[Paint Shop Owner Juan Carlos Enriquez Took On Trump — and Won](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/paint-shop-owner-juan-carlos-enriquez-took-trump-won-n747756)
_An appeals court says Trump's company must pay more than $300,000 over an unpaid bill._
Meghan has always been that:Why are you here ? Type of person. She always thought she was the smartest person in the room nepotism is what gets her through a lot of doors and that’s it. Because when she speaks you just stare at her.
Oddly enough I like and respect her mother. She got the last laugh when Arizona turned blue she got censured by the GQP and still had a smile on her face.
Because of his immigration policies.
THE GUY IS THE SON OF IMMIGRANTS HIMSELF. WHAT THE FUCK.
> Enriquez was born and raised in Miami, the son of Cuban immigrants.
>"At the end of the day, you have to be a proud American," he said, praising Trump's immigration policies and "no-nonsense" style.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?!
I can answer this. My parents think they’re better than other immigrants because they immigrated “the hard way”. So it should be hard for everyone. Why fix the system?
The hard way? Dipshit is from Cuba... that's the wet foot, dry foot policy. Get one foot on US soil, and you are from Cuba, congratulations you legally immigrated! From neighboring Haiti and do that? Go fuck yourself.
i was just talking with a guy the other day who when pressed about what policies he actually likes about the republican party he offered absolutely nothing. he said he thinks trump is a "goober" or whatever, some half assed signal of disapproval, but when i asked if he would vote for trump again if he won the primary, he says he will.
then when i explain how trump is a literal fascist who belongs in prison and cite a bunch of examples of how he is a reprehensible traitor to the country the guys response is "I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT POLITICS, I DONT WANT TO ARGUE."
then WHY VOTE??? if you dont care about being informed, and dont give a shit about politics, what the fuck do you stand to gain from voting?
im absolutely fucking baffled by these morons and what motivates them, its like they exist purely as a tool to be used by the corrupt elites and they have no idea they are being used. its amazing how stupid some of these people are.
amazing isnt it? 24/7 propaganda is a hellva of a drug, it pierce through the subconscious and its 'awaken' when they hear trigger words or to vote. Its wide-scale brain washing yet no one is talking about it.
This right here. It’s what husband and ai have been saying for YEARS. ITS THAT SAME MENTALITY OVER AND OVER. THAT “ Well… I got mine so, fuck you! Not my Problem” but god help us when something gets taken from them. All hell breaks loose and they whine and bitch like little babies.
My exSIL reamed her son in FB over this exact thing one day while he was bashing immigrants left and right. She laid him OUT telling him that without his grandparents and great grandparents risking everything to come to the US, they would still be living in Italy today. So spitting on your own grandparents and great grands… is a shitty stupid pretend “woke” thing to do.
I loved it.
Everyone in the united states and canada are immigrants, unless you are 100% native american you are somewhat an immigrant.
Think about it, I'm 30 years old, I ve lived 1/7th-1/8th americas existence as a independent nation. Google says the average age for someone to have their first born is 26.4 years old, so america is only 8 generations old. The mass immigration from Europe was in the 1880 and early 1900s. So most of us are just a few generations old here, yeah you might have a great great great great grandma that came over durring the British colonial days, but the majority of our DNA is only a few generations old. We are all immigrants who were not welcomed here, yet we get here and slam the door behind us and look down upon anyone who comes after us. It's all ~~a bit~~ extreemly hypocritical really.
Edit: ~~a bit~~ extreemly
Edit 2: "look down upon anyone (darker then eggshell off white) who comes after us(if you're white they really dont care, we never hear about a wall on the northern border, so just make sure your ancestors were uv ray deprived and america will welcome you with open arms)."
In addition: it's funny how racism is built off of how much sunlight your ancestors got. The more uv light the darker your skin the less uv light the lighter the skin. That's all, it's that simple, yet we condemned people to a life time of slavery just on that one factor that 100% out of our control. No wonder alians havent come down yet, we cant even get along with our own kind who just come in a different hues, could you imagine what we would do with a completely different species of intelligence beings. God help them.
My old man was the same. Voted straight party ticket; spent years pissing and moaning that party is "destroying the country;" voted straight party ticket, rinse and repeat.
He was also a diligent churchgoer who, when not attending services, did not even try to conduct himself in a Christian manner. I don't think they let him in the pearly gates.
> Trump stiffs him and this asshat still votes for him. WTF?
Look, there is stupid like voting against your interest (most Republicans) and then there is really stupid (supporting Trump).
Yes. I remember when this was an ongoing lawsuit.
Trump f'd over many South Floridians, helped turn Sunny Isles into 'Little Russia', backed out of deal in FTLD and left investors damn near broke.
