Hi Roosh,
You were barely able to keep your cool. Fortunately, you did. The right of self defense in Canada has been a dead letter now for over 30 years. As hard as it was, walking away was the best option. So, don't get mad, get even. And consider getting bodyguards next time, or travel with a large enough group so you'll be protected if you are attacked by a mob.
Years ago, a very senior Canadian Crown Prosecutor told be that if I ever defend myself in Canada to not get caught or I will get charged regardless of the circumstances. Also, under the Canadian Criminal Code, the definition of a "weapon" is anything used to harm others. So if I hit someone with a banana peel in anger, I have used a "weapon".
Good luck, and I hope the Crown presses charges against that insane, violent, divorced from reality, female nutter.
Bullshit, please explain this article and this and this. I guess your very senior Canadian Crown Prosecutor didn't tell you about the Lucky Moose Law eh?
Scotian,
based on your posting history, I'm going to assume that you're not a troll, or not just trolling today.
The links you sent me prove the point I was making. These men were charged, and had to defend themselves in court. These men were the "lucky" ones as they got off. Often they do not. As many cases as there are where the defendant goes free, there are many more where they did not because defending yourself with any form of vigour in Canada is
against the law.
In the three cases cited, two of them went to court and those two were charged by a female prosecutor - what a surprise.
So argue if you like, but the fact remains that if you defend yourself, you are at risk for being charged. Nice country eh?
For anyone else listening, if you do get charged, hope your QC is an older man (60's+) who is slightly more likely to have some clues in life.
PS: The "Lucky Moose Law" only came into effect in early 2013, and it only covers when you can do a citizens arrest, and nothing to do with self defence.
