The question to me is why The Rebel, trustworthy source of impartial and finely nuanced information that it is, so hellbent on portraying everyone as prematurely calling it a hate crime when they didn't, and why are they so upset that no one seems to care any more?
Looks like it was prematurely treated as a 'hate crime' and it turns out it may not have been.
If it's not a hate crime, it's just an assault, which isn't as big a deal. That's why the law treats hate crimes more severely. And that would explain why it fell off the radar of the media and social media.
BTW the intrepid reporter said "police and politicians and media officials have said that a hate crime took place" but contradicts himself later by saying the police aren't investigating it as a hate crime. I also can't find any media outlet that referred to it as a hate crime. He said Ralph Goodale tweeted out that was a hate crime but showed a tweet where he simply called it an attack.

This is the fourth reported event against visible minorities in the city in the past eight months
Muslim groups are condemning the alleged attack. Saleha Khan of the National Council of Canadian Muslims says the string of racially-charged events over the last few months creates a lack of trust among Muslim residents.
"I'm tired, I'm exhausted. I am hurt and I'm disappointed," Khan said. "Part of me doesn't want to give up hope, because if I give up hope, I'll probably curl up and never want to come out in public. You just sort of buckle down and say, OK, I've got more work to do now."
Video says that the suspect is in fact not white.Just cause it was perpetrated by a white person on a minority does not make it a hate crime. Until the circumstances are revealed, I'd hold back on labelling it.
The show is over so mainstream media has walked away. There were a few tweets from MP's and MPP's showing outrage over the incident ( with nothing to go on but mainstream media for info)
Unbiased factbased and researched journalism is dead, its sensationalism and public relations
(disclosure, my son is a newspaper journalist)

Bro, you never know. There might be a bald eagle stuck in a tree that needs rescuing :With rampant hate crime I sure am glad guns are restricted in Canada. We should be proactive and ban assault rifles(black guns).

I did not know that. I mean it makes sense, but when I think of "white" that's not what I think of. Hell, I usually don't consider myself white.That's innacurrate as most arab/light skinned north African people are still classified under the "Caucasian" umbrella.