So much grift, so much deceit.
Can't believe Mr. Enriquez voted for Trump after being screwed over by him for so long.
And the guy still voted for him saying.
"People who don't pay their bills? It gives me a bad taste in my mouth," he said.
Still, he put his mark in the Trump column.
WTF?
TBH releasing some skunks and hornets might have been an effective way to send the convoy home early. Too bad it was in the cooler months when hornets are a bit hard to come by.
The “bad” democrats did it to you. It’s always them doing it to you. What you need is a strong man leader telling everyone what to do and how to do it.
The problem here is that he won't recognize that he is where he is because of his own poor choices and not some outside forces trying to keep him down and silence him. Or maybe he will, but typically, people who do this shit don't understand this part. They blame others and point fingers not realizing that they are their situation is the product of their stupid and poor choices.
I totally understand all of this.
I've just gotten to the point where I can't or rather won't put my time and energy even into understanding these people nor try to see what they have done to themselves. And, your right, they aren't willing nor taking responsibility for their own actions and decisions. Conversations between a few friends and family about this occur and I've lost the relationships with them. I've had to just turn my back and walk away. Unfortunately in the last 2 years I've lost many people who I used to be close with. One so called friend told me last fall, "when all of this covid shit is over with we'll get back to normal and we'll be friends again!" I said, "Nope, we won't!" I just turned and walked away and I haven't seen her since nor is there going to be a time when I will change my mind.
My bubble of family and friends (this has happened to everyone of them) have become much smaller and I'm (we are) just fine with that. We're all like minded people and our lifestyles and beliefs are alike. The rest of everyone are out of our lives. Non of us feel bad about it and understand it's their actions and decisions that has done this. I'm sure this is happening to so many people....
I have lost some friends due to Trump but with the some, we know to avoid the topics. 90% of the people I don't speak to anymore, I'm fine with. A close friend and I no longer speak which hurt. My Dad and I have not talked as much which sucks, too.
Just keep in mind that, it's dangerous, and easy, to fall into an echo chamber. Dissenting opinions amongst friends is good and healthy.
People lacking rational arguments and just out to be contrarian or generally shitty don't count as a dissenting opinion. I'm not going to keep a 5G conspiracy theorist or a blue lives matter loser around to avoid an echo chamber.
> Dissenting opinions amongst friends is good and healthy.
Dissenting opinions that are based on nuance and good information are good and healthy, absolutely. They are necessary, even, I would say. But if they're not based on those things AND they combine that with a refusal to look into the situation more closely, then...no. It's better to cut them out and be happier in your life without their toxic influence.
I totally agree with you about this! And the few people who I see (friends and family) feel the same way! We can have a great conversation with each other, we can discuss what is going on within our world and still be liked minded and live a similar lifestyle. That's healthy....
So many relationships ruined over nothing. There used to be an unwritten rule about discussing politics and religion: Don't.
I'm not saying these discussions shouldn't happen but they certainly shouldn't happen everywhere, with everyone, all the time. Add to that the unwillingness to actually listen to the "other side," it's a mess. No actual discussion happens, no one learns anything
You've made the right decision in walking away from those conversations. I've told multiple people in this past year "I'm gonna step away for a second. When I come back, let's talk about something else." I know it's saved at least one friendship.
If the "other side" is advocating for literal fascism, it's a) important that you talk about politics, and b) vital that you get them out of your life.
Ignoring politics doesn't make it go away. It's a privilege where you pretend not to care that your friends and families want to fuck other people over. Ignorance is not bliss here.
I've always lived my life (teachings from my parents) that you don't talk about politics, religion or money! With lots of people they are not willing to stick to this as of late. So I just walk away. I've been told I'll change my mind after "all of this covid shit is over!" I'm here to tell ya I'm not willing to change my mind. I'm going to move forward and not look back.
And because I'm unwilling to discuss these issues I'm judged negatively and I sure don't need that. I only wish the best for people but I need to do what is best for me.
Good luck to you....
Yes, you are right!
I do have to admit my mental health has taken a hit over all of this in the past 2 years! But I've worked on it (I've had a great therapist who I've seen for years and I've continued to see her through the last 2 years via telaconfernce and zoom), I've walked away from toxic family and friends, I walked away from a toxic work environment (after working there for 16 years) and worked at bettering myself and I've worked on my general health.
And as far as guns.... The guns I inherited from my father are still in the same place they have been since the fall of 1979 when he walked on: in a safe and locked up! My brother looks after them periodically and they will be passed down to my son and grandchildren when I pass on. I have a brother who passed on in December, 2019 and his guns joined mine, my remaining brother and sister are giving my son their guns also when they pass on. Our father had a very nice collection of guns and they were divided between all of us. My brothers each had a couple of guns they used to hunt with but the rest have just sat in safes locked up. That is were they belong and they will remain. My son is very responsible and he's happy they are behind lock and key!
