Two women heckle/interrupt comedian. Comedian makes fun of them for being lesbians. Women sue. Comedian ordered to pay $15,000

Throwing water = assault. The comedian should sue

I feel like this is an appropriate reason to discriminate against women. Say if you have a business and you are worried that women will come in and either take your employees or other patrons to court for ridiculous reasons. Why would you want to serve or employ someone with that kind of power who is also that volatile? It would be in your best interest to keep woman as far away from you and your business as possible.

She claims she has PTSD... I'd like to see her try to survive in the middle of an active warzone, perhaps then she would understand what PTSD really is.

Canada sucks.

Lesson learned. Never offend women. They will ruin your life. Butthurt girls win yet again.

If you know anything about the Canadian "Human Rights Tribunal", you know that, in their words, "Truth is not a defense".

as for comedy clubs, they need to ban women from entering. "to provide a safe space for comics".

When asked why she did not simply leave the establishment, instead of staying until the very end of the performance, “she said she didn’t leave because she was too shocked, and that she literally could not get up from the booth,” according to decision documents. As for the water-throwing, “Mr. Earle’s conduct had put Ms. Pardy in a condition where she was unable to immediately formulate a measured, or even rational, response.”

Where I come from, that's called a "sick burn", also known as "getting told".

The first thing I thought when I saw this headline was this better not be America. Canadian's could learn from our 1st Amendment.

"Men, man up!"

"Women, here's $15,000."

Heaven forbid you treat an adult like an adult and make them responsible for their actions. No man would have been able to argue the same defense without being laughed at and shamed

I really, really, really, really hate to say this, but stuff like this makes lesbians the butt of jokes in the gay community. At least this is in a far away, semi fictional land with hornless unicorns.

This came up a few days ago in r/justiceporn....... I promptly unsubscribed. You should have seen the comments. I was disgusted. One "Comedian" said he was a big supporter of free speech.....but not this type of free speech.

zombiejesus1 · 2013-06-24T22:15:09+00:00

B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

This is a thing?

The_smartest_man_evr · 2013-06-25T12:23:14+00:00

For anyone that's interested.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will get me paid.

Big_Man_On_Campus · 2013-06-24T21:28:59+00:00

Le Sigh, Canada.

At some point, lots of people are going to be highly offended daily in the developed world. They'll call it Canada's Glasnost.

sirpsycho3 · 2013-06-24T22:07:21+00:00

God bless America

Mooshaq · 2013-06-24T23:50:01+00:00

Ms. Pardy threw two glasses of water at the comedian and he, in turn, broke her sunglasses.

The couple was...repeatedly interrupting the set with obscenities

Ms. Pardy [screamed] to restaurant patrons that the owner condoned violence against women

Seriously? Also, how has a psychiatrist not been called in yet to say that this shit does not cause PTSD?

Ragnar09 · 2013-06-25T02:01:46+00:00

It annoys me how the west is full of fag lovers.

2013-06-25T03:32:59+00:00

"Human rights tribute"

ahahahahahhaahhahahahaha

rebuildingMyself · 2013-06-25T04:25:44+00:00

Nothing annoys me more than hecklers or people that interrupt the comedian. Those should be escorted out of the premises after a warning.

watersign · 2013-06-25T05:05:04+00:00

fucking ladyboy dikes, hate em!!

Angus_Fraser · 2013-06-25T05:20:20+00:00

Human rights tribunal bashing down freedom of speech. Isn't there a word for that?

TehKazlehoff · 2013-06-25T17:18:23+00:00

As a canadian, the only lasting physical and psychological effect of this that that bitch suffers from is being fucking greedy as fuck. OMG I HECKELED A COMEDIAN AND HE PUT ME IN PLACE, IMA SUE! fuuuuuck that. dont like getting told by the comedian, keep your fucking mouth shut and laugh in the approriate pauses.

Stopher · 2013-06-27T10:53:51+00:00

That is just insane. She doesn't even have to work now. She can just go around to comedy clubs, make out with her gf, and wait for her feelings to be hurt. Could you imagine a guy trying to pull that?

Unicornmayo · 2013-06-24T22:16:29+00:00

Maybe someone should actually read the court decision:

[66] In the next very short while, Mr. Earle, from the stage, using a microphone, and in his capacity as host or master-of-ceremonies of the open mic night, said the following words, directed exclusively at Ms. Pardy, Ms. Broomsgrove, and Ms. Sandor, or words to substantially the same effect:

"Don't mind that inconsiderate dyke table over there. You know lesbians are always ruining it for everybody."

"Do you have a strap-on? You can take your girlfriend home and fuck her in the ass."

"Are you on the rag; is that why you're being such a fucking cunt?"

"Stupid cunts" and "stupid dykes".

[67] These comments were not made in response to any heckling by any of the women. Rather they were a response, generally, to the noise associated with their being moved by Zesty staff from the patio to booth 3 and asked if they wished to order drinks. Mr. Earle's words were a response, specifically, to seeing Ms. Broomsgrove kiss Ms. Pardy.

...

[71] Shortly after Ms. Pardy threw the first glass of water at Mr. Earle, Mr. Earle returned to the stage to finish introducing Mr. Wolfe, and said the following words, directed exclusively at Ms. Pardy, Ms. Broomsgrove, and Ms. Sandor, or words to substantially the same effect:

"Thanks for ruining the evening, fucking dykes”,

"You're a fat ugly cunt. No man will fuck you; that's why you're a dyke. You fat cunt."

"Do you want to be a man; is that why you're such a fucking asshole?"

"Somebody shut her up. Put a cock in her mouth and shut her the fuck up."

Decision:

[357] I have concluded that the Human Rights Tribunal was correct in holding on the facts before it that the derogatory comments and conduct of Mr. Earle at the club constituted discrimination as that term is used in the Human Rights Code. The decision of the Tribunal correctly balanced the severity of any interference with the Charter protection of freedom of expression against the statutory objectives of the Human Rights Code.
