Among his lengthy criminal record is a conviction of assault with a weapon from 2013 that Crown argued on Friday is very similar to the 2023 event, where Johnson used his car as a weapon, aiming to hit two men he was angry with, but hit a woman instead, breaking her leg.
Crown noted that since the 2023 incident, Johnson’s violence has continued, with a conviction of assault and obstruction of a police officer in 2025.
This person looks to me more like a threat to the public than anything else.
I wonder how the amount of death threats government officials receive has changed over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if it has been going up.
