Folk Hero, Perry Dunlop
Editor Every Newspaper Possible Perry Dunlop a Folk Hero Perhaps the very losing of their jobs, causing of family strife and stress or even going to jail for what they see or saw as injustices is what keeps most whistleblowers silent. Perhaps that is the very desire of malicious doers of fraudulent and deviant, even criminal behaviors. They like to hide behind smoke screens and enablers such as weak kneed co-workers and boss's who want to protect issues from public knowledge at all costs.
I think that a lot of what has come to the position Perry finds himself in has evolved as a direct result of just that kind of repugnant but cultist cohesion of clubist's fraternities/mentalities, which have been a normal reaction for all time. Hang the one for the sake of all.
Well, I believe this nation owes Perry a cultist counter reaction. Every able bodied person, children at schools and those that believe in doing the right thing at all costs must write phone and even support Helen and Perry Dunlop in any way they can. This plea is one of mine. I don't know many address's but if you do, follow-up now to your MPP, your MP, any anyone else you can think of that together we can raise such a stink people will begin to realize that though the law is the law and should apply even and equal to all, it really hasn't in this case.
I read a good book lately called Outrage. It was about a guy who kill another. He turned himself in and demanded his punishment. Well, the man he killed had been out on bail after raping and murdering his daughter. Touching story. His wife died of heart failure and he was overwhelmed with pity. Seems the man out on bail had raped another girl but all was thrown out of court because the police forgot to notify his first lawyer of the new charges, so the distraught man felt he had to take things into his own hand. He was prepared to give his life for the sake of others. Finally true justice prevailed and the jury set him free. Yes, the law is the law but prevailing potential harm to others was averted. Perry is such a man.
No one agrees with vigilantism, but we do agree with some wars. To Perry, I believe that his cause was a war and he had no choice but to save what he saw was many other potential victims in the Cornwall activities unless he acted as he did.
Now it is our duty as citizens of this fine country to stand behind him and do our part to see that his injustice is forgiven by the courts. Two wrongs don't make a right but the Project Truth Inquiry here in Cornwall seemed fit in overstepping its bounds by evoking testimony from raped male and female victims only to have all that dredging thrown out of court by another court for overstepping its mandate. It's time for leniency for Perry.
Canada. its time to stand before his sentencing on March 5 in a Toronto court for standing on principle. The good of others at the risk of ourselves is his honor. He needs our anger and support now.

What message are we giving By arresting Perry Dunlop what kind of message are giving to pedophiles? That its OK to hurt children and get away with it? That the citizens of Cornwall are blind and week? That we parents have no right to protect our children, from sexual crimes because the people who did them are priests,cop,lawyers and other people who are suppose to hold a higher standard. Shame on the police force for not backing a true hero.And how much was the judge paid? I hope you have a conscious and it drives you insane. It should be a short trip!!!
