Three men accused by the Crown of helping lead and coordinate the COVID-19 protest blockade at Coutts, Alta., in 2022 have been found guilty of mischief.

Jurors deliberated for three hours Tuesday night before finding Alex Van Herk, Marco Van Huigenbos, and Gerhard (George) Janzen guilty of one count each of mischief over $5,000.

Gasps of surprise were heard in a courtroom packed with supporters of the trio when the verdict was announced.

Van Herk said he was initially optimistic due to the short time the jury deliberated.

Which demonstrates how out of touch with reality and humanity this individual - and his other accomplices - are.

But it's no surprise since these clowns are anti-science.
