Evelyn says one protester got into the storytime room in the library and began filming, prompting officers to ask them to leave the event, which was intended for children.

I mean, let them.

They’re looking for some gotcha. Some horrible thing that’s happening at these events, like a strip show or indoctrination.

They’re going to have a video of wholesome storytelling to show their gang of misfits.

protesters carrying signs yelled insults at people entering the North Kamloops Library

was arrested for trespass and mischief after refusing to leave

Yeah, no. Don't let them. These people aren't there just to film and their belligerent presence makes the whole thing uncomfortable for everyone else. Fuck these people, they don't deserve any amount of goodwill. Good on the RCMP for doing the bare minimum.

Unfortunately, the odds are that instead of just filming quietly they will antagonize the situation by stating shit and that is why they were removed.
