If a two men/women or different races argue and fight and racial pleasantries are exchanged, it's chalked up to people being dumb and racist.
If they fight BECAUSE they're of different races, it IS a hate crime. So if you punch and spit on a Muslim because you just hate Muslims, you're gonna get nailed with the extra time.

This isn't "two people fighting" this is one person assaulting another in the middle a grocery store, punching them and spitting on them while the victim was with their child.
SURELY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Allegedly.
We don't have the full story. Let's wait to see if:
1. The story is real. 2. There's evidence the alleged crime took place beyond the word of the alleged victim.
Even if we're talking about a black man assaulting a white man in the middle of a grocery store, it wouldn't even be considered as a hate crime.

Given the state of society today I'm quite sure minor assaults such as this happen quite regularly between any two people in any given city on any given day.
Funny how just a select few make it to being an actual news story, especially when perhaps not the whole story is being reported.

Woman charged with assault after victim wearing hijab punched, spat on in London
Wanna know the name of the 52 year old white male who shot Jo Cox the other day? Wanna hear about his links to the "far right." CNN fell all over themselves to tell me all about it.
I heard this woman had a heavy accent. Native? Lithuanian? Kazbekiwhobajstan? We don't know and the CBC isn't saying. It's a secret.
Just for fun, let's have another look at her.
So if we're going to turn this into an issue is it bigoted to want to know her name and a little bit about her? Get on that will ya Andy if you're wanting to turn this one into the story of the year.
BTW this is all based on claims at this point. I didn't see the word "alleged" in the CP 24 story. They might want to be careful with that.

Yep, this is far more outrageous than the three Muslims who raped a five year old girl in Idaho.
Story number two, however horrible it is, does not take away from the terribleness of story number one. A woman in Ontario is not responsible for the deprivations of three others in Idaho .
But this is not a case of somebody trying to say 2 wrongs makes a who cares.
This is a case of media making a bigger issue of one case over another. It's legitimate to ask ourselves why? Although that particular story may not be the best example, because you can get sidelined in debating the facts in the details. Snopes doubt them, but Snopes is beginning to get a rep for being less than credible themselves.
This might be a better example to illustrate what I'm talking about.
So you have a Christian being attacked by 2 Muslims in Toronto. Where's the media? Where's the law with their charges?
If we're talking 2 tier media and 2 tier justice that's not relativism. I don't think that was the point. To me it's a case of "explain yourselves CBC. Explain yourselves Toronto police."
Why is it a story when a Muslim alleges an "Islamophic" attack, but not a story when we can see on video a Christian street preacher and his cameraman are being attacked. Where are the charges Toronto police?

It's on video for crying out loud. What does it take to to break through a Regressive's protective, Reality mind-shield anyway. This looks like a job for Star Trek.

Why are you so skeptical? The police have arrested the attacker, it happened in the middle of a crowded grocery store, nobody has said anything to suggest the Muslim woman with her 4 month old baby was a willing participant.
You have zero reason to be skeptical. YOU JUST WANT TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE

Yeah but he's right this time, Beave. We don't know why she went off on this woman. Maybe this Muslim woman cut her off in the parking lot or grabbed the last bag of All-Dressed Ruffles or pissed her off for whatever reason. This victim may have been a victim due to her religious attire, but why don't know that yet. That's information we need before we go calling it a hate crime.

Because I'm not like you. I don't rush to judge that everyone charged is automatically guilty. This has nothing to do with religion or race. I've been consistent on this on all subjects.
We have 1/3 of the story here.
We have the story of the alleged victim. We don't have the story from the woman charged, we have no security footage and zero witnesses have come forward. A crowded grocery store yet no reports from any witnesses?
Let's let all the facts come forward before we rush to judgement.

Also note that this seems to be happening more frequently with Muslim woman making up stories about being attacked due to their religion.
It happened recently in NYC when a Muslim woman said she was slashed in the face and called a terrorist. She made up the story.
In Toronto, last November, two Muslim girls said they were assaulted and called terrorists on the TTC. Turns out, there was no assault and it was the Muslim girls who made racial comments at the black kids (called them "monkeys") they claimed to have assaulted them.

You should give them up because there's no need to have them beyond being an item that makes you feel more like a man.
In that case you're welcome to borrow one if you'd ever like to know what that feels like.

For those who said this was made up:
$1:
London, Ont. woman accused in attack on Muslim woman getting mental health treatment: lawyer
But of course she's mentally ill, so that's an excuse. And she's just one bad apple. Unlike when Muslims do something, in which case mental illness means nothing and they represent all Muslims.
