While I commend the Toronto police for charging these HAMAS loving protestors... I have reservations when it comes to charging people with 'hate crimes'... It's a bit too Orwellian for me.

Why not just arrest them for being the nuisances that they are.

I also get leery when the controlling authority is something with a wonky name like “Public Safety Canada”. That sounds too much like the folks implementing the Reigb of Terror during the French Revolution.

You don’t know the flag… could be the Canadian flag for all we know

Could be the Red Ensign, which was Canada's flag before the Maple Leaf was adopted in the 1960s. Some Canadian nationalists use the Red Ensign.

Not sure I believe Canuck Cops or “journalists” about anything they label “Hate Crimes”, I need to see the exact offending flag before even starting an investigation into the incident.

Muslim with ISIS flag.

I’d bet charges will be dropped.

You know the drill, the go after a few creeps with the law at first and then apply it to thousands of regular citizens. All hate crime laws are nothing but thought crime laws.
