All those police because of little old me and thee?

Mark Steyn writes (my bolds):

From my Notes on a show trial, two years ago:

When I arrived at the courthouse, an officer of the BC Sheriff's Department, said because of 'security threats' he'd be sticking by me everywhere I went in the building. I found this rather reassuring for about 90 seconds until it occurred to me he almost certainly meant not that the court had been apprised of security threats against me but that I myself was the security threat.

True. It was the same in Ottawa a couple of months earlier, after Julian Porter, QC had successfully petitioned Judge Hadjis, on behalf of me and my Maclean's colleagues, to reject the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission's absurd contention that there was so much "anger" out there it would be unsafe to hold anything other than a secret trial. So in March, very reluctantly, the Canadian "Human Rights" Tribunal opened up the Marc Lemire trial to members of the media and the public. In an idle moment during the proceedings, I asked the Ottawa police officer standing next to me what he was doing there. I meant that, as the CHRT was a federal body, why was a municipal officer there rather than a Mountie? He explained that, being as how they normally held their trials in secret, they didn't usually need any security. But, having been ordered to open the doors to the likes of me, they'd put in a request for some emergency protection - ie, in case I or Deborah Gyapong suddenly lunged at Judge Hadjis and attempted to shove the Royal Coat of Arms up his keister as a reminder of the travesty of justice his court represents.
