ARA Thugs Attack Paul Fromm’s place – Page 2 – This Just In

From a very recent email from Paul Fromm. Paul Fromm's Home Attacked by ARA Goons PORT CREDIT. About 25 members of the violent "anti-racist" ARA attacked Paul Fromm's townhouse in the quiet historic community of Port Credit at 2:00 this afternoon. The police failed to keep them entirely off condo property, as the law requires, but did stop them about 100 feet from his door. Marching under the flag of communist Cuba, they shouted: "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, out, out, out!" "Nazi Klan Go Hand In Hand" and "Die Nazi Scum!" Many startled neighbours came out to see the spectacle. Many of the thugs wore bandannas and ski masks. Peel Region Police squad cars, bicycle police and cops on foot and eventually six members of the mounted union kept them at bay. The police foolishly let them park in the parking lot of a small mall with a health club out back of Fromm's townhouse. The terrorists then tried to get at the back yard, but were restrained by a fence, Fromm's 20 supporters and eventually the police. White Nationalists, old and young, converged from across Southern Ontario to help protect Mr. Fromm. Prominent among the protesters was Shane Ruttle Martinez who is to be a witness in a Canadian Human Rights complaint against the B.C. White Pride website later this fall. Martinez ran in the January federal election for the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). One of the ARA protesters held aloft a poster proclaiming: "Thanks Richard Warman for the bus rental." The Ottawa lawyer and chronic human rights complaint filer -- 20 and climbing -- addressed the ARA in the summer of 2005. His speech about tactics marked him as a guru to these streets brawlers. His talk was entitled "Maximum Disruption: Shutting Down the Neo-Nazis by (Almost) Any Means Necessary." He praised the ARA for their demonstrations, many of them violent, against publisher Ernst Zundel in the 1990s. The ARA had distributed posters showing how to make a molotov cocktail and giving Mr. Zundel's address. The German historical revisionist's home was firebombed on May 8, 1995. Paul Fromm has been a prominent foe of Warman's. Mr. Fromm has defended several of Warman's victims in Canadian Human Rights tribunals, where Warman has complained about the victims' political views expressed over the Internet. In the recent Terry Tremaine case in Ottawa, Fromm's incisive cross examination exposed Warman as less than forthcoming and a witness with a porous memory. The Tribunal chairman Michel Doucet rebuked Warman on several occasion for failure to disclose key information to the defence. Relying on a lengthy affidavit by Warman. the Canadian Human Rights Commission sought unsuccessfully to remove Mr. Fromm as Mr. Tremaine's agent or defence. The Commission has threatened to try to remove the renowned free speech crusader from the upcoming challenge to the constitutionality of the Internet censorship law which is being challenged in the Marc Lemire case. The foul mouthed protesters vowed: "We will be back" and "We will burn you out." Officers on the scene said these were not criminal threats. Shane Ruttle Martinez falsely charged that Melissa Guille of the Canadian Heritage Alliance had had a Downe's Syndrome child and proclaimed that "White Nationalists kill babies that are not perfect." "The policing left a lot to be desired," said Fromm. "I met with Const. Darlene Smith of the Peel Regional Police intelligence squad on August 14. I explained the vulnerabilities of the property and insisted that the mob be kept off condominium property and the private parking in the strip mall out back. Instead, the police allowed the ARA goons onto the condo and to park their bus in the mall. They should have been kept back several hundred yards." The ARA handed out a libellous leaflet mentioning Mr. Fromm's exact address and charging: "Fromm is a prominent neo-Nazi leader -- the primary one for all Canada." The ARA has a long history of violence. In 1993, the smashed windows and threw excrement into the East End Toronto home of activist Gary Schipper. They have assaulted peaceful free speech protesters during and after demonstrations demanding the release of political prisoner. They have attacked political meetings and smashed doors and windows. After Officer Todd Baylis was murdered by a Jamaican drug dealer illegally in Canada, the ARA hailed the killing as a blow against the police. There was no damage to property, no injuries and no arrest. See CAFE and CFIRC additional info.

Protesters target neo-Nazi's home
Cops follow as busload heads to Mississauga to holler slogans
By NATALIE PONA, TORONTO SUN August 20, 2006

MISSISSAUGA -- School bus driver Corina Godson never expected she'd spend her weekend driving a load of radicals to protest outside the home of a man with neo-Nazi links.

"I've already called my boss. I'm not impressed," said Godson, as she smoked under a strip mall awning later. "Any sign of violence and I'm leaving without them."

Godson watched as about 25 members of Anti-Racist Action (ARA) Toronto milled around the mall's parking lot, off South Service Rd. near the QEW.

The group rented the bus -- using the name Youth Against Violence, Godson said -- and drove to Mississauga from the Christie Pits, where they had gathered yesterday afternoon to mark the 63rd anniversary of the Christie Pits riots, a massive brawl sparked by anti-Semitism.

ARA members, some wearing camouflage jackets, others covering their faces with scarves, refused to disclose where they were headed, forcing dozens of Toronto Police to follow them through the city and down the QEW. Some officers wore riot gear, while others loaded up their bikes and horses and joined the caravan.

Peel Police joined Toronto cops once the small group arrived outside the home of Paul Fromm, a former Mississauga teacher fired for participating in meetings and conferences sponsored by those who support white supremacist and anti-Semitic views. He has ties to the neo-Nazi movement and is a vocal supporter of infamous Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel.

After police removed protesters from Fromm's townhouse property, ARA members gathered in a parking lot behind his home to shouted slogans.

"Show us your Aryan gonads," one man yelled.

Another led a chant of, "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, out, out, out."

Police officers, including some stationed in Fromm's backyard, gathered to monitor the situation.

Fromm and several house guests watched the protest from the yard, snapping pictures of the demonstrators.

Fromm, who described himself as a civil libertarian and not a neo-Nazi, insisted he is simply a defender of free speech.

"Who's involved in hate this afternoon?" he asked, adding officers warned him that he may be an ARA target. "They do have a right to protest but they don't have a right to protest on private property."
