Kevin Goudreau's Brother Involved in Homicide

Yesterday, in the middle of a lighthearted article we posted on the blog, we included the story of a murder that took place sometime on November 27. Kevin Goudreau, who's no stranger to those who are readers of this blog, claimed that the accused was his half-brother and the victim his stepmother:

Given the nature of what Goudreau has written in the past, we did view this claim with some skepticism, however there was something about it that actually seemed more authentic than his regular ravings. So we did some research.

This morning we were contacted by one of our friends who was able to confirm that Kevin Goudreau and the accused are half-brothers and that the victim was his stepmother.

On the surface while this murder is connected to Kevin Goudreau only through his relationship with the accused and the victim (and it seems apparent that he was estranged from his family), our friend did point out to us something that really stood out for us and which is mentioned in some news coverage of the incident:

Rene Goudreau, who is charged with first-degree murder of his wheelchair-bound mother, 53-year-old Lucie Goudreau, has a long history of mental illness, including schizoaffective and bipolar disorders, according to Ontario Review Board documents obtained by the Sun.

Consider this information regarding Rene Goudreau. And consider that some families have histories of mental illness.

Do these posts by Kevin Goudreau then make a little more sense given this context?

Things here at ARC have been pretty slow, and we couldn't be more happy about that. Still, we thought we'd post a very brief update.

Most people know that this is all absolutely meaningless. However, some apparently seem to actually believe by merely posting the above, "notice" that their Facebook profile becomes private.

Someone like Paulie:

Three Men Assault Two Individuals in Edmonton. Hate Crime Alleged

Well. This is interesting.

Four sought in alleged hate crime near Whyte Avenue

Edmonton Journal November 26, 2012 4:37 PM

EDMONTON - Police are searching for four people involved in an alleged hate crime near Whyte Avenue last August.

Police say the group — which included a very large, muscular man with a shaved head, a chubby, shirtless man with a long Afro hair style, and another man wearing a yellow cast and a lady’s blouse — assaulted two people outside a liquor store near 99th Street and 81st Avenue at about 3 a.m. on Saturday Aug. 11.

Terry Tremaine Starting to Play Nice?

A visit to Tremaine's website now features the following:

That's all well and good, but there appears to be a lot more that should be removed in order to be in compliance.

It's a start, though it looks to us to be just a start.

But consider how many years it has taken to get to this point. All he had to do to avoid his present circumstances was to  remove the offending material. No one said he couldn't be a bigot. He just couldn't post material that demonized another race or religion to the point where it puts members of those groups in harms way.

His supporters present him as a martyr. We view him as a pathetic fool who was used by the likes of Paulie and others.

Terry Long Comes Out Of Seclusion; Supports Topham

Arthur Topham had an arraignment hearing Tuesday where he pleaded not guilty. He is enjoined from contacting Richard Warman and Harry Abrams but otherwise has no restrictions on his use of the Internet. For now at least. A few interesting points that critics of sec. 13 (human rights code) might consider:

1. A sec. 319 (criminal code) charge appears to compel the respondent to attend quite a few hearings, likely more than anything resulting from a sec. 13 complaint.

2. Failure to appear at one of these hearings may very well result in an arrest warrant, unlike a sec. 13 complaint.

Sec. 13 doesn't look so bad after all, eh?  We suppose this is yet another case where one should be careful what one wishes for.

Paulie has been dutifully updating everyone about the status of Topham, including re-posting Topham's most recent update on Radical Press. We won't include that part since it's really just echoing what he always writes, however Paulie does include a "forward" which really is a blast from the past:

Curriculum Hateful? Yes. Anything Being Done About It? Not Really.

End of Jewish Plots and Treacheries: Ever since the Prophet’s entry into Madina, the treacherous Jews had vehemently opposed him and his Islamic call, evoking memories of their hostility to the previous Prophet, Jesus Christ, half a millennium ago. The crafty Jews entered into an alliance with the polytheist Quraish in a bid to stamp out Islam. They conspired to kill Prophet Muhammad despite the fact that he was lenient towards them and had treated them kindly, hoping to convince them of Islam’s truth. But eventually as Jewish plots and aggressions increased, he had no choice other than to take up arms against them, in order to protect Islam and the Muslims. At the battle of Khaiber which is famous for Imam Ali’s heroic exploits, the Prophet defeated them ending Jewish intrigues and conspiracies in Arabia.

This is an excerpt from the curriculum of the East End Madrassah in Toronto. To say that such language is disturbing would be to understate how vile it really is. And that this, presumably, has been taught to children?

Let's try this as an experiment:

Tremaine Going to Jail

It's either 30 days or six months depending on if Terry decides to play nice.

We're trying to see if we can get the reaction from the bonehead community and their supporters (if we do, we'll add it to this article later) but until then here's a story in the "Leader-Post":

Regina man gets jail for racist messages

CBC News Posted: Nov 7, 2012 2:33 PM CST Last Updated: Nov 7, 2012 5:52 PM CST 

A Saskatchewan man who refused to stop posting racist messages on websites is going to jail.

On Wednesday, a Federal Court judge sentenced Terry Tremaine of Regina to at least 30 days in jail for acting in contempt of an order of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.

Topham Officialy Charged

We've been enjoying the exploding heads on the Obama haters this evening and decided to take the day off from the blog.

Then we checked our email.

B.C. man charged with promoting hatred against Jews on website

We might have more to write about this later.

And the Basis For the Lemire Appeal Is....

.... sort of pathetic.

For those readers who don't have fantastic eyesight, here it is broken down:

We've said it before here and we'll say it again.

Gotta love public documents.

Marc Lemire is Appealing

Well, not appealing in any physical sense of the word. Let's face it, the dude should lay off the French crullers.

No, Marc Lemire, former member and the last leader of the Heritage Front (despite his denial) is appealing the recent decision concerning the constitutionality of the Canadian Human Rights Act. BCL beat us to the punch on this, but he also beat Lemire to it so, we're okay with that.
