Commentary
Writer David Menzies of the Toronto Sun writes of an episode that happened to he and his 9-year-old son, Sean, experienced this past Sunday at Toronto's version of Times Square (but probably much cleaner), Yonge-Dundas Square.
I'll give just a quick run down of the Menzies article (you can read his entire article here).
But long story short, he was at Yonge-Dundas Square with his son, munching on pizza and snapping a few photos with his new Canon camera.
With the lightening quickness of a Ninja (no pun intended), a woman wearing a hijab ran towards father and son, screaming "We are Muslim! You do not take pictures of us!"
From Menzies's article;
I informed the lady I was in a public square in a democracy. I can actually take pictures of whomever I please.
And then: Ka-pow! Her fist collided with my face. Worse, she almost knocked my new camera from my hands.
My son and I were then surrounded by a mob of about 20 people, many of whom were speaking Arabic. One kept demanding I surrender my camera to him.
It was surreal. Was I in Toronto — or Riyadh?
Well folks... it went from surreal to absurd.
To Serve And Protect?
As Menzies relates, he spotted a handful of bicycle mounted policemen nearby, and proceeded to beat feet directly to them.
He gave a rundown of what happened and said he wanted to press charges. Even a couple in their mid-50's who stated they were originally from Syria, witnessed the entire attack, and then backed up Menzies's story.
Personal opinion here - but I'll bet that couple was either Melkite Rite Catholics or Syrian Orthodox Christians.
But I digress, take a wild guess what happened.
You guessed it. Nothing was done. The hijab-clad hitter was set free. No charges filed.
Rust Never Sleeps
As I just wrote about concerning what liberals have done do the Canadian Navy, looks like the same is being done to its citizenry.
