To write that the anti-racist rallies in both Calgary and Vancouver were wildly successful would be an understatement. So successful where they that very few boneheads actually showed up to try and counter the anti-racists. We here in the Collective hope that these events, held peacefully, will continue far into the future.

The boneheads, on the other hand, are just a little bit shell shocked. Only a handful even bothered to show up; these include one who was arrested for assault and one was removed from the scene by police in Calgary, and only one known racist showed up in Vancouver, though he seemingly made a point of not bringing attention to himself. Concerning the Vancouver march, this post pretty much sums up the reaction from the bonehead crowd:

Hell, it almost seems despondent. Perhaps someone needs to be placed on a suicide watch?

However, there were two interesting characters who showed up. In Calgary, one lone male was seen sitting near the anti-racists holding the following sign:

A small, and rather tame, example of Mike's pride:

The Province also spoke to one anonymous man who conveyed white supremacist views and was seen videotaping anti-racist protesters, without making his views known to the anti-racists.

Now, who do we know who currently lives in Vancouver who, when residing in the United States, used to videotape anti-racist rallies or other similar events? And who is living in Vancouver because he had been expelled by the Lithuanian authorities during the summer?

Our suspicions were confirmed when several readers independently confirmed that Craig Cobb was at the event filming the anti-racists.

Interesting, don't you think? Also interesting that Cobb, who likes to antagonize the subjects of his films, chose to keep his mouth shut.
