i tossed a few dollars into crackstarter. i'm not sure what happens now, but i'm fine with the money going to charity if and that's a big IF, the video doesnt surface. on reddit they are saying there are 3 copies of the video in circulation. plus, of course, the revelation that the young black guy weh get kill wah day was the original owner of the video, and that's why police was questioning ford's staff in the last few days.

ford may have thought his people "took care" of things, why he was so gloating and arrogant with "there's no video". this aint the end of it.

Yes, the video will eventually surface. They always do. But yes, someone has been threatened and that is why it has been take off the market (for now).

So the Chief of Staff is fired and the Press Secretary and the Deputy Press Secretary resign. Some serious ting a gwaan.

Good point! It certainly could have happened that way.

During his campaign for mayor, Ford vehemently denied a 1999 arrest for marijuana possession in Florida, but he later acknowledged it was true after he was presented with evidence. He pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and failing to give a breath sample to police.

Was Someone Murdered for the Rob Ford Crack Video?




Over Memorial Day, Gawker reached (and even surpassed) its goal of raising $200,000 for the purchase of a cell-phone video showing Toronto mayor Rob Ford smoking crack. In an update yesterday, however, Gawker acknowledged that it had made "no further contact with the people we believe to have custody of this video" since Sunday the 19th, which seems like a bad sign for those of us (everyone in the world minus Rob Ford and his brother) who really would like to see this video.



Meanwhile, in Toronto, **** is getting crazier by the day. According to the Star, "homicide detectives are now investigating whether" the cell phone containing the crack video "originally belonged to 21-year-old [Anthony] Smith," who was gunned down four days before the Star was contacted about the video. Smith (far left) is pictured with Ford in a now-infamous photo provided to Gawker and the Star by the video's peddlers. Muhammad Khattak (far right) was shot in the arm and back in the same incident but survived.



Curiously enough, the investigation seems to have been triggered by a member of Ford's own staff, the Star reports. In the days after the video's existence became public, Ford aide David Price told Ford's chief of staff Mark Towhey that a source had given him the floor and apartment number where the video was being held, and asked him how they should proceed with such information. The implication seemed to be that Price wanted to pursue the video, because Towhey reportedly screamed at one point, "We’re not getting the ****ing thing!” Price also told Towhey "that the video may have been the reason that Anthony Smith, a person pictured in a photo with Ford, was killed." Following these conversations, an alarmed Towhey went to the police, without telling Ford. He was fired on Thursday.



On Friday, Ford said, "I cannot comment on a video that I have never seen or does not exist." On Sunday, Ford said on a call-in radio show, "there's no video."

David Price. The guy who has apparently been with the Fords since their early sideline as alleged hashish suppliers. Check the video at 2:46 in the attached link to see How David Price talks and what he says. Straight out of a gangster movie. And this is the guy who's a trusted insider in the Mayor's office.

“You would never think somebody would adopt a flamingo or a penguin, but people have. So we wanted to make sure that when we prohibited certain species it was all encompassing,” he said.

“I love hedgehogs, that’s why people shouldn’t be hoarding them in their basements. I love kangaroos and penguins, as well. That’s why I don’t want people having them on their apartment balconies.”
