Does anyone else get the sense that a certain someone was deeply unpopular in grade school?
Posted by Kate at November 22, 2009 10:30 AMRichard Warmen is now attacking kids that blog? Does he own a helmet? he may get his knuckles rapped for this one... even from "his team".

Sure, a decent human being would think so, but I eventually found my way to bigcity lib and they're ecstatic, wetting their pants over a "speechie" being sued. It's interesting to see the Liberal brand is now reduced to cheering on speech codes and loons like warman.
At times I think these people climbed the wrong tree out of partisan motives and know this stuff sucks, but i could be giving hem too much credit.
It would indeed be interesting to talk to Warman's classmates from his HS and Elementary school days.
He was probably the class FINK.
If only Warman had been born in Germany,about 1920,he'd have found a youth group in school where he'd have fit in perfectly,and undoubtedly risen right to the top.
Posted by: dmorris at November 22, 2009 12:41 PMI was very impressed with the quality of Walker blog and his writing. If ever there was a time to rally against CHRC and Warmen, now is the time. Walker needs all of the support we can give him. Glad to hear that he didn't get scared off and that he did not sign the apology. Way smarter than his years. Will be following his blog now.
Posted by: MaryM at November 22, 2009 12:42 PMI follow Walker's blog and also at The Lynch Mob which he runs. I was impressed with his writing before, and now, knowing his age, I'm doubly impressed. Only 17, but by far the better man than the middle-aged bully who's gunning for him.

"First they came for the...."
Ezra and mark should join the posse....
Posted by: sasquatch at November 22, 2009 12:58 PMRichard Warmen gunning for a kid now? Jealous no doubt, Walker is a good writer.
But my my, how low can one sad old leftie go?
Sometimes the odd turd floats on the top awhile before gravity and the big flush rid us of this unpleasantness.
Who was saying again that the left never engages in censorship?
At least he could have the good sense to change his last name to Peacemen.
Posted by: shaken at November 22, 2009 2:44 PMOnce again I am forced to say that the Code Duello should be revived.
Posted by: The Phantom at November 22, 2009 4:04 PMThe problem is that as he is a minor, his parents would be legally on the hook for their own lawyer, court costs, and any awards to the plaintiff if Dick Wermin should win. Given that the Ottawa Citizen is usually CHRC and Dick friendly territory, the shock to his system from the article must have been great indeed.
Looks like parents and their less than age of majority writers who aren't members of the MSM fan clubs will now be in need of legal advice re asset protection strategies.
Is this a great country or what?!!!
Posted by: Sgt Lejaune at November 22, 2009 4:04 PMThanks for the support, everyone. And thanks, Kate, for linking to the story.
Posted by: Walker at November 22, 2009 5:03 PMHang in there Walker.
How long is that "person" going to get away with his crap?
Posted by: Ken (Kulak) at November 22, 2009 5:16 PMWalker - warmonger is attacking a minor; that is something the HRC is against!
Posted by: Jema54 at November 22, 2009 6:04 PMCould a counter-suit be possible against the complainant?
Posted by: ltr at November 22, 2009 7:35 PMah... the code duello....
in the novel Scaramouche a half blind virtuous man when challenged to a duel by a master of the rapier or epee laffed....accepted the challenge and then as his right directed the 'ground' to be a dark cellar with carpenter's axes as the weapon...the master swordsman declined to pursue the matter...
would that Warman were exposed to the identical commonsensical fairness in settling disputes...
Posted by: john begley at November 22, 2009 10:23 PMYes John, pistols at dawn... the crisp morning air... the mist slowly rising...those seventeen year old reflexes just snapping that gun around faster than you can say Holy Sh...
Methinks Lucy wouldn't be near so bold. That's 'cause Lucy is a coward who picks on kids and girls.
