Police north of Toronto say the man who allegedly brought a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian protest outside of a synagogue in Thornhill, Ont. and fired it last weekend was partly motivated by hate.
If you get in an argument with your neighbour and put a framing nail into him, that’s assault. If you put that nail into protected minority and it can be proven that you were motivated by bigotry and a desire to subjugate that minority, you are guilty of a hate crime, which is a much more serious crime
Wow, that’s surprising. Usually it’s not hate when I’m looking to nail something.
