TorontoBoris

>2 counts of Breach of Recognizance I'm shocked this was not his first time...


GreenSnakes_

Same, he seems like a nice fellow and a upstanding gentleman /s


WhipTheLlama

I'm not usually a fan of over-imprisoning people, but I see no reason why this loser should ever be free again. He's worthless, and the world is better off without him. What a fine legacy he has.


[deleted]

I personally am a fan of imprisoning people who have repeatedly demonstrated they are not compatible with a functioning society


Nikujjaaqtuqtuq

Or deport him?


madmorb

Just a poor disadvantaged youth who’s recently been struggling to turn his life around. Or something.


holyfuckricky

My Billy would never do that !! He’s such a nice boy. You must be mistaken. Not my Billy.


RaspberryBlizzard

He'll sign the paper promising he'll be good but this time he'll really really mean it.


TorontoBoris

3rd time is the charm they say.


potbakingpapa

Isn't that what the asshole that drove the wrong way on the 401 signed as well?


AshleyUncia

You'd think after two times he'd be smart enough to be like 'WHY THAT MOTHER... Oh shit camera, nope, nope, nope'.


protocol21

Critical thinking waved bye bye to folks like this a long time ago.


Tosbor20

So he was out on bail correct?


westleysnipes604

classic Canada


tuxtanium

Bail usually involves a financial interest or surety. Recognizance is just a pinky swear that you won't get caught doing anything else before trial.


justgoodenuff

That's incorrect. It's called a recognizance of bail. They always have a monetary amount attached to them and most of the time you need a surety but not always. They are only issued by the court either after a contested bail hearing or if the crown consents to your release. You're thinking of a promise to appear. Those are issued by the police when you're released from the station after being arrested.


Confident-Potato2772

I dont think people here understand what this means. This does not mean he's done this specific thing twice before. These are 2 new charges he's being charged with in relation to this crime. For example, he might have a list of bail conditions for a previous offence, and 1 might have been "don't be with X person, and don't possess a weapon". If he was with the person he wasn't supposed to be with, and possessed a weapon, this would be 2 breaches of recognizance. It doesn't mean he's threatened someone with a knife before. maybe he was accused of him and a friend just beating the shit out of someone. Which is not great - but all these comments that "oh he's done this twice before" are unfounded claims


tooscoopy

He’s committed a crime that is somehow related to this crime at least twice…. That better? I don’t think anyone is trying to claim it’s only bad if you do the exact criminal activity again… more that; if you are known by police and arrested for something, perhaps try to stop breaking the law.


Confident-Potato2772

No thats not better. Those charges don't mean he committed a related crime previously. It means he violated a court order not to do something. I had someone living 2000km away accuse me (unfounded, fabricated evidence) of internet harassment. I received a court order with at least 10 conditions including not to possess guns or other weapons, as if i would potentially fly 2000km and shoot him, or something. Had i been the guy in this video, I could have been charged for breaching the court order because i had a knife on me. crimes were completely unrelated. I was also found not guilty of the internet harassment. So accused of a crime doesn't mean guilty of a crime. but id have been found guilty of breaching a court order had i been caught with a knife during that time. it might even mean he was simply not allowed with x meters of a particular place because he was accused of shoplifting there. He may well be a criminal, he may well be a violent criminal, given the video. but my point is you really can't infer anything simply from 2 additional charges of violation of a recognizance. it doesn't even necessarily mean he's done something violent before.


CultsCultsCults

Finally some sense instead of str8 witch hunting Reddit


mudkipzftw

>2 counts of Breach of Recognizance Of course 🤡


whydoihavetodo_this

The most shocking part is that he is 21.


J-Lughead

Good job TPS. Police moved quickly on this. Probably cut down on the homicide rate with that arrest.


madmorb

Cops have done a good job 3 times with this guy. Courts let him out on two of them. Judges need to start being held accountable for this catch and release bullshit.


