This is the same city that charged a man for drawing a swastika in gravel with a pressure washer.

Attack and harass a random woman and her two daughters in public, traumatizing them. Proudly admit on camera that you are a racist and you face no legal consequences. Draw a stupid symbol and you're charged with one count of offence motivated by hatred.

Attacking

The video is in your article...

He's a racist asshole, but he didn't "attack" anyone, which is why there wasn't a crime and the victim even agrees:

According to Al-Azem, the victim in this week's incident is confident the police have taken all necessary steps. She hopes to see the perpetrator face some repercussions for his actions, whether that includes municipal infractions, or consequences at his place of work.

"There is a criminal threshold, but there are other thresholds that we expect people to engage in as part of the social fabric of our community," Al-Azem said.

Your title is so wrong I'm curious if it's intentionally wrong....
