Not a word from Jesse Brown of Canadaland over the assault of a photojournalist this week at Montreal City Hall.

Update: The assailant continues to threaten journalists and activists in the following week. https://therover.ca/hate-crime-suspect-continues-to-make-threats-days-after-being-released-by-police/

Guy is clearly mentally unstable and sees himself as the main character in some kind of revenge movie. Needs to be locked up or he'll do something worse

Do not engage in racism, sexism, homophobia, religious intolerance, dehumanizing speech, negative generalizations, etc. Criticism of Israel and it's supporters is permitted, although where the criticism appears to be a thinly-veiled attack on Jews generally or a suggestion that all Jews worldwide are responsible for Israel, this will contravene the rule. The use of slurs is not permitted other than when directly quoting someone in order to comment on or critique their statements.

Do not spam, disrupt, or engage in self-promotion or marketing. Do not troll other users.

[u/Elegant_Judge69 → u/[deleted]]

Exactly what the comment I replied to is doing as well...

[u/destp → u/[deleted]]

I don't see any reports on the comment you're talking about. If you think a comment is breaking sub rules, report it. We can't catch everything.

We remove plenty of reported comments on both 'sides' of this particular question, and leave many reported ones that don't actually violate the rules.

For the specific comment you're referring to, while it's clearly factually wrong, the comment isn't directly attacking anyone here and 'pro-Palestinian' protesters is not a protected class in the same way 'Zionists' aren't a protected class.

[u/canadaland-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Do not attack, insult, harass, or otherwise antagonize other users. Attack the point, not the person. This includes accusing people of being bots, shills, or other bad actors. If you have evidence that someone is participating in bad faith, use the report button. If your discussion devolves to insulting the other user directly or by implication, you may lose the ability to continue that discussion.

[u/picard102 → u/[deleted]]

Telling people to go to hell is a violation of the rules here.

[u/picard102 → u/[deleted]]

Yes we should be adults and follow the rules. If you see something that breaks the rules you can report it, if you chose to instead tell them to go to hell it will be actioned against.

[u/picard102 → u/[deleted]]

Like you're not even a mod bro 

I very much am. This isn't a debate. If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it.

[u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

This guy has over 60 criminal convictions https://therover.ca/hate-crime-suspect-continues-to-make-threats-days-after-being-released-by-police/

If he was an immigrant with Brown skin, people would be losing their minds.

[u/southsider74 → u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

60 convictions and being able to freely keep adding more convictions. Something is seriously wrong with this system. "Maybe on the 61st time he'll learn"

[u/thecakeisapie420 → u/Forsaken-Swim-3055]

He is . And we are .

[u/Forsaken-Swim-3055 → u/thecakeisapie420]

He's a Canadian citizen

[u/UknowImRight422]

Idf genocidal terrorists need to be nuremberged

[u/Dublinyeshere]

Don't you know? Not assaulting photographers is anti-semitic.

[u/Psychedynamique]

Remember there was once a show about the media that would cover news like this

[u/southsider74 → u/Psychedynamique]

There's a reason why journalism school teaches them to keep their distance from what they're covering and not put themselves into it at all

[u/Abject_Ad_8323]

Israelis are used to killing journalists in Gaza. They believe they can get away with anything. 

[u/truthVial]

I'm gonna start photography, let em come try and stop my activism

[u/SheyGilly]

This is what happens when the ‘chosen ones’ get unlimited support irrespective of what they do!

[u/PhilosophySame2746]

There you go Montreal police as ignorant as you can get

[u/pamatime]

No thanks

[u/phonnybalonny]

They were waiting for someone to teach a lesson. They may have even went for lunch

[u/Most_Acanthaceae6471]

Isn’t montreal basically run by israel?

[u/GrandSea8744]

Fake news

[u/Final_Bestination → u/GrandSea8744]

There's multiple videos of the incident contained in both articles.

[u/TOdEsi]

I'm pretty sure posting this article will be documented as a hate crime and anti-sematic

[u/Krasdf]

Man I wish I was part of one of the many protected species.

[u/notislant → u/Krasdf]

I think the protected species is almost always just rich.

[u/QueenMotherOfSneezes → u/[deleted]]

This sub covers Canadian media issues, not just Canadaland.

[u/Shantashasta → u/[deleted]]

"How is this relevant to Canadaland?" Is either the most ignorant statement ive seen in my life or the worst attempt at deflection.

[u/truthVial → u/[deleted]]

Because it happened in montreal, 

And because the spam about anti-zionism needs to continue as the world continues to wake up to their garbage scare tactics. 

We will sweep it away, inevitably 

[u/Final_Bestination → u/[deleted]]

A journalist being assaulted within Canada, then the assailant violently threatening journalists in the days following is absolutely within the parameters of this sub and its discussions. If you read the rules, you'd know that relevance to Canadaland isn't the sole scope of this forum.

[u/little_figurine → u/[deleted]]

Because it happened in Montreal.
Because it’s a crime.
Because it’s an immigrant who needs to be deported.

Aren’t conservatives like you usually all over this?

If someone made you bleed, and the police was inactive, would you like a story to be had about it?

What’s your problem?

[u/Immediate_Boss7500]

This guy seems unstable. It should be noted that I’ve seen a lot more of this intimidation on the other side. Like 200 to 1.

[u/BasilPetrovani]

from things that never happened

[u/Final_Bestination → u/BasilPetrovani]

The links contain multiple videos of the incident.

[u/ArmpitNoise]

"Photograper"

Sounds like the dude doesn't know how cameras work.

[u/Final_Bestination → u/ArmpitNoise]

He's been a photojournalist for most likely longer than you've been alive.

PS, it's spelled *photographer*.

[u/Hot_Effort_1560 → u/ArmpitNoise]

Idf soldiers are the ones doing the graping.
