When he asked them to move their carts blocking the path, he says they demanded money and his cigarette. Demarce refused, and the men allegedly attacked him, leaving him battered and bruised.
Demarce who is a Canadian veteran and ex-medic, has bruises on his arms, a split thumbnail, and injuries to his ribs and head.
Moreover, Demarce isn’t pressing charges, citing a lack of faith in the justice system.

Violence towards elderly people should have major consequences.
-
Group of poor drug addicts intimidated by a senior's vehicle acted in self defence. -BC Judge probably

So this is what the veteran fought for. Thugs running amok, knowing they wouldnt be punished. It is really sad that even he couldnt be bothered to report it because he knows the justice system will do nothing. This country has become a dumpster fire.

Alleged assault? Make journalism great again. They are all cowards!
-
The punishments need to be harsh. Too soft on crime.
-
in this case, vigilante justice is more than appropriate against these perpetrators
-
Many people avoid calling the police for lack of faith in the justice system. Cowards rob seniors.
-
The levels of cowardice to gang beat an 80 year old man is incredible.
-
People like that understand only one language.
-
..only damaged people could perpetrate such a cowardly attack on those unable to defend themselves...put away or put down..only answer..
-
Describe the assailants and let's go get em.

APPALLING doesn't begin to cover my reaction. I'm hopeful this gentleman gets to live the rest of his days without any further insanity. ❤🫂

This is so disgusting. And for this wise elderly person not to trust justice says a lot about the state of this country.
-
If I saw that happening, I would be in jail right now.
-
He's a wise old man, he has our justice system figured out better than our Liberal politicians. Sorry this had to happen.
-
this poor fellow would be protected if news outlets like this one would stop supporting a government that lets this now very common issue happen all over Canada.
-
Sad state of affairs in Canada
-
What the hell, why attack a senior I think he should still open a case because these people are left to roam and hurt others
-
Non-diversity is our strength
-
Do the police need the victim's go ahead to investigate a robbery involving violence to a disabled person ? Out on the street in plain view?
