A lesbian couple was brutally beaten by group of men in Halifax. Police still haven't filed charges

for those who haven't read the woman's FB post, here is a clip:

"..were attacked on Saturday night by a group of 7-10+ middle eastern men, believed to be from Syria, aged 18-25"

Canada has a lot of issues at this moment, stemming in part from increased immigration in the last 3 years (causing housing issues, etc). This sort of event, "brown people beating up white women" could be a dangerous racial catalyst.

I hope this gets dealt with as a single incident, but given current affairs, I am not optimistic.

Violent people should be brought to justice, this is unacceptable.

There are many Muslim or Islamic immigrants who live in Western countries just fine, what happened here? Many Muslim and Islamic immigrants are LGBT+.

The root cause of the issue in this incident should be examined, and if all else fails violent immigrants should be deported.

atheism is the answer. until we as a whole reject religion, these incidents will be recurring.

Is it weird that I’m impressed by how minor their injuries are?

A significantly broken nose can be life altering, especially if it’s too swollen to set right away, don’t get me wrong, but they both walked away.

If I was in a fight with multiple men and I ended up on the ground, I don’t think I’m walking away. I say that as a 178cm woman who’s stronger than most.

“A group of men walking on the other direction made a comment to me. My girlfriend, Tori, said ‘hey that’s my girlfriend,'" MacLean told CTVNews. “They continued walking and Tori followed them to basically say: ‘That is not OK’.”

Don't ever do this, no matter who you are.

I'd encourage LGBTQ folk to relocate to western and northern Europe. It ain't perfect, but you're very unlikely to get the shit kicked out of you.

Remember incidents like these are a direct result from republican politics.

The thugs are being enabled by the politicians.

Edit: I thought Halifax is in the USA.

It's too bad that happened, and I dunno if I'm victim blaming or whatever... But the one girl followed the group and said that's not ok. Yeah she called them out, but there's consequences to stuff like that. Either way hope they catch those pricks

have books become too heavy for men?

Pigs being pigs in klanada, what a shocker
