a more comfortable position, the whole room is sure to know about it. You cannot change your position quietly, nor can you…

“Pulled A Gun To Protect Himself,” Cobalt Daily Nugget. July 9, 1910. Page 1. --- Mr. Wm. Janes Tells Magistrate About the Trouble With Drunken Findlanders in South Lorrain ---- Fred Manor, Jack Ranta, Chas. Hill, and Constant Hill, the four Finlanders arrested in South Lorrain by Provincial officers  Mackay and Murray after the disturbance at the Flynn mine, appeared in the Provincial court yesterday and were remanded until this afternoon. It is not thought probable that the witnesses will be here on time and another remand will be made until Monday. August Anala was arrested In court at the request of Mr. Janes, the mine foreman, charged with using threats towards him. He with Charlie Hill were allowed out on their own bail. The other three were sent back to the cells, bail being refused.

Mr. Janes was on hand to lay Information against the men and according to his theory there was a warm time in and about Silver Centre for some hours.

He claims that one of the men came at him with a knife and threatened to kill him unless he cashed a time check presented. Janes pulled a gun to protect himself. Two others brandished knives and a number assembled on the road to the mine and prevented the new cook and teamster from going to the property by a show of firearms. The men appeared to be in a very ugly temper and until their arrest the district was terrorized.

 All the men with the exception of Anala are charged with taking part in an unlawful assault. If the evidence warrants it other charges may be laid.

“Had Bottle of Wine Raised a Row, Man Sentenced to 10 Days,” Barrie Examiner. July 17, 1941. Page 08. --- Wm. Kitmer, a disabled veteran, was gathered in by the Provincial police on July 8 at Giorgianni’s Camp where he had been causing a disturbance, inspired by a bottle of wine.

Before Col. Bick on July 9 he claimed that he was due back at Christie St. hospital, soon, to have the case removed from a broken arm and asked to be let off. His Worship, however, checked up on the hospital notice which Kitmer produced and found that ten days would just fit in with the date if the veteran could not finance a ten dollar fine.
