remember, the attacker is the victim
CCTV are literally everywhere. Is it that hard to find and arrest him despite all these cameras?
Just another day in slashcouver so glad I left there
I was there to defend this guy but then I thought I will be arrested and put in jail for defending another person so I stayed quiet.
Welcome to micky mouse Canadian law.
Justin Trudeau fault again and again
Of course people just stand there cowards
I take that bus from that stop all the time since I was a child. There are always junkies hanging out there, sometimes I need to step a few feet away to avoid breathing second hand crack smoke. It got significantly worse in the last 2-3 years.
Sunny ways my friend. Positive politics.
Immigrants again
Trudeaus imports at work again.
No discipline this generation is getting away with it all
every assault is a result of a judge's actions. bail, suspended sentences, far off trial dates. militias are very effective. courts are not. its easy to see how organized crime grows – protection money that actually protects merchants vs police and courts which are useless.
Be aware of surroundings stay away from this area duhhhh
No one helped the guy they just stood and looked at him? GAWD what kind of society does that?
Usual suspect

VPD is an alike gang to those criminal gangs in Vancouver, so what's the point to deal with them
This makes me physically sick. I feel so bad for the victim and I hope he’s ok 😢
You have to wonder what that dude out of doing that.
There are two ways to diminish crime in a statistical area. One is to actually investigate crime and then arrest criminals and aggressively pursue convictions. The other is to simply stop reporting it, which is much more cost effective.
We have lost ourselves in this country, its time to wake up from this woke soft on crime nonsense
After someone gets busted up they always show stats allegedly showing crime is down. I’m sure that’s comforting to the victim.
Catch and release has put Liberals in a position to be sued for every dollar they have…
Why can't Canadians carry firearms?
I hope they caught him… His face is clear on camera.
Crime is down because the courts are not trying to keep up anymore so the stats are skewed.
They said ppl rushed to help, it didn't look like anyone rushed to help him, which is very concerning
cop pretending like they dont know who this guy is is crazy
Welcome to Canada
There's nothing random about this. If you actually watch the video, he's looking to his left repeatedly, saw the kid coming and it's like he was told to do this by someone.
Those numbers are insane but they make it seem like crime down 😭😭
Time for change, maybe put them behind bars, government is to blame, Trudeau needs to GO. POOR JUSTICE SYSTEM ⚖️. ⚖️.
Vancouver, the San Francisco of the North/Canada … and no, that is not a compliment.
Usual Suspect😂
Why can't we employ attractive journalists anymore? Real shame.
This looks like it was gang related like someone paid him to wait for this guy..notice how the victim walks fast to meet someone and the assailant is looking around like he is getting a signal to do something.
Also if the victim was to succefully defended himself and took down the perp and the perp got hurt, the perp and or the vpd can charge and fine you and at worst arrests you for assault, public disturbence, and "Escalation" (that's the usual charge to fine you) by vpd
Vancouver is super violent. That's like saying we only had 20 less knife attacks this year, when there were over 4500 last year. Duh.
The assaulter was probably on drug.
Don't be alarmed it is Trudeau's immigrant upset he can't find a place to live for free.
"rushed"… as they saunter over. Whoever wrote the script barely understood the usage of the words.
Guy's crazy!
When you choose Joker as your king be ready to watch your country becoming a circus 🎪😂🤣
Coward.
Latino contribution to Canada
Remember when Van was the most amazing city in the world…..ya I’m that old!
Guy ran away like an 80 year old man.
