BC, Canada: Hate crime closes down party

The regulars at Totally Boss at Grasshopper’s Bar & Grill last Friday wore pink.

They were showing their support for Michael Croteau and Benjamin Friesen, two customers who became the victims of hate crime there at the previous Totally Boss on March 29th. The couple was dancing when their assailant walked up to them, grabbed their heads and slammed them together. Both briefly blacked out.

When later confronted by Croteau and Friesen, the assailant exclaimed, “What the hell are you guys doing? You’re guys!” and struck Croteau in the jaw. Before Friesen could react, he was punched in the face twice.

When asked what he had thought about the situation, Croteau responded with sympathy for his assailant.
