If that is true, Payman's little sister and her friend should watch their backs

Together with everything else that's gone down, you'd think RoFo would stay away from Sandro.
That's why the two meeting at Steak Queen is confusing.

Interesting. Psychologists (armchair or otherwise) will have a field day with this little titbit!

Wouldn't there also have to be conspiracy charges? If he had Lisi go out and do his dirty work, that's conspiracy, no? Even if he only said, "Do whatever you think you need to to find that video.." he'd be responsible for the beating etc., as I understand it. He doesn't seem like he did very much solo here.
As for the Richmond Hill comedy night: yet more proof that they mayoral campaign is just a means to an end as a 21st-Century tabloid celebrity. His message (such as it is) is increasingly focused outside Toronto and less on policy (to the extent "subways!" and "the gravy train" qualify). He's just getting his face out there, hoping there's going to be a new season of the Surreal Life.

If this is the case, we just have to keep repeating in stark terms what this situation really is. So much gets lost in RoFo's weird cult of personality. Take him out of the equation:
The mayor of the 4th largest city in North America used his office to sanction threats of violence, and possibly actual violence, to suppress a political scandal. The mayor of the 4th largest city in North America used his office to sanction threats of violence, and possibly commit actual violence, to suppress a political scandal.
If any mayor besides this apparently lovable schlub had done that, he'd have been dragged out of office by now. We have to stop lowering the bar for him. It's at the point where so long as he's spotted in public sober and isn't committing a homicide right this second, he's doing okay.

Would they? I mean, is it not common for low-level types to want to ingratiate themselves with influential people?
And for influential people to want a few "friends in low places".

If it was just that, you're probably right. But Jimmi T's description goes beyond that sort of behaviour. I dunno, just feels ........"abnormal". Maybe it's just me.

Perhaps a more interesting study would be why we elect such people.
I think I know the answer: "He promised to save us a dollar on our taxes!"

It's the grown up version of getting in van with someone who offers you a popsicle. Frightening.

A CTV guy just asked RoFo in the parade if he was drinking last night... because we have footage of you drunk at city hall. [WOW]
