In a shocking incident that has left the community reeling, a lesbian couple celebrating a birthday in downtown Halifax, Canada, was brutally beaten by a group of men after being subjected to homophobic slurs. The terrifying scene, captured on video, shows the couple surrounded by nearly a dozen men, with one woman lying on the ground while the other struggles to break free from one of the attackers.

 

The assault occurred on June 22, when Emma MacLean and her girlfriend Tori Hogan were out celebrating Emma's birthday. The couple encountered a group of men who allegedly made rude comments about their sexuality. MacLean described the men as "Middle Eastern" and said they are "believed to be from Syria."

 

 

Tori, upset by the slur, confronted the men, saying, "Hey, watch your mouth, that's my girlfriend." However, her attempt to stand up for Emma quickly escalated into violence. Around 1:30 a.m., the group of approximately ten men began beating Tori. Emma recounted the horrifying events to CTV News, describing how Tori was pushed onto cement stairs and then surrounded and attacked. "I see Tori being pushed on the stairs right in front of the BMO Centre, and they are cement stairs, and she's on her back—that's when all the men started punching and kicking them," Emma said.

 

 

Despite Emma's attempts to intervene by yelling at the men to stop, they continued their assault on Tori. Emma described how she eventually tried to protect her girlfriend by physically restraining one of the attackers. "All at once they all just swarmed her and started punching and kicking her in the ribs. Then I kind of got into my fight or flight," Emma told Saltwire. She explained that she "basically jumped on one of their backs and put them in a chokehold—trying to restrain them."

 

 

Witnesses captured videos showing some of the men kicking at one of the women on the ground while the other struggled to break free. By the time police were alerted and arrived on the scene, the fight had already ended. Officers spoke with one of the men involved, who blamed the fight on the two women. While he provided his ID, the other men refused to cooperate or identify themselves, according to Emma.

 

Halifax Regional Police are still investigating the incident, and no charges have been brought against the attackers. Emma and Tori believe the assailants are between 18 and 24 years old. Emma said police are hoping to obtain CCTV footage, but existing videos taken by witnesses clearly show the men "beating up two girls."

 

The assault left both women with injuries. Tori suffered bruises on her arm and under her eye, while Emma was left with a chipped tooth, a broken nose, and bruises. Recounting the incident, Emma said, "I felt punches and kicks and then I felt it on my nose and there was blood." Despite her training in mixed martial arts, Emma opted to try and restrain one of the attackers rather than throw punches. "I put them in a chokehold," she said, recalling how both she and the man fell to the ground before she let go after "being manhandled."

 

The attack has left Emma and Tori shaken and terrified to return to downtown Halifax. Emma expressed her heartbreak over the incident, especially during Pride Month. "Now people will be terrified to hold their partner's hand walking down the street. It’s just a major setback," she told Saltwire. She believes they were targeted due to their sexuality, noting that one of the men told Tori, "You wish you had a dick." Emma added, "Clearly, they picked her out—she's a more masculine-presenting lady than I am, so I think they thought they had the go ahead—she was fair game for them."

 

Emma shared photos of the men from the night of the attack and pleaded for anyone with information or video footage to come forward. Halifax Regional Police issued a statement emphasizing their commitment to taking incidents "motivated by hate toward a specific group very seriously." They encouraged anyone exposed to offensive, threatening, or intimidating behavior to report it, stating, "Even if the investigation does not find criminal wrongdoing in that specific incident, it is important to have it on record as part of the collective effort to identify trends and prevent violence."

Nothing like some cultural enrichment to add spice to a night of gayness 

The shoes and haircuts tell it all.. 

Edited July 3, 20242 yr by RT555

It rather sounds as if the police are not going to do anything - good old cultural contest to be considered no doubt!

The ever hateful and terroristic muslims vs the perverts... coming to your country soon... 

Looks like they won’t be participating in the LBTGQXYZ for Hamas protests anymore.

The news left out that during the attack the lesbians were shouting “But we support Palestine” .

It's these these type of moronic comments that make me dislike conservatives almost as much as liberals. I guess at least it is honest.

So you actually think these members of the lbtgqxyz community will continue to participate in the pro hamas protests?

 

Your username was appropriately chosen, honestly.

So lets hear it from the Libs.

Whose shoes and haircuts and what do they tell?

Hate crimes are not something to be celebrated. Tolerance of people with alternative lifestyles is. Love is love. Who cares? 

 

I have long though that as a form of social assimilation, Muslim families with teen daughters should be required to have her participate in bikini contests. Unwilling. OK, no assimilation. We will take that into account on your application.

Haven't you got a Presidential campaign to attend to Donald? 

Just young muslims practicing their evil culture before moving to Rotherham UK

Jezus Crist, what an ignorant answer. I am about as right wing as they come and have nothing but sympathy for the victims here. It doesn't matter in the slightest who they are dating, why they were celebrating, or what they were wearing. Two innocent young women were set upon by a pack of dogs for no reason whatsoever.  The police need to prioritize this, find the perps, jail them, and then deport them. If for some God forsaken reason they are already citizens, revoke their status.

That's funny .

But , really , they should ( have ) set up a psychological test for the young arab men wanting to immigrate ...

They come from countries with different values , and often have no desire to integrate into the social structure of their host country .

Too late now ...

thats a very sad story and a step backwards for humanity.

 

people indoctrinated with their religious beliefs and acting violently on it is sad stuff, especially immigrants in a western country

 

what a messed up story

Lock 'em up! 

Diversity is what makes a nation great.

this has received very little coverage here in canada. in fact this is the first i am hearing about this news. even it happened june 22nd it was never a headline on google news when i browsed each day.

I know, that is quite sad.  I guess the racial composition of the victims and the criminals does not fit the accepted narrative. I can only imagine the coverage if, for example, two Muslim girls wearing hijabs were assaulted by a gang of white guys.  

 

But this story puts the government and the policy on immigration in an embarrassing light, so it is buried.  Shows where the groups each rank in the Progressive Victimhood Table of Anger.  Muslims rank higher than run-of-the-mill gay people, so therefore no crime was committed.

True enough. But there are some large caveats. Pride Parade is one of the biggest events of the year in Toronto. Plus the anti Israel protests are not really racial or cultural in nature, but political.  So you could say that leftists rank below LGB people in the Oppression Olympics in this case. 

 

Hopefully both of these situations will open a few eyes in the liberal/left/LGBT communities that they are NOT liked by conservative Muslims or political Islamists, and that they are being used. 

Halifax, Nova Scotia, is one of the very few areas (perhaps the only area) in Canada that still shows minuscule support for Trudeau's Liberal government.

The last two years have seen immigration of a million per year to Canada, all too many from a part of the world whose name cannot be mentioned whenever crimes like this are committed.

Fortunately all these cultural enrichers are doctors and nurses who are actually doing us a favour by gracing our countries with their presence, so they will have been able to administer first aid immediately after their homophobic assault. 

 

Gay bashing, in the name of diversity. 

 

Like I have said many times, the liberal West is importing all the values that liberals claim to despise. Intolerance, homophobia, misogyny, antisemitism. But if you complain, you're a bigot.😃

looks like Halifax police has preempted in their mindset which endangered group deserves to be protected more: middle eastern men vs lesbians

So...  when is Thaiger going to officially change the name of the forum to Asean/North America/UK Now?

Unfortunately for these 2 girls, they are not high enough up on the identity victim pyramid so nothing will be done here as people of a certain religion will automatically be given more victim points.  Next time one of them needs to identify as trans which will bump them up to the top of the victim pyramid and then action will be taken against the perps.
