VANCOUVER -- Police said they were looking for a suspect after more than a dozen Syrian refugees were pepper sprayed late Friday night in Vancouver.
The attack happened outside the Muslim Association of Canada Centre during a "welcome night" event for newly-arrived Syrian refugees.
City police said a crowd of men, women and children had gathered outside the MAC centre when a man wearing a white-hoodie apparently rode by on a bicycle and sprayed 15 to 30 people.
Witnesses said several of those who were hit started coughing and complaining of burning eyes.
Police said that a number of people were treated on scene, but there was no word of any serious injuries.
Investigators said it was too early to comment on a possible motive for the attack

Well since he put it that way, I guess we should be more tolerant.

Bicycle is actually a good choice for a street murder. At least in L.A., it is pretty common.

They should thank whatever god they believe in that someone didn’t blow them all to bits as they would do to others.

My sympathy meter is broke.
It’s not registering.
Oh, wait.
It’s not broke after all.

You’re both right. If that had been “over there” it would have been KABOOM !! We’re still somewhat civilized, so it’s just pepper spray. But with our new muzzie lovin’ PM and your muzzie lovin’ Mr.-one-year-left, things can and will change.
