  • Shawn is a complete dirtbag who is just looking for money!!! Maybe if he gets some he can buy some soap and take a shower!!!

  • Shawn can rot. Funny how none of these videos mention how shawn is a major player in the illegal tobacco industry. Or that he sells drugs. Or that he smuggles weapons.

see all

  • You would be surprised of the open communication and negotiation that takes place between Mr. Brant and Opp leadership. When people dig their heels in and treat things as an us vs. them fight, no benefit will be derived for either side. Aboriginal leaders and Opp realize this. Speculation about the involved persons and circumstances by emotional people are no help.

    As soon as you get off topic and start talking about "smoking pot" you lose all credibility and interest in your cause.

  • I studied criminal and case law in college a few years back. I'm not sure what exactly went down that day, but even if he did attack that man it seems justified in the defense of the women he was violently threatening with his bat and truck..... I guess it was said best and most accurate that they were just looking for something, anything, to put him away for....

    Fuck the O.P.P. and all other racists malicious agents of law enforcement and government!!!

  • As for this man, with the baseball bat, hes not a racist, hes pissed off about the fact that these idiot natives are causing havok in the town. And i wonder why the police didnt lay chargers, ohh i dunno, maybe the fact that their making it hard for the police as well. and fantino isnt a racist, hes doing his job, their breaking the law. GOD i hate these ignorant bastards, yeah right hes not guilty, thats retarded, he assaulted military personel while they were passing through the town

  • first, i live in the town where the protesting with shawn brant was, hes an idiot. His tactics are violent and abrasive. Its not fair to the towns people. hes not even native. he was adopted by natives. finally, the media has shown sympathy, they went to the reserve and showed some homes on the reserve and was like, look how they live, its awful, well, no because they didnt show ALL the houses, there are two millionaire millionaires on that reserve, all these natives who are doing this are idiot

  • Truth be told!!!!

    Fantino is a racist!!!!

    The Media lies Canada is this the first time you heard that?? Be smart people, quit listening to everything you hear in the Media!!!

  • BTW: Please don't erase the rude comments below...they effectively 'in and of themselves' prove an unspoken yet blatantly obvious point for anyone with an IQ over 10

  • Nia:wen Shawn for your constant sacrifice for the good of your people...despite what people/media say now...history will remember you fondly I'm sure and will most likely look upon the present actions of the authorities with dissapointment and great disdain.

    The pity about the whole thing though...is that first...everyone presently involved will have to at first died...Ironic...and also the reason OKA is not yet in our school curriculum. (There are still people alive to offend.)

  • Beg Ladies!!!  you look pathetic!!!

  • rotflmao do you all sleep with Shawn? He is a pig?

  • Shawn Brant is an IDIOT!!!
