Oh my god this thread though.

What do you mean?

First - the horrible attacks on innocent people. I can't imagine being attacked just because someone ASSUMES they know me based on my religion or attire or looks.

Second - moreso the attitude of some that they have it better here than "over there" which makes it sound like they shouldn't be complaining about the attacks. Gross.

What an embarrassment these cowards attacking innocent people are to me and my country. Pepper spraying a group of men, women and children? Attacking women picking up their children? Now security is being considered for people attending various functions - in Canada? Seriously, it came to this?

The perpetrators of these crimes strike me as having the same foolish/idiotic radicalized mindset as members of you know who - I see no difference. Different scale, same outlook.

Jmo.

'This isn't who we are': Trudeau condemns pepper-spray attack on Syrian refugees

Nawal Addo said she was standing outside with the refugees, who were waiting for a bus back to their hotel, when suddenly everyone began to cough and feel their eyes burning.

"We saw people coming out from the building and they were in worse condition than us," she said. "Their eyes were really puffed up. They weren't able to open their eyes."

"I hope it wasn't a hate crime. You never know, maybe it was just a nut case that was going around. But if it was, then I'll just say that Canadians should know better."

Vancouver Police Chief Const. Adam Palmer said a number of sections within the department were assisting with the investigation, including a hate crimes detective and a Muslim liaison officer.

He said the suspect on the bicycle was wearing a white or grey hooded sweatshirt and had a slim build. Police are canvassing the area for video and physical evidence and interviewing witnesses and victims. Police made no arrest on Saturday.
