Masked Protester Attacks Man At UofT April 4th

I'm honestly glad the camera man not only caught that but also made sure to intervene and stop it. I understand in some circumstances the best course of action is to stand back and just videotape the event for evidence, but in this case it was nice seeing the cameraman stop the attacker. Too bad that coward had to wear a mask so his identity will be a bit harder to prove (with the video evidence).

Do they realize that wearing all black just makes them look like bad caricatures of 1950's burglars? Plus the level of cowardice they show every time they appear on camera is astounding.

Here's a much better video of what went down. It looks like the older guy initiated contact.

In his defense, the protestor was yelling in his face with a fucking megaphone while brandishing a weapon, and all he did was push the megaphone out of his direction. Can't say I blame him.

This Is a better angle of what went down.

As much as I dislike the protesters, and as much as the masked guy was in the wrong, framing it as:

masked protester "brandisching weapons" attacking man

is bullshit.

It's clear that the masked protester was overly eager to get into a fight, but it was not completely unprovoked.

When the less intelligent have no solid ground to stand on they simply resort to violence, and mob tactics.

To be honest some people just infiltrate protests with the solo purpose of starting to some. It happened a lot during the tuition hike protests in Quebec.

The masked guy didn't even know the slogan, only chanted the last half of it. Some people just get off on confrontation.

This video is horrible. It's unfocused, doesn't even show what happened, and the title itself is misleading. Another post notes that there is a better video of the event.

First off, I'm tired of this "brandishing a weapon" bullshit. It wasn't a weapon, it was a stick. It was a stick that was being used as a noisemaker. A number of the protesters had them.

Secondly, The old man started the whole thing by getting up in the protester's face and trying to smack the megaphone away from him.

Thirdly, this is an incident of tensions running high and somebody getting pissed when another person gets in their face. I don't agree with the protester's message in the slightest, but if we're going to condemn him for his actions, the old man who started the whole thing should be held equally accountable.

This isn't an incident of a feminist attacking an MRA, it's an incident of two hot-headed people losing their tempers.

I know what I'd do if some masked twerp with a stick was screaming in my face. I'd tune them up.

Mr_Rivers · 2013-04-08T10:27:55+00:00

What's funny is, neither the old man or the guy in the mask really initiate any kind of voilent act, yes he pushed the megaphone away but i think i would do if someone was being an asshole like that.

It was a small redheaded woman who decided it would be a good idea to get involved between men twice her size and start pushing an old man and yelling abuse at him that was doing nothing to her.

male privilege

I'm an MRA. The older man was in the wrong and started it. They are not equally to blame. Let's not start acting like feminists and making excuses for problematic conduct when it is directed at our opponents.
