“Patriotic Kenny Finally Gets What’s Coming – Common Sense Prevails!”

Well folks, I guess common sense ain’t so common anymore, but at least today it won. You all know Kenny – the guy with the giant “F*CK TRUDEAU” flag on his lifted diesel truck? Yeah, that Kenny. The same one who’s been revving his engine outside the local library every Saturday at 8 AM, blasting “God Save the King” on a broken speaker.

Yesterday, Kenny decided to “patriotically” park his truck perpendicular across two handicap spots at the local Tim Hortons. Blocked the entire ramp. When a veteran in a wheelchair asked him to move, Kenny shouted something about “sovereignty” and “taking back our country.” The veteran? Just smiled and called the bylaw officer.

Bylaw showed up. Kenny started yelling about “freedom” and “my rights.” The officer? Didn’t even touch his ticket book. Just pointed to the new city bylaw – effective Jan 1 – that bans idling vehicles in commercial parking lots for more than 3 minutes. Kenny’s truck? Still running. Diesel. Clouds of black smoke.

Kenny got a $450 ticket. Then the tow truck showed up. While they winched his truck, Kenny tried to film a “live” for his 12 followers, but dropped his phone in a puddle. The veteran helped him pick it up. Kenny screamed, “Don’t touch me!” The veteran just laughed and said, “Thought you were a patriot? Patriots help each other.”

Kenny is currently at home, posting angry rants about “tyranny.” Meanwhile, the rest of us are enjoying a quiet Saturday.
