I love the old "Go back to...." line. Where does this woman think her ancestors immigrated from? Red Deer?

Amazing that you decide to nitpick on this point considering the content of the video.

He's allowed to videotape her.

You're right. Just like people are allowed to videotape cops.

Still doesn't make it any less stupid.

Sadly there are a lot of these racists around that never really express themselves but its painfully obvious to someone dealing with them.
That would be quite a battle. The racist versus the guy who thinks it's fine to put his hands on a woman.

Yep, if a woman shoves me I'll shove her back at least. You sound like a sexist.

Bro, the whities think us Arabs are abusive towards women. You're comments aren't helping. They're gonna ask us to go back to where we came from soon.

If defending yourself from racists who assault you make you abusive to women then call me abuyousef!

It's probably true they're both going to get punched in the head at some point in the future.

I hate the whole "I'm going to film you and put you on the internet because I'm not big boy enough to deal with the situation myself."

Lady's a knob. But she wasn't doing anything overly horrible and dude starts filming her.

Yeah yeah, I get that dogs should be on leash near a path, but at least she's picking up her dog's fecal matter. What did the dogs do to upset the guy so much? Maybe the guy is an annoying prick that harasses her dogs all the time. She's a knob for saying that - but some people say stupid things when they get flustered.

He's a tool for doing the "I'm going to film you" thing. Grow up.

Nobody is going to understand this, but what the hell:



I don't think I would have hit the bitch, but I would have probably used some overly abusive language towards her. None of this "Oh.... did you just use a racist remark towards me for asking you kindly to put your dog on a leash? Woah, woah.... did you just push me? Did you just push me?"

The guy filming her is a tool. But so is she.

Everyone has a smartphone now a days... People should just assume they're being filmed while out in public.

So if someone is filming me, do I have the right to grab their phone or camera and punt it into the woods?

If someone posts a video clip of me on youtube without my permission, what are my rights there?

Because when I'm out murdering hobo's I want to make sure it doesn't get on no youtube.

That must of have been traumatic...did you seek counseling. Too bad you didn't have your bear spray.

It doesn't count when you're white.

Sure, this lady might be second generation Canadian, and the guy filming might be fourth generation Canadian. But he's not white. I think it says somewhere in the book that if there is conflict, the non-white person must go back to their country, not the other way around. It's the rules man.
