WATCH: White man goes bonkers after spotting a Muslim family in public -- and threatens to kill them

A white man is under investigation by police after a video of him screaming at a Muslim family and berating them for being in his region went viral.

The Toronto Star on Thursday reported that a spokesperson for the city said the incident, which took place at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal with security provided by the city of Toronto, is under review.

Spokesperson Jane Arbour told the Star that the city is “reviewing the incident and the staff response to ensure we are doing everything possible to provide safe, welcoming spaces for residents and visitors,” and that “racism, harassment and assault are not acceptable in our parks and public spaces.”

The video, which appeared to have been recorded Monday, went viral earlier this week and shows an older white man being aggressive towards a Muslim family. At one point, he told them “you don’t ask me a question in my f*cking province,” and later when they’re speaking to a security guard, yells that he will “f*cking kill” them. He also appears to shove one of the men in the family, who responds by pushing him away.

Enough is enough...these rump idiots need to be clamped down on, put in jail if need be, for trampling on the rights of their fellow citizens and/or threatening harm to them.

The public face of this most un-Canadian phenomenon: Canadian fascism.



Randy, Doug and the late Rob Ford: Very good at exploiting Ontarian resentment, and despite appearances, not to be underestimated.

Did he die from drugs or alcohol? Can't remember. Made an ass of himself a few times.

Rob, however (the one in the middle), is the one that died from a crack overdose, yes.

How anyone can bring themselves to vote for such people - least of all in Canada - is beyond me. But that's the power of resentment.

I've often thought the same about Cheeto, Crisco, and LePage (among other Republicans).

Most of today's GOP figures are like the Baron on the inside, even when they're not on the outside.

But behind the Baron, as Paul Artriedes pointed out, is always the Emperor(s).

She was probably just trying to keep anyone from being harmed until backup arrived.

Probably trained to speak first to the sober/reasonable-acting people first in order to assess the situation first, absent anyones health being in danger.

Had the Trumpist been armed, I'm sure she'd have acted differently.

What kind of impression did this leave on them? Article doesn't say if he walked away, or was charged with assault. I'd like to know what the question was he keeps railing about.

I'm surprised at this in Ontario too. Spent a week there once, really nice.

a story on the muslim trauma centre head Dr., a woman, who did three surgeries back to back on the victims and managed to save all the patients sent to her trauma centre. That is more like stories we are getting in our news. This loser in the clip is not indicative of Canada.
