A 41-year-old Hamilton man is under arrest and is facing hate crime charges following an incident aboard a public transit bus earlier in the week.
Police say a video posted online shows a man making transphobic and homophobic slurs towards two unknown people on a Hamilton Street Railway bus on August 1. He then goes on to direct several other racial slurs to other passengers as he leaves the bus in the area of Gage Park at the Lawrence Road entrance.
Police said they were made aware of the social media post through an online reporting tool by a third party in another province as well as a local media outlet.
Christopher Pretula from Hamilton is facing charges of assault and uttering threats. The Hate Crime Unit has also applied to have this classified as a hate crime offence because of the perception the victims belong to an identified group.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and are asking for any additional witnesses who may have recordings or information to get in touch with them.
Shades of Orwell's 1984...
Canada has no first smendment. Democrats here want to make sure we don’t either.
Wow...O Canada. you are headed for communism real fast. I don’t like racial slurs towards anyone but sticks and stones and all that! People are going to offend but be the bigger person and let it go.
In Canada pastors get arrested for reading the Bible.
Ha! I’m not surprised. Hamilton is the armpit of Ontario, and that’s pretty bad. I was born and raised in Hamilton and now live about a half hour south, in rural Ontario.
Hamilton is your typical lunch bucket town....they vote very left and the city looks like it. Toronto ships many of their street people into Hamilton and the province gives Hamilton extra money to keep them. May as well keep all the riff raff in one place.
Yes, Canada going uber socialist/communist under Trudeau.
They can read the Bible.....just don’t try preaching parts of it. Romans 1 is a good example.
Don’t know what was said. Did it raise to the level of criminal harassment? Freedom of speech is not the freedom to threaten.
Yeah
We are rapidly entering a period of spiritual darkness.
The principalities and powers are preparing the world 🌎🌍 for Satan’s anti-messiah.
The Bible will eventually be outlawed. Possessing one will be a crime, eventually.
Well, socialism is the path to communism one vote/step at a time. It’s what the Canucks seem to desire because they have been walking the path for decades.
I am surprised they haven’t outlawed The Bible up here already.
Probably will coincide with the arrival/debut of Satan’s anti-messiah.
Both he and the False Prophet won’t want anybody checking anything against Scripture.
I saw on Youtube a sermon from a guy that was sharing an interpretation of the first horseman with a bow, that the bow was actually a word used for “rainbow”, and not a war bow that shoots arrows. I dunno. I didn’t look into it further myself not having the original Greek anymore.
The first rider will conquer.
Satan’s anti-messiah, IMHO.
The other three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse quickly follow.
And it is the Lamb Himself, Jesus Christ, loosening the seals.
God bless you
