I read the CBC article and I'm a bit confused.
They didn't list a race so I'm assuming that this was one of those Nazis everyone are talking about these days.
One of the nicest elderly Jewish entertainers (to ever leave Canada's tax system once he was making money) just gets assaulted out of the blue, completely unprovoked for no reason whatsoever apart from he was walking down the street.
This wasn't a robbery, nothing was stolen. This was an outright assault, from the video I'm not even sure Rick Moranis saw the guy coming, it was an outright sucker-punch and it could have easily killed him.
This was a naked hate crime from a goddamn Nazi.
It's a bloody shame we're allowing this shit as a society. I hope they find the Hitler-worshipping bastard and throw him in their worst prison.