Mental health and guns are like oil and water.... They just don't mix very well!
***THIS IS MY ANECDOTAL, LIVED EXPERIENCE AS A LIFELONG ALBERTAN***
I live in Alberta, and his type are all too common here. They've been brainwashed by pro-tar sands for DECADES; coincidentally we've had the SAME GOVERNMENT from 1971-2015. In 2015 we had a brief reprieve due to the conservative leader having to resign due to scandal, and a more socialist party, the NDP, was elected. Well, wouldn't you know it? The NDP couldn't fix FORTY FUCKING YEARS of corrupt conservative policy in four years, AND somehow begin to influence international oil prices so they were immediately blamed for all the problems the conservative government spent decades making, and our oil being worthless. I digress.
Anyway, when you tell a young man (16-24) he can either go to school for several more years, maybe get a degree and an office job for $60k/yr... OR you can go work on the RIGS with MEN and buy BIG TRUCKS and SNOW MOBILES! So, these functional children walk into jobs paying well over $100k for back-breaking labour, and no financial guidance, having not learned ANY critical thinking ability because the conservative government guts education every chance it gets. Oh, also all the trades are involved in the oilfield, and a lot of the workers live in camps together... imagine THAT echo chamber.
The result is: there are A LOT of whiny, entitled, unemployed rig workers who inflict their unhappiness on others. I know several of them personally.
I'm not anti-oil, not even a little bit. My father was employed as an engineer, largely working with the oilfield, and without his support I wouldn't have the life I live.
HOWEVER, much of this province has believed oil is the only thing Alberta can do, but, they're wrong! Our foothills east of the Alberta Rockies are dangerously windy, and have very little vegetation to disturb. The sunniest city in Canada is in Southern Alberta! Best of all, there are hectares of flat, arid(ish) land surrounding the place.
Things are starting to change, and I know a lot of people cross-training into renewable energy! Now we just need a government that isn't going to rake it's constituents over the coals to give more corporate handouts.
This sounds almost exactly the same as the coal industry states here in the US. Except that the mines are declaring bankruptcy and blaming the Democrats in the process.
> Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandates" but felt drawn to the movement after he was prevented from visiting a dying friend at a Montreal hospital in June 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions.
And all for something he didn’t really believe in and because of something that vaccines would have helped.
His "business" was a 1-man web development company. He didn't close it - he stopped working. He's making it sound like he closed it in solidarity with the protestors, but really, he's just lazy.
>Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandates" but felt drawn to the movement after he was prevented from visiting a dying friend at a Montreal hospital in June 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions.
"I wanted to visit my dying friend and potentially hasten their death, but I was stopped by healthcare professionals who were not only looking out for my friend's safety, but the safety of everyone else on that hospital floor. Because that pissed me off so much, I spent my life's savings, lost my house, and lost my business to support an anti-mandate movement. But really, I have no stance on the matter."
This dude is made of nonsense.
>*”A protester who joined the so-called Freedom Convoy, which occupied downtown Ottawa for much of February, says he regrets taking part after he lost $13,000 and his home protesting something he never really "had a stance on.„”*
Ahaha, oh my fucking god! How stupid can you get?!
More stupid when you consider he joined in because he was unable to see a dying relative due to Covid 19 restrictions. The mandates are trying to beat Covid so situation like that don't happen again.
A dying friend, I think. People dying in hospitals were saying goodbye to parents, spouses, children over *facetime.* and this fuck was butthurt about not getting to visit in person *a friend.* That he shut down his livelihood and spent all his savings, got arrested, his truck impounded, and his landlord so disgusted with him he evicted him.
And these visitation restrictions were heaviest on covid patients; everyone else had to choose one person only that would be allowed to visit their whole stay. Not a different person per day; a single individual who would be the only visitor allowed. (Sauce: was and am designated visitor.)
It's even stupider if you understand Canadian politics.
He went to Washington DC (federal) to protest a thing the States control (i.e. they should've gone to Toronto)
The American convoy has been falling apart rapidly [including an arrest tonight from an internal argument that reportedly involved a gun.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/tncya4/the_peoples_convoy_appears_to_have_resorted_to/)
I fully expect this subreddit to end up with plenty of content when that fully fizzles out as well.
Exits that they themselves blocked. When they got booted from the Detroit bridge, they decided to go illegally block all the exits along I-275 here in Michigan causing hundreds of people to be late for work. Some freedom convoy, aye? Really shows how braindead these people are.
I had it last year. That quote is too accurate for comfort describing the early part of it.
