Syrian refugees pepper sprayed outside Vancouver welcome event

Quote:
 
A crowd of refugees attending a welcome event at the Muslim Association of Canada Centre in Vancouver was pepper sprayed by an unknown man on a bicycle.

It happened outside the centre on the Kingsway near Victoria Drive around 10:30 p.m. as the event was winding down and the group of newcomers to Canada was waiting for a bus.

"A guy at the front actually was, like, his eyes were completely covered, he couldn't see for a whole, like, 20 minutes. Some kids got unconscious because of how strong it was," said Ramadan. "A bunch of women and children, they were all just affected by it."

As many as 30 children, women and men were treated for exposure to pepper spray by paramedics and the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service.

The "Welcome Night" was put on for newly arriving Syrian families and included local politicians.

When caught I think he should be given the same medicine on a weekly basis during the time of his incarceration.

Makes me ashamed of this Canadian and others who similarly have cold heart.
