Re:  MooseJawExpress.com January 20/21.  Page A13 – “Local resident harassed over American flag license plate
 
I was shocked and alarmed to read about the incident reported in the above article.  

The narrow-minded, big-mouthed, bigoted, bullying jerk (who seems to be afflicted with “TDS” — “Trump Derangement Syndrome”) who accosted Mr. Schick over his license plate (simply an American flag) is fortunate that Mr. Schick is the mild-mannered gentleman he is.  A “lesser gentleman” may have reacted by forcing the ignorant bully to swallow his words — and his teeth and his tongue!  What if the diminutive Mrs. Schick had been driving the car? How “big” is this bully?

I’m concerned. Did the City Police question this “fine” individual over his actions and at least caution him about what constitutes “common assault” and “threatening” under Canada’s Criminal Code?

If not, why not?  

If this shameful incident had involved a member of one of a couple of the tiny but perpetually-victimized special-interest groups in your “Friendly City” does anyone doubt that a “hate crime” charge would have been laid and the case taken to the Supreme court, if necessary, to get justice and “closure” for the victim (at taxpayers’ expense, of course!)?  Shouldn’t he apologize, at the very least?

Shame!  Moose Jaw, “the Holey City,” in which “holes” of many kinds abound and too many Moose Javians don’t seem to care. What a pity!
 
Yours sincerely, 
E. Scheller
