Two LGBTQ+ women are seeking justice after a group of men violently assaulted them over the weekend.
Should be a one-way ticket back to Syria. I immigrated here from America seven years ago, blend in seamlessly with the populace, and I still wouldn't fuck with a Canadian in fear of being deported (I'm also not an asshole). It's an absolute privilege to be here and I love this country. It's crazy to me that anyone else would have the opportunity to come here and then squander it by beating the shit out of a peaceful lesbian couple who are trying to enjoy their night. How incredibly brazen.
Where did it mention Syria?
From a different article;
She said the group appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent, possibly from Syria, and estimated they were aged 18-25.

It's not comfortable but stories like this are exactly why the right is gaining popularity and if the left continues to pretend not to see them and act like this then of course people aren't going to take us seriously.
We need articles to give us facts and talking heads to explain what's being done and what the big plan is to make sure that letting in large quantities of immigrants in doesn't have negative consequences for regular people.
If we act like we've never heard of such things while they are listing distressing examples then the average undecided is going to be swayed their way. As an idealist I wish the world had no boarders, we don't live in that world and i cant force the.world into it by ignoring reality. all the European countries going right have the same big reason for the shift, we can't go on pretending that if we ignore people's concerns and real problems that everyone else will ignore them too.
If you track down the original posts by the victims they have more details about the attack.
Ah, I saw this posted in two seperate places, and the first instance stated they were from Syria. I thought this was the same article.
You shouldn't face special punishments just because you're an immigrant.
This anti-immigration dogwhistling needs to stop. It's unbecoming for people who aren't members of the alt-right.
I mean it's the whole tolerant paradox right. Why should we tolerate absolute douche nozzles to stay? To make things clear I absolutely despise the far right rise going on in Europe, and speaking from a Swedish perspective I feel part of it started with the rise of the right wing Swedish Democrats. But a big reason they got so much air time is because they were the only ones who talked about immigration at all, so they could entirely steer the conversation. Had the other parties actually come up with reasonable polices around immigration in the first place I don't think SD would be as popular as they are now.
I'm a first gen immigrants to the US from Iraq. Immigrants should 100% face consequences for their actions. Immigration is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. People who chose to move to Canada or whatever country have to respect the laws, culture, and customs of the country they're moving to. If they're not willing to assimilate or integrate then you get stuff like this. These types of attacks aren't normal and we shouldn't normalize them like you're doing here by trying to coddle these people or give them special treatment because of their backgrounds. If their hateful because their culture or religion is hateful then we have to call them and take steps to ensure that we don't have that hate spread here. If an immigrant commits a heinous crime, like these homophobes did, and they don't have citizenship then they HAVE TO get deported. Otherwise there's no law, order, justice, or accountability. Basically countries like Canada would be no more.
Unsurprising. A group of Syrian men pepper sprayed my daughters LGBT flag and lit my porch on fire trying to burn it. Police couldn't find them, because they lived 2 apartment buildings down. Luckily it was absolutely soaked so I kept it up for 2 more years burned and scarred.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
You didn't have cameras?
Fascism will keep rising if the people do not put pressure on the liberals to enact proportional representation.
Cowards and vermins
If we do not pressure the liberals to pass portional representation as 40 members of the liberal party supported advancing the idea in Bill M-86 then Pierre Poilievre will win a majority government and he will suspend the charter of rights of freedom to get his way no matter what. I also notice the conservative premier are promising to do the same.
Be cautious with these kind of articles specially when we are close to elections. I personally dont recognize the source of this article, I have no idea if is a serious reliable source and I have no idea if the story is true.
Remember that there are foreign troll farms trying to create divisiveness in western countries posting ragebait articles from the left and the right, creating fake accounts on both sides saying outrageous things.
Im sorry if this is a real story, but we need to be cautious.
That's a good point.
It's simple: if you don't like it, move on with your life.
And I'm a queer Moroccan. It's illegal to be queer here. I bet most Moroccans are coming after me now.
Live and let live.
Exactly.
religion of peace
You're being downvoted, but you're absolutely correct. Anyone who defends islam either knows nothing about it or is a muslim who's trying to muddy the reality.
Technically, every religion has it's extremists. Blaming the religion robs these assholes of agency; they'd be like this if they were athiests.
Maybe, some people are for sure born assholes and are destined to go into middle management. Religious indoctrination can turn 100% of people into intolerant assholes because it is a 'sin' to do otherwise.