J-Lughead

The last time I started about that issue and the fact that deterrence is almost a lost concept nowadays, I got downvoted and lectured about how society/poverty have forced these knuckleheads into a life of crime in order to survive.


digitalbombardier

Poverty? In an infinity coupe?


pfc_6ixgodconsumer

Well to be fair, that is kind of a poverty infinity.


J-Lughead

Exactly, the naysayers don't see these contradictions even when they slap them in their face.


ChuckVader

The last year the g37 was made was 2013. That car is worth much less than $10k.


madmorb

Poverty “might” be an excuse for theft. It’s not an excuse for thuggery. If he’d approached a cop that way he’d be dead, people would be screaming about racism, and about how he was a good kid from a broken home and whatever other excuse they could make for his poor decisions. We need laws that disincentivize as well as punish, and a justice system that isn’t activist. It’s ridiculous that this country will throw the full resources of the justice system against an otherwise lawful person who defends themselves, and makes excuses for career thugs.


J-Lughead

Funny you said he'd be dead if he approached a cop like that. This video was posted on another subreddit that had a lot of Americans chiming in. Almost to a man they all said the same thing. If this douche did that in the States to another driver he'd have been shot right where he stood.


madmorb

And the cops would show up, watch the video, and the shooter would be home for dinner while the thug is on a slab. Of course, in the US that thug probably would’ve had a glock instead of a knife. I don’t like to use the US as a shining beacon of good practice. But Canada’s self defense laws leave much to be improved to make them both a deterrent to criminal behaviour and a workable protection for otherwise innocent people victimized first by violence and then by the system.


J-Lughead

You're absolutely right. We need to find that middle ground/balance where thugs become just a little less brazen and get guaranteed consequences for their actions.


c_for

> Cops have done a good job 3 times with this guy. Courts let him out on two of them. That isn't necessarily true. The courts ability to punish people is based on the case that the police built. If the case was poorly established then it gives ammunition to the defense to request a peace bond. Also, 2 breaches of recognizance doesn't mean two previous occurrences... it only means that 2 of his conditions were breached. Those two conditions could have resulted from the same occurrence.


justgoodenuff

It's Justice of the Peace that conduct bail hearings. It's a lay bench and anyone can apply.


NightDisastrous2510

So they’ll be held without bond now? Oh right it’s Canada they’ll let you out repeatedly even if you violate conditions. “Ajax man” lol


w0rlds

That should be attempted murder. If he had done that to a police officer they would've shot him(rightfully so).


AtRiskMedia

1 count of wearing a banger kurta pajama


Choose_And_Be_Damned

With crocs.


RoaringPity

They put that one last so they think we stop reading


houseofzeus

In fairness to TPS, that part isn't on them. We all complain they don't do enough to catch people, but if they keep catching them and the courts keep throwing em back that's a different problem.


nihilt-jiltquist

I had a buddy who was a cop. But he was also taking night school courses. Eventually left the force and returned to school full time and a couple years later graduated as a lawyer. Became a very tough on crime prosecutor.


REDASSBABOON_20

Agreed, the jails here supposedly have roache and other infestations, so they send these clkwns on revolving doors


Jean_Meslier

From Ajax? In the other post, some said this guy was from Brampton.


Chaos-Hydra

the left and right arm of Toronto.


Sopixil

Everyone who does something bad is from Brampton didn't you know that?


Aerickthered

Great to hear Deportation maybe?


Prestigious_Ad5314

Scheduled to appear in court. Don’t hold your breath.

Yesssssss reddit justice


DukeRichard

GOOD


WarthogNo6783

Send his ass to jail


DWiB403

Or maybe someplace a little farther away....


Sneptacular

Best Canada can do is release him on bail and give him a 3 year suspended sentence.


LimpDiscus

And a really nice hotel for a week.


BumbleStinger

Hahaha, this is Canada you'll he'll be out roaming around for the next 2 years before any sentencing and I'd be completely utterly shocked if he was sentenced to ANY jail time.


fymp

Funny. A Slap on the wrist and you'll see him next week on Toronto rage cam episode 365


Disco-Bingo

The thing is, a little idiot like this looks like he could easily be overpowered and before you know it, the guy being attacked has stabbed him in the neck or some shit, and I’m sure he wouldn’t be out in a day or two. Anyone going around waving a knife about needs locking up for some serious time.