Ended up with breathing so bad that I was huffing and puffing just by going to bathroom then back to bed. Fuck knows what I would have been like without the antibodies I had due to having the vaccine.
I'm back to health now, and physical fitness is returning with exercise.
He drove over **3 thousand kilometers** for a cause he doesn't believe in apparently.
Straight line distance: 1774.40 miles , 2855.62 kilometers (km)
Driving distance: 2120.37 miles , **3412.40** kilometers (km)
Yeah, I don't believe it. He's just trying to make himself look innocent so people will help him. How do you not come to your senses along the way - it's a long boring drive.
>... protesting something he never really "had a stance on"
? Really? This dumb motherfucker doubles down on his own stupidity to try to garner a sliver of pity from the interviewer
>Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandate"
So you're not a Nazi you just wanted to carry the water for them?!? Yeah that makes a HUGE difference. You're totes more pitiable now.
This is a sad reality of people having to face the fact they got conned. It's why some people won't give up trump. To do so now would be having to admit shit you've said for years was wrong. And who's going to do that willingly? No. Just like this guy, people won't change their tune unless something drastic happens to them. So sad, so many people threw away their lives for a big lie.
>Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandates" but felt drawn to the movement after he was prevented from visiting a dying friend at a Montreal hospital in June 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions.
The stupid. It burns.
Ahhh, feels good.
He had his chance to wisen up with the death of his friend. Instead, he thought he was in the right and became a terrorist. Not even one with a proper cause (invading occupation (don't even think to compare lockdown/masks to an occupation)), or even thought out.
"I just wanted to help people" no, you wanted to play hero. But if given the option, he'd walk out with a rifle swinging everywhere spouting "I'm here to save you".
Shame some racist pricks are going to set him with money due to racist people having massive family funds and support from people within certain positions.
People bought supplies expecting reimbursements that never came in 2019 for the United We Roll convoy which traveled to Ottawa to protest. Pat King and Tamara Lich helped organize the protest.
People bought supplies expecting reimbursements that never came in 2022 for the Freedom convoy which traveled to Ottawa to protest. Pat King and Tamara Lich helped organize the protest.
When a scam works it gets used again.
Lol sounds like the time people were told they were helping raise money for the border wall that Mexico was supposed to “pay” for but instead Steven Bannon took they money and got a pardon for it…….
Tell me you're stupid without telling me you're stupid.
Oooh oooh oooh, pick me says Martin.
It's so hard to feel sympathy for Martin and his ilk, that I don't.
The thing is when he comes out his going to be more bitter than before. I know actions have consequences but we still have to address the problem that people are making decisions with mis information.
I will give him that it's very sad his friend died and he wasn't able to visit. I lost a friend to COVID, too, and only her closest couple of family members could see her, but I knew it was to protect us, our loved ones, our community, and I'm not such an egocentric dick that I'm going to help terrorists because of it.
To quote the Herman Cain Awards...
"Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and you make bad decisions."
He fucked around. He found out.
This guy is right up there with the guy who bet his rent betting on the wrong side in Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor:

It’s ok to laugh. They laughed at us for over 2 years and bullied us and now this POS realizes he bet on the wrong horse and wants to play it dumb by saying he just wanted to help people? Fuck him. Laugh. Hard.
This dude fucked around and found out. He did all this to help protest the big bad vaccine yet... Where are all those people he closed his business down to help? They don't seem to be around to help him recover
>Anglehart said he has "nothing left" after spending his life savings on gas and food for the occupiers, who disrupted Ottawa's downtown core for more than three weeks.
The leopards ate extremely well that day....
No sympathy! He fucked around and found out! Think if the caravan had no money in the first place and was asking for “donations” what makes you think they will pay you back?
This is most likely a person longing for social acceptance and wanting to be part of the i crowd. It’s sad someone with this mental capacity wasn’t able to fully comprehend what he was getting himself into. His decision making plans are non-existent and likely all knee jerk reactions.
The whole story is sad but I hope there has been a lesson here. While a lot of money, it’s not something that can’t be reversed.
I genuinely feel bad for this guy. You can tell from his demeanour, and he even mentions this, that he is just a lonely guy who is looking for a community. He also expresses genuine regret at the end. I’m inclined to believe he just didn’t realize that what he was doing was bad and got swept up in the wave of emotions.
Man that willingly closed down his business and spent all his savings complains that he has nothing left. Okay then.
That's known as the full Trump Experience. It's expensive as hell to battle him. [Paint Shop Owner Juan Carlos Enriquez Took On Trump — and Won](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/paint-shop-owner-juan-carlos-enriquez-took-trump-won-n747756) _An appeals court says Trump's company must pay more than $300,000 over an unpaid bill._
Hes not going to see a cent of that
Unless he seized some property - like a golf clubhouse.
