Pat King, having not slept, says it's go time on Thursday morning and that the police are getting ready to move in. After praying, King drives down the street screaming out the window at people to wake up. He urges truckers to honk their horns continously to warn the others. The injunction that makes it an arrestable offense to honk truck horns is still in effect.
Like earlier on Thursday morning, King states that the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) has no jurisdiction in Ottawa. That is untrue - following the resignation this week of Ottawa's Police Chief Peter Sloly, the OPP and RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) have been put in charge. This fact has been widely reported by credible media outlets.
Later on Thursday, convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were arrested. Daniel Bulford, who spoke in convoy press conferences as part of the security team, later turned himself in for arrest.
On Friday, Pat King was arrested on several charges while doing a live stream from a vehicle.
Barber was granted bail late Friday afternoon. He was released on $100,000 bond, and some of the conditions reportedly include leaving town and regularly checking in as to his whereabouts. Barber cannot publicly endorse the convoy or have any contact with other organizers. He was quoted as saying, "My organizing days are done. I just want to go home".
Lich is awaiting a bail hearing on Saturday.
