Yesterday, I noticed Asaf sitting down in front of a coffee Shop.

I never said a word about the arrest in Halifax until I began the interview.

One interesting point is that he’s not allowed to participate in any protests across Canada until he appears in court in September.

Can the courts get away with that order?

Can Asaf go for the whole summer months without protesting???

That's been going on all across canada for quite some time now. It blatantly breaks our basic charter rights of associations, but most of the people with those bail conditions are poor and can't afford to challenge it. Essentially what the law in Canada says now is that the right to protest belongs only to those who don't protest. Asaf didn't throw any rocks or paint balls, so hopefully his dad will stand by him and help him challenge it in the courts. Too many rights are being taken away from people.

Theres some great bodies on some of those ladies, if I'd known protestors were so hot I'd have done some of it myself when I was younger.

Rashid is just a troublemaker

Why don't you take a little bit of personal responsibility Asaf, instead of distancing yourself from the violent instingation that happened in Halifax. F**kin' chickensh*t! I had interest in the motivation against Atlantica, but what happened there, the half assed anarchism (middle class temper tantrum?) really casts a lot of doubt on the whole purpose of the protest.

I disagree with asaf on many many things, but not about this. I respect what he did and how he did it.

How degrading to have his father speak on television -- as if to say "he's just a dumb kid".

For the next little while you might feel alone asaf, but there are more people than you know standing in solidarity.

Must be good to know that there are so many people he doesn't know standing in solidarity with him. Oh, but he actually doesn't know...Or...now that dr has spilled the beans maybe he does?
Its all just so confusing! But wait, just why were these many people not standing with him when he was arrested? Maybe they couldn't find a mask that didn't chafe, you can get quite a nasty rash if your not careful you know. I wonder if they all send him letters of condolence? I nice card sometimes makes you feel better after all.
Maybe all he needs is some nice exceedingly wordy fellow protestor to write him a nice rant of the social and philosophical relevance of helping the poor with paint balls. Or perhaps a few tips on proper protestor etiquette, you know, Eye holes to the front...that sort of thing. Just to show your solidarity don't you know.