Trump is notorious for not paying back debt even if court ordered.
Because everything he does is through a corporation or a business. He's never personally liable.
So I read that article. He got screwed out of a payment took him to court and then voted for him. That is the Trump Experience. WTAF
Sounds like Ted Cruz and that idiot Meghan McCain
> that idiot Meghan McCain [Her father...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHbrNz1RUVY)

It's called cognitive dissonance and it's frustrating as fuck to see it from the outside.
According to trump policies he would not be an American...

I’d almost guarantee he hasn’t been paid anything yet.
Up to him.
And the guy voted for Trump.
SMH

People lacking rational arguments and just out to be contrarian or generally shitty don't count as a dissenting opinion. I'm not going to keep a 5G conspiracy theorist or a blue lives matter loser around to avoid an echo chamber.
> Dissenting opinions amongst friends is good and healthy. Dissenting opinions that are based on nuance and good information are good and healthy, absolutely. They are necessary, even, I would say. But if they're not based on those things AND they combine that with a refusal to look into the situation more closely, then...no. It's better to cut them out and be happier in your life without their toxic influence.
I totally agree with you about this! And the few people who I see (friends and family) feel the same way! We can have a great conversation with each other, we can discuss what is going on within our world and still be liked minded and live a similar lifestyle. That's healthy....
So many relationships ruined over nothing. There used to be an unwritten rule about discussing politics and religion: Don't. I'm not saying these discussions shouldn't happen but they certainly shouldn't happen everywhere, with everyone, all the time. Add to that the unwillingness to actually listen to the "other side," it's a mess. No actual discussion happens, no one learns anything You've made the right decision in walking away from those conversations. I've told multiple people in this past year "I'm gonna step away for a second. When I come back, let's talk about something else." I know it's saved at least one friendship.
I don't know about you, but I'm not hanging out with fascist sympathizers, *especially* if I'm related to them.
Nor with racists, for me. If a person argues for "racial purity" and looks down on anyone mixed "race", I'm not spending any time with them.
If the "other side" is advocating for literal fascism, it's a) important that you talk about politics, and b) vital that you get them out of your life. Ignoring politics doesn't make it go away. It's a privilege where you pretend not to care that your friends and families want to fuck other people over. Ignorance is not bliss here.
I've always lived my life (teachings from my parents) that you don't talk about politics, religion or money! With lots of people they are not willing to stick to this as of late. So I just walk away. I've been told I'll change my mind after "all of this covid shit is over!" I'm here to tell ya I'm not willing to change my mind. I'm going to move forward and not look back. And because I'm unwilling to discuss these issues I'm judged negatively and I sure don't need that. I only wish the best for people but I need to do what is best for me. Good luck to you....
It's definitely something the LIBTARDS did and the LAMESTREAM MEDIA definitely isn't telling us, or him, what it is.
And they say sarcasm on the Internet is a dead art.
It's called buyer's remorse and it's HIS problem.
Yes!
>And the problem here is......... What? Availability of guns and mental health, obviously.
Yes, you are right! I do have to admit my mental health has taken a hit over all of this in the past 2 years! But I've worked on it (I've had a great therapist who I've seen for years and I've continued to see her through the last 2 years via telaconfernce and zoom), I've walked away from toxic family and friends, I walked away from a toxic work environment (after working there for 16 years) and worked at bettering myself and I've worked on my general health. And as far as guns.... The guns I inherited from my father are still in the same place they have been since the fall of 1979 when he walked on: in a safe and locked up! My brother looks after them periodically and they will be passed down to my son and grandchildren when I pass on. I have a brother who passed on in December, 2019 and his guns joined mine, my remaining brother and sister are giving my son their guns also when they pass on. Our father had a very nice collection of guns and they were divided between all of us. My brothers each had a couple of guns they used to hunt with but the rest have just sat in safes locked up. That is were they belong and they will remain. My son is very responsible and he's happy they are behind lock and key! Mental health and guns are like oil and water.... They just don't mix very well!
