Surveillance video appears to show anti-vaccine protesters trying to set apartment building on fire

The Vancouver mayor told truckers to stay out of his city since they have a 95 percent vaccination rate. But in Ottawa, the protests took a turn after midnight when residents near the protest began shouting out of their windows for protesters to be quiet and go home.

According to surveillance video, some of the protesters went inside of an apartment building and attempted to start a fire.

------

"We were able to see the building's video footage of the event," Muñoz explained in the post. "These two men got into the lobby, and began lighting the full package. The building is old and has wood paneling on the walls. It is also located at the epicenter of the convoy protests in Ottawa's core. One of them taped up the door handles so no one could get in or out. This is the most insidious part of the experience besides the lighting of the fire."

there were DUers who said they "understood" fires at BLM protests - that is utter fucking nonsense, even if buildings are empty it is ARSON, it is CRIMINAL and firefighters risk their LIVES to put out fire......NEVER TOLERATE ARSON

I think we will find out that some of these alleged protestors are not Canadians, and if they are Canadians, they are funded by people outside of Canada.

If that's true, that should warrant an 'attempted murder' charge -- 'attempted murderS', actually! One charge for EACH of the residents of the building!
