Vice News reports:
People on a mission to arrest cops on behalf of the self-proclaimed “QAnon Queen of Canada” ended up being violently arrested themselves instead. Romana Didulo has built a sizable following out of the QAnon community by convincing people that she’s the true leader of Canada and waging a secret war against the supposed pedophilic cabal of globalist leaders, like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or U.S. President Joe Biden.
On Saturday, she gathered around 30 of her followers in Peterborough, Ontario, to conduct “citizen’s arrests” on members of the Peterborough Police Service for enforcing COVID-19 restrictions, like mask mandates and business closures. But by the end of it, one of her followers had been charged with two counts of assaulting police and a second was facing charges of mischief and resisting arrest.
The CBC reports:
Ontario’s civilian police watchdog is investigating an arrest in Peterborough, Ont., on Saturday that resulted in serious injuries during a QAnon-inspired protest, in what has become another example of far-right conspiracy theories having real-life consequences in Canada.
Protester Timothy Claudio said he was taken into custody after he and others sought to place members of the Peterborough Police Service under citizen’s arrest.
The 55-year-old man, who also attended Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa earlier this year, is now alleging police used excessive force. He said he suffers from a punctured lung and four broken ribs — none of which were, in his words, “part of our plan.”
Didulo last appeared on JMG in December 2021 when she was arrested over death threats against health officials.
She’s also called for killing parents who vaccinate their children and for putting “bullets in the heads” of health workers.
And she tells her followers not to pay their utilities bills because they’re illegal under her “royal decrees.”
The first tweet below is from the town’s mayor. Give all the tweets a minute to fully load for maximum LOL.
People have been asking me to comment on the events of the past weekend in #ptbo. I hate giving airtime/spotlight to these imbeciles. Here is my comment: fuck off, you fuckwads. ??♀️

Romana Didulo and some of her subjects gathered in the hopes of citizen arresting cops this weekend. Two followers were violently arested.
While the event was rather silly—they were thwarted by a locked door—it marks a clear escalation for the group. https://t.co/o2eboquxKi

Things are not going well for Romana Didulo’s supporters outside @PtboPolice station.
It seems cops waited for the herd to thin out and get bolder about accessing restricted areas to move in.
