"""""Francesca Rogier I don't know the hours, but you can try calling that number. If somebody could go to the SPCA in Burnside and make sure they don't have a cat matching that photo I would appreciate it too - I cannot call them because of their history with Brindi (they ruined her health, among other things...). They have a website. In both cases, Homeward Bound or the SPCA, they do not have to keep an animal for more than 72 hours.""""""
Oh Frannie give it a rest,no one really gives a rats ass about you,it was YOU who tried to make a fool out of the SPCA and Homeward Bound,Hell I recall that you were issued with a Police order to stay away from the SPCA,once you were allowed back under conditions ie no photos you made videos and posted on your blog,now go back and play with your new found friends at ONS,and see how much longer they put up with your shit....Ohhhhhh BTY not only is it against By laws to nail posters on telephone poles it falls under the CCC damage to property,love to see you charged,so you could say bye to NS .....Finally.

BULLET POINTS
In March 2012, Brindi's owner, Francesca Rogier, will be put on trial for by-law infractions stemming from a minor scuffle with a dog in front of her house on September 14, 2010. The dog was not seriously harmed. The owners were related to the people who first reported Brindi to the city, and one of them works for the ...city of Halifax.
If the court finds Francesca guilty on any charge, the prosecutor for Halifax will invoke a law allowing the court to order a dog put down as an "additional penalty".
BACKGROUND
In this case, Halifax is seeking a court order to kill Brindi as an “additional penalty”. This is a repeat of the first trial, where her owner was charged for three by-law violations – six months after the event, and immediately after the city lost its case in supreme court, but refused to return Brindi.
DOG LAW MUST BE ENFORCED USING REASON AND DISCRETION
Cities have a role to insure public safety, but within reason: they must also treat dogs and owners fairly. By-law infractions are minor offenses that are meant to be fined. Killing a dog is not a fair or moral penalty for any by-law infraction. If a city seeks to kill a dog it says is dangerous, it must present proper grounds. It must have proof that it has attacked with the intent to kill or do serious harm. It cannot fairly ask for “pre-emptive” action. Dogs that fight dogs are not necessarily a threat to public safety (dogs are not part of the public – if they were, they would have rights!). Dogs typically fight dogs as a way to establish dominance. It is no indication they will attack humans. And dogs can be trained out of this behavior. Fatalities due to dog attacks rank very low on the list of causes of accidental death and injury. They are not even among the top fifty.
UNFAIR TREATMENT OF DOGS AND OWNERS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Cities should be held to a consistent standard that is in keeping with their usual enforcement of the by-law. Halifax decided in 2008 to muzzle, then seize and destroy Brindi, fully aware that she had never attacked a person and had not injured dogs at all, except for one minor injury that was treated with first aid. Halifax’s decision to kill Brindi was thus way out of line with its customary enforcement. Its decision to seize Brindi once again is not only cruel and unusual punishment itself, but also in stark contrast with its handling of a recent case of a pit bull that attacked a woman in the throat and face. The city has never had Brindi’s behavior evaluated professionally. It will not be bringing an expert witness to the stand next week. (An animal control officer will testify, but she is not qualified in dog training and behavior.) Clearly Halifax is not pursuing this case in the interest of public safety.
BOTTOM LINE: BRINDI IS NOT A KILLER AND MUST NOT BE KILLED
Brindi was evaluated by several trainers and behaviorists at the request of her owner. None of these deemed Brindi dangerous. They regard her as territorial, and suggested more training. Brindi’s owner, Francesca Rogier, observed all court-imposed conditions for Brindi’s return. The conditions are: following a muzzle order, building and maintaining a dog run, and doing further training. The conditions were identical to the conditions she originally offered to the city in 2008, but were met with no response from the city. The incident leading to Brindi’s second seizure and third year behind bars was an accidental event. Freak accidents do happen: people should not be punished for them by the destruction of a beloved family member. Moreover, the incident was no more serious than previous incidents. Like those, it occurred on or near her property (i.e. at most, a few feet from the boundary). Brindi simply needed more time to readjust to her surroundings after being locked up for two years without contact with other dogs. Francesca worked with trainer Susan Jordan. She did more training that was required and continued after Brindi was released – not because a court ordered it, but because she wanted Brindi to be as perfect as possible.
Francesca needs support and prayers as she continues to prepare for the trial.

