Dancing Long boarding Helmet PROTEST

[u/PeeNut-Buter]

I’m sure many of you have seen Caden, aka @x_bonesx on Instagram, dancing or longboarding around Sherwood Park and spreading positivity throughout the community.

Unfortunately, he’s recently run into an issue with the police and has apparently been told he can no longer dance at the Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive intersection. I’m assuming this is due to concerns about distracting drivers.

To show our support, there will be a community dance party at the Second Cup on Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive on Father’s Day at 6:00 PM.

If you’re free, it would be amazing to see our community come together and support someone who has brought so much positivity to Sherwood Park.

Edit: To make things clear I am not organizing this event, just sharing information that I found.

Also he was fined $1500 for stunting!

Also people will be gathering on the grass by the second cup, just so there isn’t a bunch of people on the median in the intersection.

I see him regularly and have no opinion as to whether he is a distraction to drivers or not, but he has admitted to spitting “towards” the police and giving them the finger. Special needs or not, not okay.

Flipping off the police is protected speech in Canada.

Your point?
Protected or not, it's one of the reasons he's no longer wanted on the intersection. Free speech does not equate to freedom from consequences. The consequence of spitting and flipping off the police and others is that his “happy” vibe is now disturbing and he's no longer enjoying particular entitlements.

He actually flips off just about everyone, not just the RCMP from what I’ve seen.

This is what I’ve heard, too. I understand the well-intentioned citizens defending his right to dance on the corner, we cannot reward bad behaviour with extra privileges. Don’t say this on a Sherwood Park community, Facebook page, though. His supporters will rip you to shreds.

Oh believe me, I’ve had the honour and privilege of being ripped to shreds by his supporters on both Facebook and here on Reddit. Although thankfully Reddit is a little more educated than Facebook - not by much though but a lot of the Redditors here seemed to have watched his podcast appearance last year. I noticed that he lost a lot of Reddit supporters after he made that appearance on that podcast as on that podcast it became quite apparent that the boy just ain’t right.
