      That is disgusting. I hope they each get 10 years in prison, though unfortunately they will probably only get probation.

    3. Before everyone jumps to assumptions, we better wait to hear about their childhood. Wouldn’t want the criminals to suffer…

    4. “Bronwyn Bragg, a professor of geography and environment at the University of Lethbridge, says these types of crimes are typically underreported, with only about one in five making it to police. 
      “It’s really only the most violent crimes, hate crimes, that are actually reported, and even those are likely underreported,” Bragg said.”

      Show this to someone next time they say crime is actually down in Canada.

      Did you know that OSHA wouldn’t even allow Steve-O from Jackass to do the porta potty slingshot with real human poo because it’s too dangerous? They had to use dog poo.

      This is vile.

      That is disgusting and those two poor excuses for human beings need to be held fully accountable and deserve to be locked up.

    7. This crime was horrendous.

      Unrelated:

      “Bronwyn Bragg, a professor of geography and environment at the University of Lethbridge, says these types of crimes are typically underreported, with only about one in five making it to police.”

      Why did they go to a researcher on geography and environment for an expert opinion on hate crimes? They could have gone to somebody with more credentials.

      So disgusting! What’s even worse is on twitter the comments were terrible, saying how the person couldn’t handle a practical joke and deserved it like wth is wrong with people?!

    9. Oh, that’s just shitty, no matter how you cut it.

      Jokes aside, I hope these two guys get the maximum sentence and that the woman gets justice.

    10. This is where the MAGA-style reactionary crap leads. You can see it in Britain right now. Thugs are feeling more emboldened than ever to harass and assault anyone they want: minorities, women, gay people, trans people, whoever.