Well SFB you got it somewhat right,but left out the leash bit as ordered by the Judge,however that is a mute point as Brindi was not even wearing a muzzle,during the last attack,let alone the leash. Of course accidents happen but lets look at it this way,you do drive through a red light and kill someone,yes its an accident however you will be charged and in all likely hood be found guilty; now do the same thing a few months later and kill another person,what in fuck are you going to do stand in front of the Judge and say it was just an accident,oh I'm sure the Judge will say ok it was just an accident so you are free to go....Like HELL SFB,you will pay the price,however in Brindi's case She will pay the price and you will get lots of media attention; IMO its you that should be locked up and Brindi should be free to run in the country on a large farm, Now go back to ONS and try to impress them, BTY I see you arn't doing to good there,on the tapes I seen you seem to be brushed off as a real nut case....what can I say but if it looks like a duck,walks like a duck,must be a duck,just change duck to nut and you will get it.

Francesca Rogier I believe it is absolute BS to detain James for two days, just as it was last week to detain the three of them for the rest of the weekend. It's called unlawful detention, habeas corpus; etc. Last Monday, a judge ruled that Rattrap's charges of obstruction of justice and violating his conditions were satisfied by "time served" and he was released - sounds fair, unless you consider that the charges and conditions were unreasonable and unfounded in the first place!

Amanda Lee Charges are definitely not dropped...yet. We'll see what happens at the upcoming hearing. He has been released with a 'surrety' (me), and if he breaks the law (or they claim he did) then we will both be charged $1000. As Hamish stated, James did not enter the park today just so folks know...

Here is a comment Frannie made on occupyns;its so interesting to note Fran is a USA citizen here in Canada as a guest,and all she seems to be doing is trying to excite a riot here,I am sending this entire Blog along with all the links to where she posts to Immigration Canada so they can see she should be considered a threat to Canadian security;and should be deported or locked up however deportation sounds like the best option.

OK campers! Hear me now and understand me later, as they say...
I am once again growing very concerned that too many of us simply do not know or understand our fundamental rights, let alone appreciate the gravity involved when they are violated.
If you don't know your rights, how will you know when yours or someone else's are being violated, or what to do about it and when?
...
I believe it's the responsibility of everyone in a (self-proclaimed) democracy to know these things, and their duty to be vigilant and prepared to stand up for them. It's not enough to say "They can't do that, can they?" or talk about suing - that's not good enough for somebody sitting in jail, deprived of a phone call or food, or being beaten up.
Some people have an exaggerated idea of what protections are in place, others have no idea at all. Before you talk about conflict de-escalation techniques, or the global problems behind OWS: first things first! Read the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Read the UN Charter of Human Rights. Don't even consider taking part in any kind of protest unless and until you do. This is the best for everybody. Nobody expects you to be a constitutional lawyer able to answer every possible question, but given what is happening these days, you ought to be familiar with the first eight sections of the Canadian Charter.
Thank you...""

At 3:50 today, James Wiseman called me to say he'd been arrested again for entering Cornwallis (i.e. Peace and Freedom) Park. As he was walking home, the police picked him up. He needed someone to sign for him so he could be released, so I left immediately. I got to the police station at 4:25, and was told that they were 'busy', so he was not ready to be released and they would call me when he was. If it's not before 7, he'll be held overnight...send good thoughts his way..let's hope they call soon so I can go and get him and he's not stuck there overnight!!

Francesca Rogier Amanda, it's up to you to decide what's best here, but if I can make some suggestions, if you can get back there and ask to speak to the officer in command - if they want to know why, say it's because you are very concerned about James' condition. If you can get to that person, work with him as well as possible: start with reasonable questions such as would they give him food if it was dropped off; express concerns for his health as he has lost weight recently, has little money to buy food, etc. (both true).

He said that he might have a concussion but they can't tell. They sure as hell can tell if happens to a hockey player. I would suggest that if no one takes him to the hospital to get checked out for the pains he has been experiencing then someone should write down the symptoms of what he has been experiencing and e-mail these to all city councillors and demand that this man be checked out properly for these injuries.

Francesca Rogier One of us could request that he be seen by a doctor, however. I am really also worried about him eating. AND this nonsense about a 7 pm deadline is just that; I rather wish Amanda would go back to the station and find out what the problem is. The commander I got on the phone was the same one I spoke with last Friday night several times and he was reasonable enough to let info be passed to Cynthia Williams from her parents, and get the minors released, etc. in response to my requests. I think his name was Hirnan.

Francesca Rogier When I spoke with James about it, he said the EMS folks wanted him to go to the hospital to get checked out but he did not want to - he sounded like he did not trust them, even. I was surprised given that he also says he's had so many problems with brain injuries.

Francesca Rogier I believe it is absolute BS to detain James for two days, just as it was last week to detain the three of them for the rest of the weekend. It's called unlawful detention, habeas corpus; etc. Last Monday, a judge ruled that Rattrap's charges of obstruction of justice and violating his conditions were satisfied by "time served" and he was released - sounds fair, unless you consider that the charges and conditions were unreasonable and unfounded in the first place!

