nucklehead Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/syrian-refugees-pepper-sprayed-outside-vancouver-welcome-event-1.3396899 Quote A crowd of refugees attending a welcome event at the Muslim Association of Canada Centre in Vancouver was pepper sprayed by an unknown man on a bicycle. It happened outside the centre on the Kingsway near Victoria Drive around 10:30 p.m. as the event was winding down and the group of newcomers to Canada was waiting for a bus. Seventeen-year-old Nawal Addo was raised in Canada, but was outside with the group at the time of the attack. "We were just standing outside and we all just started coughing and our eyes were burning. We were really confused about what was going on," she said. Ammar Ramadan was inside the building at the time, but soon noticed the chaos outside. "Next thing you know, people are running and screaming, everyone's dashing inside. A bunch of kids were crying. I was a little confused as to what was happening." "A guy at the front actually was, like, his eyes were completely covered, he couldn't see for a whole, like, 20 minutes. Some kids got unconscious because of how strong it was," said Ramadan. "A bunch of women and children, they were all just affected by it." As many as 30 children, women and men were treated for exposure to pepper spray by paramedics and the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fateless Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'd be curious to understand the culprits rationale. The only reason he'd be upset enough to assault a group of Muslims is if he actually believed the terrorist propaganda about them. If that's the case, why would he go anywhere near a group of people he thinks could blow him up? Either way, hope the guy is found and subsequently tarred and feathered on national television.

Neversummer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What a jerk ... hope they find the guy and pepper spray him in the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILL BILL NECRO Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Honestly what does pepper spraying these people really do? They just left a war zone and feared for there lives everyday. Coming to Canada and getting sprayed seems like a nice vacation to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 One slimy d-bag racist just put a black mark on Vancouver. This will probably be reported worldwide. I hope they get that scumbag fast. They should check to see where some of the hate-filled CDC members were at the time. Sounds like something they might do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 As disgusting as this incident is; I have enough faith in Canadians as to believe this incident will only undermine whatever ugly sentiment this idiot was trying to convey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Me, I prefer to wait for some facts or an arrest before reaching a conclusion. Way too much instant reaction, both on the web and in life. I look at it as being similar to a front page story in the newspaper and then 2 weeks later the paper admits it got the story wrong, but prints their apology on page 35. Damage is already done. It could have been a guy off his meds or a fame seeker or, or, or, or, heck it could have been damn near anybody for any reason or no reason at all. Apologies for a bit of a rant but words like- could, might, may, get to me, especially in newcasts and papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's like the Protestants and Catholics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
