On Tuesday police released a picture of the suspect, asking for the public's help in identifying her. News of the incident sparked outrage on social media and cast London into national headlines. After receiving multiple tips about the suspect’s identity and whereabouts through public efforts, police charged a 38-year-old woman. She was arrested at 10 p.m. Tuesday night. http://www.lfpress.com/2016/06/22/london-police-arrest-38-year-old-woman-after-grocery-store-attack-on-hijab-wearing-muslim-woman Sad - this is not the attention Canada wants or needs.

On this point, you and I must agree to disagree! I think that its highly likely that she would have ill feelings towards Muslims. I'll be looking forward to observing her day in court! Back in the 70s I had neighbors who were refugee's from Iraq! They were Christian and driven from their home by the Muslims. I became close to this family and spent many occasions watching CFL games in their home. A younger brother, a man in his early 20s and single, lived with these neighbors. When news of a Muslim leader was to visit California, the young man was dispatched by their community to assassinate him. The assassination was carried out and the assassin was apprehended. He was found to be guilty and sent to prison. He served his time and was then deported back to Canada, when released. I mention this in order to make my point, that these refugee's bring their hatred with them and who is to say how this could or would be manifested!

We are not vigilantes - we have courts of law to give out punishments. That is the way of the wild west and of uncivilized countries. Edited by Darcie, Jun 28 2016, 02:29 PM.

Skeptic Posts: 31,154 Group: Member Member #714 Joined: March 30, 2010	Well, speaking a foreign language means nothing, I have a granddaughter who speaks German, one grandson who speaks Polish and another granddaughter who speaks Spanish. All are born in Canada. Many Canadians who are born here speak other languages.

Sure they do, but generally speaking I would wager if you are muttering about something you were angry about it would be in your home language.

My point was that the police aren't telling us everything so the court of public opinion have decided the attack was unprovoked. The attack shouldn't have happened, but we don't know what caused it. I don't trust the media anymore to give a full account, just a story that sells.

If we are told by the powers that be that a certain group is committing atrocities (stealing christian babies for secret religious rituals) and committing usury by lending us money for interest or whatever else we might be afraid of we do become fearful whether there is cause or not. We start persecuting innocents in order to protect ourselves. Never forget to look back at what happened to the German people prior to WW2. We can always be duped into fear, can't we. Time has proven that repeatedly. And Trump is proving it again in the US now.

It looks like there is another side to the story but it's not for public consumption right now I guess. It would be interesting to see the surveillance video. http://www.torontosun.com/2016/06/27/remember-theres-two-sides-to-a-story Edited by friendshipgal, Jun 29 2016, 04:54 AM.

There was no court publication ban so the reporter had no problem getting her name. It appears that the media has dropped the story because it doesn’t fit into their narrative.

Anyone who want to bring their illegal habits to this country should be sent back there where they can be themselves to their hearts content. She is still irrational and hateful, this woman and her baby did nothing to her. It is as I thought it was, she is carrying her baggage with her which has to relationship to current facts.
