It did not seem like the squeal of delight, but more like the squeal of a stuck pig that just got slaughtered.

		<description><![CDATA[From the link CCD provided:

&quot;In a statement to the Sun, Winkels stressed she wasn’t arrested for blowing bubbles.

“The fact is that the bubbles had nothing to do with my arrest,” she said. “The reason I was arrested is because I was wearing a backpack and had a lawyer’s phone number written on my arm. This number was given out by lawyers, and they advised us to have it written somewhere on our bodies.”

The 20-year-old was a volunteer street medic at the G20 and said she “wasn’t even protesting.”

“My medical supplies were taken and suggested they could be used as evidence for my charge,” she said.

Court records show she is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mischief over $5,000.

Winkels said she was talking to another officer when “Officer Bubbles” came over and angrily told her to put her bubbles away.

“I was having a conversation with the female officer,” she said. “She asked me my name, and I preferred not to give it. If she had asked me to identify myself to the police, I would have shown them my ID which I was carrying in my pocket, however, she was talking to me person to person, not officer to civilian.”

Winkels asked the female officer if her bubbles were bothering her.

“She laughed and shrugged her shoulders, which I perceived as a ‘No big deal!’” she said. “After this point, Officer Bubbles stormed over and said what he said on the video.”

Winkels said she put the bubbles away and the officer went away.

She was later swept up with others when arrests were made at Queen St. W. and Noble St. in Parkdale.

“I was not ‘blowing them in his face’ or being rude, I was simply trying to keep the mood of the crowd light, as I figure happy people are less likely to start a violent outbreak,” Winkels said. “There was no way I could have blown them in his face because, as I said, he was nowhere near me when I was blowing them, until he came over to talk to me. He was standing roughly 20 or 30 feet away, and nowhere near the range of the bubbles.”

Winkels said she feels she was not treated fairly during the G20.

“I was denied many of my civil and human rights, and this whole situation has been blown out of proportion, no pun intended,” she said.&quot;
______

Oh yeah!  There&#039;s some dangerous intent to harm and/or offend in that gal!  roflol

This makes Officer Bubbles look like even more of a dick.  I was kind of wondering why the female officer is chuckling in the video.  She was laughing at his ridiculous machismo.]]></description>

Blouise – It was just a retort to Buddha’s comment about my need for common sense.

To extend the theoretical debate, how does &lt;b&gt;the officer&lt;/b&gt; know it was JUST Bubbles? Could be mixed in with obnoxious bodily substances or even worse!

Buddha&#039;s response to your question about &lt;b&gt;&quot;the officer&quot;&lt;/b&gt;:
&quot;A little something called “common sense”.&quot;  ... and Buddha continues in the post to refer to the officer as  ... he ... him.  Never once during that initial post does he refer to you as being the one lacking common sense or to you, personally, at all.

Thus your claim that you were merely responding to his comment about your need for common sense is completely false.

Unless, of course, you are the officer who arrested the bubbleblower posting here under a different name ... then, yes he inferred you lacked common sense.

Though I do find it interesting that you characterize your comment as a &quot;retort&quot; but others comments as &quot;personal attacks&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prove it then.  

Oh, that&#039;s right.  You can&#039;t.

Battery is both a tort and a crime. Its essential element, harmful or offensive contact, is the same in both areas of the law.  You &lt;i&gt;almost got the definition of the elements correct.  The &quot;substance put into motion by him&quot;?  Cite the specific code for the jurisdiction in question or you&#039;re simply making shit up again. 

In order to prove the common law defined offense of battery, you must prove (1) an act by a defendant made with (2) an intent to cause harmful or offensive contact on the part of the defendant and actual (3) harmful or offensive contact to the plaintiff.

Your &quot;harmful&quot; argument was crap and has been dispatched.  I will not address it further.  This leaves you with the &quot;offensive&quot; argument of which I address elements one and two leading into element three.

Bubbles were blown by the defendant.  Thus the stipulation that element one is met.

As to element two, her intent is as subjective as his offense, so unless you&#039;re psychic, if she says she wasn&#039;t trying to be offensive?  That is that.  She was outdoors in a public place conducting a legal act - blowing bubbles.  The contact was not harmful, she says it was not intended to be offensive and an action indirect at best being wind borne and beyond the foreseeable control of the woman and thus arguably accidental contact and absent any motive.  Element two - her intent - is rendered moot.

Look at the tape.  She was complying with his rudely made demand and she put the bubbles away when the officer got threatening.  The woman asked for respect when he was speaking to her and he mocked her.  Then a gentleman in a gray t-shirt was even more confrontational about the &quot;officer&#039;s&quot; bad attitude - which angered the cop even further.  You can see the officer visibly clench up. He can say he was offended, but that&#039;s just as subjective as her motive and carries just as much weight.  

