Cops Investigate Trump Fan Who Called Child 'Piece of Sh**t Terrorist'

Source: Newsweek

Courtney Brogle 9 hrs ago

Canadian cops are investigating a local Trump supporter after a viral video claims he called a child wearing a hijab a "piece of s**t terrorist."

Surrey Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were alerted to "a disturbing incident" that took place in the Real Canadian Superstore on Monday. According to the police report obtained by The Surrey Now-Leader, racist comments were made toward a nine-year-old wearing a hijab who was shopping with her family.

Footage of the aftermath of the incident went viral on Reddit. The man filming claims to be her father and hones in on two men, one of whom is seen wearing a "Keep America Great" cap. As the camera continues rolling, he later pulls his hood up to cover the hat.

In the video, the father and the Trump supporter go back and forth in a terse verbal argument about the alleged "terrorist" comments. He is heard demanding store employees alert the police as he "wants him arrested."

He (father of the child) is heard demanding store employees alert the police as he "wants him arrested."


Because what is to keep a nutjob like that from following them out into the parking lot and performing "white justice" on them?


SCUM of the Earth, going after a child.

The Surrey RCMP's statement released Tuesday confirmed that the man had been identified. "The investigation is ongoing as officers work on gathering additional evidence, which includes speaking with witnesses and seizing video evidence," they added.

Many on Reddit expressed their disgust for the man's alleged racist words. "Poor girl but also I love how he hides his hat once the attention is on him. Like anyone can see that hat from a mile away," one wrote.

Another confirmed to American viewers that Trump fans also live in Canada: "Dude they literally [wave Trump] flags at [anti-mask] rallies. In Canada. There [are] actually no words to describe the [idiocy] of these people that would really do it justice."

approval, encouragement and it is now part of the loyalty for this movement. Same as Mussolini, same as Hitler. How quickly it sprang to life shows how the embers were still glowing all along, fanned by generations of racists and racist politicians, entertainers, radio and TV hosts, Birchers, neo-Nazis, old Nazis, KKK, etc. Will never understand and will not tolerate it when I see it. FBI Civil Rights Division phone number is with me at all times (202) 307-2767. "Fight Hate" (Southern Poverty Law Center).
