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.

That’s kinda the point, he faces no consequences. More of his islamophobic cousins and friends get emboldened.

He faced some consequences: the 2 women, police check, and exposure he probably didn't want.

(His car apparently runs on water.)

Swastika isn’t a hateful symbol either IMHO. Indigenous people of North America, European pagans and South Asians were drawing it long before nazis took it. They even called it a “cross” not Swastika.

Anyway, you’re of the opinion that harassing a random muslim family is ill mannered at best. I think that’s bullshit double standards.

Not necessarily. Is he harassing them? Is he threatening them? Call the police.

Most people carry phones with cameras, as these people apparently did. Maybe get his license number.

Arresting people for drawing an ancient symbol while ignoring proud racists harassing a muslim family for existing. That’s literally how you build fkd up shithole societies.

agreed.
