holy fuck he talks for like 4 minutes and there still isn't a question yet
fuck there's like 10 questions Wikipedia said he didn't ask a question, he played a recording of the University President swearing at him in his office.
No he blathers on for a few minutes and then the MC-person says "Is there going to be a question?" and then he gets mad because they "aren't giving hima chance to speak". Thhen he asks the president to call the judge on his court case or some shit to get the charges dropped, then the president says no, then the guy gets outraged saying the president doesn't understand that uOttawa is oppressing peoples' freedom of speech, then the MC just lectures him about how he's being an asshole and they move on to the next question.

well i still don't really understand what he was really arrested for, but at the very least he's a douchebag. also he's facing a maximum sentence of 6 months, so worse atrocities have been committed.

Kelly sounds like he has some deep seeded issues, but I'm not sure that warrants and arrest.

Here's the gist of it. A certain student was barred from being on university property. He came to visit the SFUO office for something. Technically, it is not the property of the University of Ottawa, but there is no physical way he could have gotten to the office without passing through University property. The police were called to arrest him.
A confrontation between Seamus and the officers happened. They didn't believe that the office was not University property, and since it was, they had no legal right to arrest the student until he stepped out of the office. Seamus made a deal with the cops that he would go get the deed to the office to prove it.
By the time he got back, the student had been arrested. He flipped out, started swearing at the cops. The cops told him to settle down, and he didn't. One thing leads to another, and he's in the back of the cop car.
It's a little more complicated than that, but there was definitely some bad decisions made by both parties.

Lol. I'm forwarding this thread to my friends from Ottawa and then laughing at them.

It's still remarkable that they would go that far to keep him off campus. Even for campus safety, that seems over the line.

I've got a hunch this kid is some obnoxious know-it-all in-your-face political activist who was arrested for trespassing and/or disturbing the peace, and is trying to convince himself/others that he's really being persecuted for his beliefs, instead of being jailed for being a social nuisance.
HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED
There are two options here. The first is that you don't realize how stupid and hypocritical what you're writing is. The second is that you are purposely doing that, and trying to be satirical. My gut instinct is that there is something like a 99% chance for the former and a 1% chance for the latter.

You can't be arrested for asking a question, and probably not for taking a video. I can only assume that there must be some underlying issues here that we don't know about if this kid is actually being arrested/was prosecuted.
Yeah, seriously its canada not china right?

Wait a minute, this student was arrested for exercising his freedom of speech???
Also, it says that the police entered his home WITHOUT a warrant which if i may recall is a serious offense to a person's privacy and personal issues. This should go in favor of the student and the university has some serious issues. I bet the judge was being biased towards the university because he/she got into the system politically with someone's help. Unbelievable.
Did this arrest take place in US or Canada?

It happened in the capital of Canada, a mere few minutes walk from the parliament buildings.....

Or you're making assumptions about a situation that you really don't know anything about...

I got the same email. I hope he will get what he wants, but I probably won't go and cheer for him. I will still mentally support him, though.
These stories are so stupid.

I've been on his case for 2 years now. At first it seemed like he was being a stupid little nuisance, but the university has really blown it out of proportions.
I think I'll go out and support him, and any other UoO students should come too. Even if you don't support him it will still be a pretty big deal in terms of school events during your stay here at our lovely university.
Don't miss out on a piece of history!

Nah, but talking about it or looking up the story would do

Sometimes, you have to be radical to accomplish your goals. But, most of the time, there are better ways to do things.
