Man Convicted of Assault After Spitting On Jewish Couple and Praising Hitler

I thought that the office of Holocaust czar was to prevent this sort of thing.

Don't tell me that this was merely posturing to quiet people and on the taxpayer's dime, too:

Amid a wave of antisemitic attacks in the wake of October 7, a Vaughan, Ont., man who spat at a group of Jewish congregants leaving a local synagogue has been found guilty of assault. ...

On Jan. 6, 2024, Roll left Saturday morning services at Chabad Flamingo synagogue alongside her husband, Malcolm Roll, and two other parishioners. While they were walking home, ...

(Sidebar: wait for it.) 

... Kenneth Gobin was riding his e-bike.

(Sidebar: hatred always sounds better when you try being "green".)

He mounted the curb and rode at the group of congregants, nearly hitting them, according to a ruling by Justice Michael Alexander Townsend of the Ontario Court of Justice.

One of the men in the group yelled at him for driving erratically on the sidewalk. Gobin rode away, but then returned and shouted: “Hitler should have killed you all,” and, “You should have died in the Holocaust!” He then got within a few feet of Tilda Roll and spit on her while her husband tried to shield her, Roll testified, according to the court documents obtained by National Post.

Another witness told police that Gobin “raised his arm above a 45-degree angle,” referring to a Nazi salute. The broad strokes of the incident were corroborated by the other witnesses.

Gobin was found guilty of two counts of assault for spitting on the couple.

He will be sentenced on May 8, the same date as Waisuddin Akbari, a Toronto shop owner, who Global News reported on Tuesday was arrested three months after Roll’s incident for telling someone he was planning a suicide mission. He was convicted in November 2024 of threatening death and property damage for threatening to damage synagogues and “threatening death against the Jewish people.”

 

Why not sentence them both now and, once they've finished serving their sentences, send them to Iran where their vile hatreds would be most welcome?