Francesca Rogier
One year ago on Nov. 19, I was forcibly evicted from the home I own by Halifax by-law officials and 3 RCMP members from Musquodoboit Harbour, without notice or prior order to remedy. When I checked my house two days later I found damage to the hot water heater and the well. And the dog run.

Francesca Rogier It took the lawyers at HRM three weeks to figure out another (unjust) way to evict me, after I made sure the inspector could not credibly do it. He comes under provincial law. So they just sent orders to by-law and they came the next day - never set eyes on them before, and they said my fence (that the inspector ordered and passed) was no good, and that was a reason for eviction; when I challenged that, they said it was because the house was unsafe. When I asked what was unsafe, they said nothing and threatened me with arrest.

Francesca Rogier I was denied the right of appeal on the excuse that the eviction was done on the "emergency clause" - a clause the law provides for cases where an order to remedy was issued (with 30 days to comply, and a week to appeal) and the owner ignored it. That was never done. The law does not explicitly rule out appeals under any circumstances; it would violate the Charter. But the councilor, Brad Johns, deferred to the HRM lawyer. Who of course had instructions.
I was denied the right to appeal the demolition order as well. They did a lot of very fancy, evil footwork throughout, then told me I had to go to the SUpreme Court to challenge it - which is untrue; I just found out I should have gone to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board, they oversee decisions on Heritage property.

Francesca Rogier HRM hit me with four things the day before I went to court to try (in vain) for that injunction (oct. 8, 2010 - the supreme court judge "declined" jurisdiction, by the way - very odd indeed!): around 8:30 am Immigration called me to check status. They knew my status very well; the guy was sarcastic and amused, in fact. Around 9:30, five guys piled out of two cars from by-law, with the inspector, and he pointed vaguely to some cracked wood at the base of the piers - on the ground, where it could not collapse anywhere! - and the piers being a bit crooked - they could also not collapse, by the way - and left. About an hour later I was served with a summons by the woman who seized my dog two weeks earlier (They have begun to use women lawyers, women cops, women dogcatchers, on purpose, notice that??) This is after the Herald published the wrong charges, two days earlier. Then, in the evening as I was trying to prepare for court the next day, HRM dumped me with its enclosure file, which made me ill.

And then they lose in court and keep her, and then start a trial, and pay off the SPCA to keep silent - and then what? They seize her again at the first opportunity - and even the HRM dispatcher tried to help, talked me into filing a report that the other dog attacked Brindi - and they fired her for it, and tried to get me charged with it - which did not work, as they were illegally recording the calls!

Fran...What the hell??
Now it seems we get to the heart of why she is blabbing all over Occupy N.S. You know there is always an agenda with her. Just look at this latest post she put on her twitter and tell me what you make of it. I know what it looks like to me. She has tried this before and here it is again.

Could someone please take a break from occupying to free my dog #Brindi from this kennel before they kill her? yfrog.com/h271312816j

A candid photo of ONS
Looks like a peaceful protest. Hmm not really. Not by the few with their mouths open wide screaming.

Every Penny Counts
Fran must be still begging for cash. (She needs big bucks to keep things going and it is not for her dog.) Talk about dropping to new lows, here is the latest on her page.
"Marie Rochester
I promised you $2 . I know it's not much. where is the chipin or link?Do you have paypal?""
Of course she has paypal, it is posted on every site she has. Sounds like this lady could use that $2 herself, but Frannie will gladly take it.

