This is everything wrong with Canada. Defend yourself and get charged. Complete and utter bullcr*p.
Charged for the defense of himself? Are you guys mentally handicapped?
Jon S, I agree with you. This is BS totally. The man is a hero for fighting off his attackers! He should be praised for his actions.
That’s BS, everyone needs to be able to defend themselves without being charged.
