An update on Peter Watts' boot lesson

Dr. Watts has been bound over for trial by jury:

A March 16 jury trial has been scheduled for a 51-year-old Toronto author charged with assaulting a Customs and Border Protection officer Dec. 8.

Peter Watts’ last chance to plead guilty to a charge of assaulting a police officer is March 5.
The Times Herald: Trial scheduled in Watts case

I would give a great deal to be there for the trial. In fact, if the fates and vacation Gods allow, I might even do that very thing. That way I can experience the trial first hand and then read about it on Boing Boing and other blogs.

It will be interesting to see if we all attend the same trial. That alone is worth the expense and vacation time.

There are three sides to every case. The plaintiff's complaint, the defense response and what really happened.
- Judge Robert. F. Phipps

WOW!!!! You really are a committed idealogue! Would you seriously consider using your vacation time to attend this trial? It will be in Toronto, right? You must be pulling our legs! Then again, maybe not. I think you mentioned that you had attended a Tea Party or two in your own state...You are a man of his convictions, I'll give you that. And that's a good thing, IMO.

You are not keeping up. His trial will be in Port Huron, MI. Toronto has no jurisdiction over US butt kicking ceremonies.

Actually, I am not pulling your leg. I put in for the time off. I'm glad you approve. But I've never been able to bring myself to call the pursuit of what really happened a commitment to an ideology.

Well that's the story of my life. I can't keep up [No pun intended]. My choice of the words "committed idealogue" weren't good ones, I guess. I'll rephrase: You are a man of serious commitment. Anyone who would travel all those miles in order to see justice done is a serious dude. IMO.