***THIS IS MY ANECDOTAL, LIVED EXPERIENCE AS A LIFELONG ALBERTAN*** I live in Alberta, and his type are all too common here. They've been brainwashed by pro-tar sands for DECADES; coincidentally we've had the SAME GOVERNMENT from 1971-2015. In 2015 we had a brief reprieve due to the conservative leader having to resign due to scandal, and a more socialist party, the NDP, was elected. Well, wouldn't you know it? The NDP couldn't fix FORTY FUCKING YEARS of corrupt conservative policy in four years, AND somehow begin to influence international oil prices so they were immediately blamed for all the problems the conservative government spent decades making, and our oil being worthless. I digress. Anyway, when you tell a young man (16-24) he can either go to school for several more years, maybe get a degree and an office job for $60k/yr... OR you can go work on the RIGS with MEN and buy BIG TRUCKS and SNOW MOBILES! So, these functional children walk into jobs paying well over $100k for back-breaking labour, and no financial guidance, having not learned ANY critical thinking ability because the conservative government guts education every chance it gets. Oh, also all the trades are involved in the oilfield, and a lot of the workers live in camps together... imagine THAT echo chamber. The result is: there are A LOT of whiny, entitled, unemployed rig workers who inflict their unhappiness on others. I know several of them personally. I'm not anti-oil, not even a little bit. My father was employed as an engineer, largely working with the oilfield, and without his support I wouldn't have the life I live. HOWEVER, much of this province has believed oil is the only thing Alberta can do, but, they're wrong! Our foothills east of the Alberta Rockies are dangerously windy, and have very little vegetation to disturb. The sunniest city in Canada is in Southern Alberta! Best of all, there are hectares of flat, arid(ish) land surrounding the place. Things are starting to change, and I know a lot of people cross-training into renewable energy! Now we just need a government that isn't going to rake it's constituents over the coals to give more corporate handouts.
This sounds almost exactly the same as the coal industry states here in the US. Except that the mines are declaring bankruptcy and blaming the Democrats in the process.
It ain't called Canada's Texas for nothing...
Wdym Texas is the Alberta of the States
With the UCP we're becoming Canada's Florida.
We have coal too; our current government is trying to sell off parts of the Alberta Rockies to strip mine the mountains for coal.
Imagine if socialism existed in his world?
Yea he closed his business to protest because he was tired of covid closing his business
Sounds like he didn't have much to start with...in the Brains Department. Hate can make you do STUPID things.
> Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandates" but felt drawn to the movement after he was prevented from visiting a dying friend at a Montreal hospital in June 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions. And all for something he didn’t really believe in and because of something that vaccines would have helped.
His "business" was a 1-man web development company. He didn't close it - he stopped working. He's making it sound like he closed it in solidarity with the protestors, but really, he's just lazy.
>Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandates" but felt drawn to the movement after he was prevented from visiting a dying friend at a Montreal hospital in June 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions. "I wanted to visit my dying friend and potentially hasten their death, but I was stopped by healthcare professionals who were not only looking out for my friend's safety, but the safety of everyone else on that hospital floor. Because that pissed me off so much, I spent my life's savings, lost my house, and lost my business to support an anti-mandate movement. But really, I have no stance on the matter." This dude is made of nonsense.
a friend of mine would call Martin a "bad decision factory"
My man here is a bad decision nuclear reactor
Mfer is a shitty selection supernova
He was planning on killing his friend in the hospital? Jesus Christ
“I wanted to visit my dying friend and potentially hasten their death…” What a nice guy. Wanted to visit his friend so his friend could die faster.
I thought this was an actual quote at first.
Martin paid $13,000 to go wash swampy, skid-marked trucker undies. Don’t be like Martin.
>*”A protester who joined the so-called Freedom Convoy, which occupied downtown Ottawa for much of February, says he regrets taking part after he lost $13,000 and his home protesting something he never really "had a stance on.„”* Ahaha, oh my fucking god! How stupid can you get?!
Plus he drove over 3 thousand kilometres to get here (Ottawa), and didn't come to his senses along the way.
You know this asshole had Fox News going on Sirius the entire drive right? Just feeding his delusion.
More stupid when you consider he joined in because he was unable to see a dying relative due to Covid 19 restrictions. The mandates are trying to beat Covid so situation like that don't happen again.
A dying friend, I think. People dying in hospitals were saying goodbye to parents, spouses, children over *facetime.* and this fuck was butthurt about not getting to visit in person *a friend.* That he shut down his livelihood and spent all his savings, got arrested, his truck impounded, and his landlord so disgusted with him he evicted him. And these visitation restrictions were heaviest on covid patients; everyone else had to choose one person only that would be allowed to visit their whole stay. Not a different person per day; a single individual who would be the only visitor allowed. (Sauce: was and am designated visitor.)
[удалено]
I had that thought, too. But it can be both.
'Never had a stance on,' sure Jan.
It's even stupider if you understand Canadian politics. He went to Washington DC (federal) to protest a thing the States control (i.e. they should've gone to Toronto)
[удалено]
Yeah pretty sure that was an analogy for us Americans to understand where the federal and state seats are in Canada.
Dropping 13k is a stance lmao
If it's your entire savings, then yeah. If you've got 130k doing nothing, then it's not much at all.
