Not identified ?
We all know who it REALLY is. 
Isn't it interesting that some get arrested, while others get to play as PM.
Almost like there is a double standard out there.

I have to admit a big bit of petty joy in this happening in Toronto. I quit Twitter for good yesterday, after I got into it with some stuck-up self-righteous types in Vancouver and Toronto who were tweeting crap like "I hope Alberta doesn't embarrass us at the protests". I got swarmed when I pointed out the worst racist attacks recently have actually occurred in Vancouver, where Asian people have been sucker punched and sworn at on buses and in stores by idiots blaming them for COVID. I also pointed out that the real rotten kinds of rednecks are everywhere in this country, including Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal, and aren't the exclusive property of the western provinces. The anti-Alberta haters, and I call them that because that's exactly what they are, a bunch of left-wing haters as vicious as their right-wing counterparts, didn't enjoy hearing facts like that so they gang-attacked me. I didn't like it so I basically gave Twitter the big fuck-you. But that's what it's like to live in Alberta too often. Some Nazi and Klan c**ksuckers have a cross-burning thirty years ago and in the eyes of this "fair" land anyone living here is perpetually guilty for the rest of forever for it. Whatever. Can't be superior without someone to look down on, even if it means demonizing an entire region of this country.
So, yes, I'm not happy that some nitwit showed up in blackface at the rally in Toronto - the fucking moron is lucky to be alive for doing something that mean-spirited and outright stupid in a crowd that size, where the already under-pressure police certainly wouldn't go out of their way to rescue him if he'd been boot-fucked for it because it would make things that much worse and maybe even trigger a riot. But I do feel some spiteful joy in that of all the places for something like that to happen that it did in Toronto. Any place that perpetually sneering and stuck-up and openly contemptuous of us "racists" in Alberta deserves to sit on a tack every once in a while and have their self-righteous "there's no one like that here, only in Alberta" fucking attitude blow up in their faces.
And here's hoping the Toronto PD throw the fucking book at the blackface idiot and hit him up for hate-crimes as well as disturbing the peace. Probably one of Ezra Levant's fucking idiots who fully follows all that toxic swill that gets posted on The Rebel. "The Rebel", my ass.

trudeau's a fucking moron but he didn't wear blackface somewhere where it would get him knocked the fuck out
i think that's why this is a charge of "breaching the peace", because that's exactly what this guy did

So do you agree with this man being arrested?

no, i'd rather he got beaten within an inch of his life.
Ok than!!! Would you be ok with Trudeau getting beaten within an inch of his life for the same offense?

yes.
You're consistent. I'll give you that.

Your talking to someone from a country where they like to execute people 35 years later. Beating them for something they did 20 years ago is fine...

preferably at the moment of offense. people get squimish the longer time passes. but if someone came flying at trudeau today and clocked him, and later claimed their reason was him wearing blackface in 2000, i for one would not be upset about it
you always try this thing here where you appeal to our "canadian nationalism", which you seem to demand be as blind as the american brand. i'm probably not the best person to direct those kinds of questions to

I like your answer. I am not appealing or demanding anything. You prejudge me with your stereotypes of what you think an American is. I was hoping someone other than Thanos would say that the man deserved to be arrested so we could have a debate. You do not think that he should have been arrested. We agree. No debate.
I am all about free speech. I might not like what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it.

i think getting arrested was the safest outcome for him; he'll be fined instead of comatose
free speech is also a mixed bag discussion for me. people seem to think it means a right to a platform from strangers, and i completely disagree. free speech is not a shield
as far as rights, a force that "gives" them can take them away; few in my class can afford the time and hassle of fighting for our rights in legal battle, never mind win such a thing

Is it the governments job to protect people from themselves? Does the government get to violate this mans rights to "save him"? I say no.

If people beat the shit out of him, should they be arrested?
