“Investigators with the York Regional Police #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau, assisted by the Hate Crime Unit, are seeking three suspects after two people were assaulted and anti-homosexual slurs were uttered in a possible hate-motivated incident in the City of Vaughan. On Saturday, May 6, 2023, at 8:30 pm, a man and woman were accosted by several males outside a liquor store in the area Jane Street and Major Mackenzie Drive West. One of the suspects commented on the male victim’s choice of alcohol and uttered anti-homosexual derogatory slurs as he approached the victim. The female victim stepped between them and was then assaulted.”
“Two more suspects got involved and both victims were assaulted, with the male victim being knocked to the ground. A bystander intervened and the suspects fled in a black Nissan Rogue vehicle with Ontario licence plate CLHL733. The 27-year-old female victim required hospital treatment for her injuries. The 26-year-old male victim suffered minor injuries and did not require medical attention,” says a Tuesday press release from the York, Ontario Regional Police Department.
What it doesn’t mention is that they altercation started when the Maple MAGA scumbags mistakenly thought the couple were buying Bud Light because whatever brand it actually was had a rainbow pattern on the cans, according to CTV News’s report. And yeah, people got hurt and could’ve been killed because of the right wing industrial complex’s bullshit freakout over one goddamned ad.