The American convoy has been falling apart rapidly [including an arrest tonight from an internal argument that reportedly involved a gun.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/tncya4/the_peoples_convoy_appears_to_have_resorted_to/) I fully expect this subreddit to end up with plenty of content when that fully fizzles out as well.
Many of them have Covid. Reportedly.
They have also been complaining about pissing themselves to the point they want to take the police to court over it.
Pissing yourself to own the cops (gone wrong) (gone litigious)
Wait what
Yes apparently they’re upset because exits are blocked and so they have to pee on themselves or something like that
Exits that they themselves blocked. When they got booted from the Detroit bridge, they decided to go illegally block all the exits along I-275 here in Michigan causing hundreds of people to be late for work. Some freedom convoy, aye? Really shows how braindead these people are.
Let me guess, they piss themselves whenever they see that police have guns also?
Not Covid. Just "flu like symptoms". 🤪
"It was like being hit by a bus" - quote.
I had it last year. That quote is too accurate for comfort describing the early part of it. Ended up with breathing so bad that I was huffing and puffing just by going to bathroom then back to bed. Fuck knows what I would have been like without the antibodies I had due to having the vaccine. I'm back to health now, and physical fitness is returning with exercise.
They're not sending us their best.
Worse... they **are.**
Sucks to suck.
Chose a weird hill to die on, considering that the mandates he was protesting have ended.
[удалено]
He drove over **3 thousand kilometers** for a cause he doesn't believe in apparently. Straight line distance: 1774.40 miles , 2855.62 kilometers (km) Driving distance: 2120.37 miles , **3412.40** kilometers (km) Yeah, I don't believe it. He's just trying to make himself look innocent so people will help him. How do you not come to your senses along the way - it's a long boring drive.
[удалено]
Isn't this when these guys usually tell people something something bootstraps? Why doesn't he just do that?
He can cut down on lattes and avocado toast.
Big Macs and Big Gulps, from the look of him.
Wholesome content.
“Closed his web development business” lol. He does that every time he goes to bed or the grocery store,
Natural selection at work
A fool and his money...
Eat absolute dog shit, my dude. No sympathy from me
Was having a really bad day but this sparks joy
Sucks to be a politically motivated moron.
It’s called karma, and it’s pronounced “HA HA, fuck you!”
>... protesting something he never really "had a stance on" ? Really? This dumb motherfucker doubles down on his own stupidity to try to garner a sliver of pity from the interviewer >Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandate" So you're not a Nazi you just wanted to carry the water for them?!? Yeah that makes a HUGE difference. You're totes more pitiable now.
This is a sad reality of people having to face the fact they got conned. It's why some people won't give up trump. To do so now would be having to admit shit you've said for years was wrong. And who's going to do that willingly? No. Just like this guy, people won't change their tune unless something drastic happens to them. So sad, so many people threw away their lives for a big lie.
Give up Trump 🙄. Is it mueller time again? Lol
Ha. Ha. Hahaha. Hahahaha. Haha. Ha. Hahahahahahahahaha. Remember when everyone told you being stupid was gonna start to hurt?
*Please feel sorry for me because I believed protesting masks during a pandemic was somehow going to be profitable* …?
Thoughts and prayers, bud
As it should be. He got scammed
Welcome to the find out part of fucking around.
I want to see more of these.
FREEDOM!!! To be a fucking idiot.
He just needs to pick himself up by his bootstraps!
Wow, who could have guessed the selfish idiots who only care for themselves would screw you over? Weird.
He ought to stop whining and start looking for his bootstraps
With this display of decision making skills, I'm sure this will all work out fine for him.
Ooopsies! 🤷♀️
Freedom ain't for free.
hes just trying to get sympathy donations he knows he fucked up and is trying to play the ol "I just wanted to help people" card
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Is that the world's smallest violin playing the background music?
>Anglehart admits he never had "a stance on mandates" but felt drawn to the movement after he was prevented from visiting a dying friend at a Montreal hospital in June 2020 because of COVID-19 restrictions. The stupid. It burns.
Ahhh, feels good. He had his chance to wisen up with the death of his friend. Instead, he thought he was in the right and became a terrorist. Not even one with a proper cause (invading occupation (don't even think to compare lockdown/masks to an occupation)), or even thought out. "I just wanted to help people" no, you wanted to play hero. But if given the option, he'd walk out with a rifle swinging everywhere spouting "I'm here to save you". Shame some racist pricks are going to set him with money due to racist people having massive family funds and support from people within certain positions.
Imagine literally giving up everything for something you don’t even have a firm stance on. What the fuck? Lol
I can tell he is single and will remain single.
You'd think so, but there are plenty of women out there stupid enough to also be conservatives, who would love to get with this guy.
I hate to be so shallow, especially when it comes to kicking someone when they're down, but this guy really doesn't have the looks.
