From the looks of it, this is happening just outside city hall in the old port. That is a very tourist area, so I do wonder if this person is from put of town or not.
I said that mostly because we’ve had some recent incidents of people not from here coming to Montréal to do heinous shit like the incel shooter a few months back. I live in a predominantly north african neighbourhood, the support for Palistine here is strong. I’m also part of IJV, an anti Zionist jewish organization who’s largest chapter is here in Montréal. I hate to see my city represented in things like this as it isn’t who we are.
Definitely fair. I’ve donated to IJV! Not sure how big of a community it is around Canada (especially Ontario where it would also be useful), but hope to see them grow more.
Not sure being out of town matters. Guy is still a waste of air. How fragile do you have to be to want to be like this to seem tough.
I know Russia is nothing to aspire to, but at least in Russia the citizens could smack this idiot around for his idiocy and the Police would be like “meh, that’s fair, they solved the civil matter”
Corrupt, arbitrary policing isn’t the flex you think it is.
If you want a law against this stuff, make a law against it, there probably already is one if the laws we have are properly interpreted and enforced. If you want proper enforcement of those laws and accountability for the police to actually follow those laws, then yes, we’re on the same page.
Vigilante justice only happens when your justice system has failed. Tolerance of vigilante justice only happens when your justice system has already failed twice. That’s Russia.
What I was referring to is in Russia it is perfectly legal to settle disputes by fist fights among citizens. No police intervention.
In more Russian absurdity:
Somewhere around 2017 ish, they also legalized hitting your spouse because if you can settle a dispute with a neighbour by fist fights, the same rules should apply to your spouse.

Whether out of town or not, he should be put in jail for hate speech and then investigated further if he should be forwarded to the Hague.