Someone just has to much time on Her Hands
Letter to the Chronicle Herald Editor
Syndicated from Media Co-op on Sat, 2011-11-12
I've copied and pasted a "letter to the editor" meant for the Chronicle Herald from a concerned citizen.
Dear Editor:
I want to thank you for your coverage of yesterday’s brutal and disgraceful - and very possibly unlawful – eviction of Occupy Nova Scotia. As I know all too well what it is like to be the victim of an unlawful eviction, I decided to go to the Halifax police station to await the release of the 14 men and women arrested on Friday. I picked up a copy of the Herald on the way home. As this shameful action will doubtless be recalled on Remembrance Day for years to come, I thought the following might be a matter of interest for your readers.
As your report indicates, HRM police took into custody at the Gottingen Street detachment sometime around 3:30 pm on Friday, charging each with “obstruction of justice”. Hearing they would be released around 11 pm, I went to the station that evening and waited quietly outside with about 25 others, among them the family of an 18 year old from New Glasgow. No journalists were present.
But 11 pm came and went, and still no one was released. Police apparently “processed” the arrestees one at a time. They insisted that they were not processing the ONS arrestees any slower than usual. However, they did not begin releasing them until around 1:30 am – and in ones and twos, about every hour. As for the speed of processing, another man (not part of ONS), was released after being charged for for cocaine possession and held for about an hour.
Also, police initially said they would be holding the two minors in the group, homeless boys aged 16 and 17, overnight. After we had a chance to assure them the boys would have a place to sleep at St. Andrews church, they were released, but not until around 3:30 am. By the time I left at 4 am, two were still in custody, including the only American in the group, who was the only one forced to pay a bail, which police set at $500. The other had been in direct communication with HRM police since the start of the occupation, Oct. 15, and had become a frequent subject of interviews by local media.
The Herald article mentioned that protesters complained about police punching peaceful protesters in the face and lifting them from the ground using chokeholds. I was told the same by many ONS participants during the course of the evening, in disturbing detail - yet also said “None appeared to be injured.” I find it hard to believe that your reporters did not take the trouble to find out that some of those punches and chokeholds were used on young girls, whose necks are now bruised quite badly. It is also perplexing that your reporters apparently missed the fact that protesters had occasion to call EMS was called to the scene to treat at least two people for injuries caused by police using excessive force. One was the 18 year old female, who was apparently hit in the chest hard enough to cause difficulty breathing and bruising. I believe she was one of the three your article described as being dragged through the mud.
The other protester treated by EMS is a tall 230 pound man, known to police for his daily video posts – which include a friendly interview with the mayor during the first week of the occupation. Others recorded this man being tackled by police;. He only recalls waking up in the paddy wagon. EMS found that he had an injured wrist, two sprained or dislocated shoulders, a dislocated jaw, and a concussion, among others. Multiple witnesses say neither she nor the man injured taunted or assaulted police or actively resisted arrest. The public doesn’t have to take their word for it; they can decide for themselves with the aid of audio interviews of the arrestees on the media co-op website and videos of the event posted there and elsewhere. Two of the other protesters also say they heard and saw one cop taunting the injured man, calling him “Candy-ass”, etc., in an attempt to get him to attack him - doubtless so that further criminal charges could be laid. The man resisted the temptation, thankfully.
Each protester arrested was told they would not be released until they signed a statement that appears to bind them to “conditions” banning them from every public park in HRM. And most of them say they were not read their rights at the time of arrest; only a few said they were read once they were in custody at the police station. The homeless boys have no idea when and how they will get their belongings back.
I am too tired to continue, but I believe the public would be very dismayed by the full details of the heavy-handed forced eviction of these people – who the mayor so brazenly implied are not part of the general public.
I believe most Haligonians are by now aware that ONS occupiers scrupulously kept their end of the bargain. On Nov. 11, we learned that the mayor never had any intention of honoring his word - which he changed from day to day. I now know that HRM police went much further than that, so that Kyle Buott’s words apply universally.
I hope that residents of Halifax give serious thought to these things before making their minds up about ONS – and about Mayor Peter Kelly.

Why in Hell would an American Citizen ever care,I guess Brindi is on the back burner,Oh than there is the sore finger....Courts will have a field day now...to funny!

The """"EXCUSE""
Now we know why court was delayed poor Frannie on pain meds,well it hasn't slowed her up on twitter I have heard of lame excuses before but that tops the list. With all the monet she has scammed people out of I would think she could hire a taxi;or have a neighbour friend drive her............but oh wait she has no friends in HRM. "Robert Riley When you smash your finger and the doc puts you on pain med it is not a good idea to drive a car from where she lives.And I have driven with her a few times and I would not like to be with her on pain meds.My opinion only."
DELAY,DELAY,DELAY.
Well after waiting over a year for the trial,fran is up to her old tricks, The following message has been posted on FB.
"Robert Riley
Important news everybody: the court for Brindi is postponed until March! What happened is, Francesca had an accident, moving cinderblocks and smashed her finger. She went to the doctor, they told her not to use it for a few days. So she sent the medical report to the judge and asked me to go there this afternoon to ask for an adjournment for her. I guess the HRM lawyer was against adjournment but the judge looked at the paper and said it was acceptable. Francesca is not happy about the new date. The courts are so booked up. If there is another way to get Brindi home sooner, I think she needs a good rest first so she can heal her finger. And she asked me to thank you all for all the support, prayers, and letters. Thank you!""
Now she has a Boo Boo on her finger,however its not enough to keep her off Twitter,interesting. Several of us thought Fran would pull some trick to delay however this is now going beyond all common sense on her part,or is she just plain stupid? Well now, it could be more time to collect more $ who knows with the leach.
There is no way she should of been allowed a delay with a sore finger,now if the cinder block landed on her head that would of been a different story,but a fucking finger?
Its time Dexter and the federal gov,had a serious look at her; the lady is a nut case and should be sent back where she came from ASAP.In fact I will be talking to Dexter this week and you can bet your bippy that I will be asking that he has a serious look at her status to stay in Canada,the woman is a leach on society and should be deported and never be allowed back to pollute our nice province with her Bull Shit.