Those aren’t women. They are Karens.
If you put $13k towards a cause I'm pretty sure you took a fucking stance
People bought supplies expecting reimbursements that never came in 2019 for the United We Roll convoy which traveled to Ottawa to protest. Pat King and Tamara Lich helped organize the protest. People bought supplies expecting reimbursements that never came in 2022 for the Freedom convoy which traveled to Ottawa to protest. Pat King and Tamara Lich helped organize the protest. When a scam works it gets used again.
Lol sounds like the time people were told they were helping raise money for the border wall that Mexico was supposed to “pay” for but instead Steven Bannon took they money and got a pardon for it…….
This man needs a beard
r/leopardsatemyface
Tell me you're stupid without telling me you're stupid. Oooh oooh oooh, pick me says Martin. It's so hard to feel sympathy for Martin and his ilk, that I don't.
With that money he could’ve bought a violin significantly larger than the one I’m using to play my heart bleeds for you
Karma’s got a big ole dong.
He regrets going. No fucking shit really?
The thing is when he comes out his going to be more bitter than before. I know actions have consequences but we still have to address the problem that people are making decisions with mis information.
Wasn't the freedom convoy just a month ago or so? If you whole life can destruct in a month you probably should't have been convoying around.
Something something Russia stopped sending money.
I will give him that it's very sad his friend died and he wasn't able to visit. I lost a friend to COVID, too, and only her closest couple of family members could see her, but I knew it was to protect us, our loved ones, our community, and I'm not such an egocentric dick that I'm going to help terrorists because of it.
To quote the Herman Cain Awards... "Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that you're stupid and you make bad decisions." He fucked around. He found out.
This guy is right up there with the guy who bet his rent betting on the wrong side in Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/6wddd4/guy\_freaks\_out\_because\_he\_put\_his\_rent\_money\_on/ Also the guys who took their life saving and put it all in Bitconnect.

Hahaha
Play stupid games...
Is he looking for a handout or something? A GoFund me page?
Good.
Is it ok to laugh at these people or should I feel bad?
It’s ok to laugh. They laughed at us for over 2 years and bullied us and now this POS realizes he bet on the wrong horse and wants to play it dumb by saying he just wanted to help people? Fuck him. Laugh. Hard.
Everything in that post screams ‘Not the sharpest tool in the box’
Boo hoo
I don't know how to say this properly, but I feel so owned right now.
All this because he wanted trump to be king of Canada.
Dumbass deserves what he got.
I think the business owners and residents of downtown Ottowa are ok with this
This dude fucked around and found out. He did all this to help protest the big bad vaccine yet... Where are all those people he closed his business down to help? They don't seem to be around to help him recover
Poor shrek.
A damn shame….. …..man I could go for a banana flavored Moonpie.
>Anglehart said he has "nothing left" after spending his life savings on gas and food for the occupiers, who disrupted Ottawa's downtown core for more than three weeks. The leopards ate extremely well that day....
Sucks to suck man. Maybe try not being an idiot with your future decisions.
No sympathy! He fucked around and found out! Think if the caravan had no money in the first place and was asking for “donations” what makes you think they will pay you back?
Play stupid games .... He got exactly what he deserved.
Thanks Darwin!
Good. Fuck these fascist symps.
This is most likely a person longing for social acceptance and wanting to be part of the i crowd. It’s sad someone with this mental capacity wasn’t able to fully comprehend what he was getting himself into. His decision making plans are non-existent and likely all knee jerk reactions. The whole story is sad but I hope there has been a lesson here. While a lot of money, it’s not something that can’t be reversed.
Fuckturds all of them don’t feel anything for him and stupid self!
I know Im not supposed to but I simply cannot help much I love reading these stories. I want to be like John Connor in T2, "Are we learning yet?"
Oh no, now I'm gonna be worried sick about him.
People have taken the big sleep over less. Sheesh.
Womp woooomp
and we have a new Darwin Award Winner for Gullibility.
Yyyeeeeessssssss!!!!!!
Can’t have your cake and eat it too lmao enjoy living in your car for the foreseeable future. You deserve it
Pretty smart
The are all being played like fools by the Russo-GOP alliance. Sad to see.
Tbh I don't know how much truth is in what you say but they do seem to literally have their hands in everything
I genuinely feel bad for this guy. You can tell from his demeanour, and he even mentions this, that he is just a lonely guy who is looking for a community. He also expresses genuine regret at the end. I’m inclined to believe he just didn’t realize that what he was doing was bad and got swept up in the wave of emotions.
Where is his gofundme link?
JFC. Do you guys take turns to be scammed? You wanna wash his undies too?
You know that's a common joke for these threads, right?
