Vernon Beck Hamilton Courthouse firebombed today: Insiders at Hamilton Court House contacted Canada Court Watch minutes after it happened to advise us that an angry citizen pulled up in front of the Hamilton Courthouse and poured gasoline on the front of the court and set it on fire. The person was upset about one of the judges and some lawyers. We don't have any details yet as to who was arrested, but we expect some news by tomorrow will be released. Damage to the court was minimal as the court is made of stone.

Addendum: Two days later it is clear the press is ignoring the story.

Fire Bomb at the Hamilton, Ontario courthouse
Photo taken after firebombing at Hamiton, Ontario Courthouse: A citizen stands at the spot in front of the Hamilton courthouse shorty after a man poured gasoline ablaze at the front of the main courthouse doors. According to persons at the scene the citizen who did this was upset with a judge and with a lawyer. Most likely he got screwed by the court. Only damage that can be see is the melted garbage receptacle and the black on the stone steps. According to persons at the court a man was arrested and taken away.
For some strange reason, this story was not reported in the local media. It is rumored that this story was kept from the mainstream press to help avoid copycat incidents.