This is where you&#039;ve got a problem with element three - proving his state of mind as being offended at the touch of bubbles. The above is evidence to the contrary.

Had he truly been offended?  He would have and could have simply arrested her upon the touch without opening his mouth other than to tell her she was under arrest.  That is the natural reaction to being offended - to act immediately - and well within his legal powers.  

However, he did not arrest her immediately.  

He arrested her remotely in time from the alleged &quot;offensive touch&quot;. Instead of affecting immediate arrest, he opted to act like was &quot;the badass&quot; in the scenario and threaten a girl half his size, engaged in legal activities, over something patently ridiculous and probably accidental and beyond her control (unless she can control the winds!) - battery by soap bubble.  When others in the crowd took him to task for his attitude, he visibly smoldered, still not affecting her immediate arrest for the alleged offense.

Then after making a fool of himself in front of a crowd and because he couldn&#039;t or wouldn&#039;t escalate enough to arrest the other guy for challenging his bad attitude without really doing something to loose his badge, he arrested her remotely in time after she had complied thus indicating his actual motive was not his subjective offense for which he could have (and should have) affected an immediate arrest.  He can claim he was subjectively offended but that carries the same weight as her subjective intent.  

Except for the evidence of his actions - his visible and demonstrable anger and/or embarrassment, emotional reactions with physical cues that visibly show on the records and are evidenced by his tense and hostile bearing and snide condescending speech toward the woman. 

Thus element three fails due to his failure to take immediate action in arresting her for battery and further evidenced that his true reaction was not offense but probably something else judging by both his subsequent speech and actions to the alleged offensive contact and remote in time actions incident to affecting arrest. 

Awww. Someone had a case of the &quot;grumpies&quot; in addition to being a general douche bag. 

Filed as a tort case?  A judge would accept a summary motion to dismiss and dismissed with prejudice.

Filed as a criminal case?  Case dismissed.  End of story. Or maybe there was another reason altogether he arrested her?

Again, you are both factually and logically deficient in your claim both to the harmful aspect of the charge and the offensive contact aspect of the charge.

Now run along, &#039;lil Russell the Deficient.

Not just because you couldn&#039;t prove battery.  

Because her actual charge wasn&#039;t battery at all. 

Not that you could argue that any better than you argue battery.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Russell, your inability to actually leave is only further illustrating that BPD is indeed one of your likely (multiple) afflictions. You have very poor impulse control and wildly fluctuations of emotional states in addition to disordered thought and delusional beliefs which constitute distortions in cognition.

&quot;Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual&#039;s sense of self-identity. Originally thought to be at the &quot;borderline&quot; of psychosis, people with BPD suffer from a disorder of emotion regulation. While less well known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 2 percent of adults, mostly young women. There is a high rate of self-injury without suicide intent, as well as a significant rate of suicide attempts and completed suicide in severe cases. Patients often need extensive mental health services, and account for 20 percent of psychiatric hospitalizations. Yet, with help, many improve over time and are eventually able to lead productive lives.

Symptoms

While a person with depression or bipolar disorder typically endures the same mood for weeks, a person with BPD may experience intense bouts of anger, depression, and anxiety that may last only hours, or at most a day. These may be associated with episodes of impulsive aggression, self-injury, and drug or alcohol abuse. Distortions in cognition and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are. Such symptoms are most acute when people with BPD feel isolated and lacking in social support, and may result in frantic efforts to avoid being alone.

People with BPD often have highly unstable patterns of social relationships. While they can develop intense but stormy attachments, their attitudes towards family, friends, and loved ones may suddenly shift from idealization (great admiration and love) to devaluation (intense anger and dislike). Thus, they may form an immediate attachment and idealize the other person, but when a slight separation or conflict occurs, they switch unexpectedly to the other extreme and angrily accuse the other person of not caring for them at all. Even with family members, individuals with BPD are highly sensitive to rejection, reacting with anger and distress to such mild separations as a vacation, a business trip, or a sudden change in plans. These fears of abandonment seem to be related to difficulties feeling emotionally connected to important persons when they are physically absent, leaving the individual with BPD feeling lost and perhaps worthless. Suicide threats and attempts may occur along with anger at perceived abandonment and disappointments.

People with BPD exhibit other impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, binge eating and risky sex. BPD often occurs together with other psychiatric problems, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and other personality disorders.&quot;

I feel sorry for your kids and wife if you have any. I can walk away. They have to put up with this all the time! My advice, which I am sure you won’t take but I will give it to you anyway. Get on medication. Seek help! Don’t act on too many of your conclusions.