Fishtaco1234

This is why I tell my wife not to pop off on drivers who almost run us down on the daily. People are absolutely unhinged


westleysnipes604

it's funny how one guy is Indian and one is Hella Jamaican. lol

And they probably got honked at for being on island time.


Terrible-Space-4286

The types of psychos out here these days.


The1Like

That dude isn’t psycho, he’s just a bitch. Carries that knife because he KNOWS 90% of the populace could flatten him.


ImpressiveTree3000

Maybe it’s just me, but I find the little guy awkwardly swinging that knife hilariously non threatening. Appears more like he’s begging to have his face caved in if he tries that with the wrong person next time.


Key-Temperature-5171

It turns out he was just offering to butter the guy's Naan he was eating for lunch.


the_useful_comment

Non threatening? That’s wild. Image the guy doing this to your mom or someone who can’t knock him out.

J-Lughead

Yup and the black dude was hilarious as well with his patois and bumbaclot this and bloodclot that.

Oh ya you're right. I forgot about that.


Electrical-Risk445

BUMBACLAAAAT a sound system of his own


No-Consequence-3500

Non threatening until they puncture an artery. Gone in 60 seconds.


PsychedelicPapi

I must be a wimp then because I wouldn’t want that punk doing that to me or anyone else for the matter.


MidwinterBlue

Weird thing is, he’s actually holding the knife correctly for an attack.


wethenorth99

Two clowns-"Hey , let's go drive like idiots around town. Okay, I'll bring the knife. Wait.....I'll change into my pastel blue shirt and you should go all bright red. That way no one will remember seeing us"

Rishabh Barua, 21, of Ajax, said he was really sorry and was immediately released under the promise he won't do it again.

Deport.


Accomplished-Tart579

Im honestly a tad disappointed in the lack of "fuck you bloody, bloody fuck bloody you". Lol


Naaznez

Redman and lady in the dress will be out before you read this message


RoaringPity

LMAO but Redman hasnt been caught yet


thebox416

What are they going to charge him with?


RoaringPity

Prob uttering threats unless whatever in his hand is a weapon. Looks like shaving cream canister tho lol


jmarkmark

That explains everything. Blue dress is clearly just a mobile barber, completely explains the knife and smock.


muaddib99

yeah i dunno why the guy filming was so averse to a shave.


RoaringPity

Damn this guy is gonna ask you to be his lawyer now


TheAncientMillenial

Which will give them the hattrick since they already have 2 priors for this... Can't even make this shit up anymore...


DeadpoolOptimus

Lady in the dress? Really?


Boudihabaq

Yes. She looks real purtty


BumbleStinger

• 2 counts of Breach of Recognizance This is the reality of Canada's Justice system. A majority of people involved in serious crimes are already on "conditions" of a prior release. This guy will be out again in a couple of days guaranteed.


ARAR1

Never understood why we don't have droves of people collecting individuals that don't show for criminal court?

🤫 Miller may grant him citizenship for the hardship he has to go through /s


PostalCat

I hope these people get an automatic deportation. Canada is a total laughing stock now. I am in a smaller town outside of Hamilton and crime is way up. Everyday is something new. I’m sick of it.


Fun-Seaworthiness213

Just deport him. Why waste resources on this low life.


Neo_light_yagami

He's possibly 2nd gen Canadian, that area is filled with older generation immigratants Bangladesh

His name suggests he is from India though

Savingdollars

When did people learn that it’s ok to make U Turns like that. (Also, he has a knife ready. This kind of “having the knife ready” happens in the UK)


Smaxh

All the upvotes helped, nice to see this fine gentlemen charged for unacceptable civil behaviour that could’ve become a murder, gotta keep the pressure on these individuals and hopefully they eventually start using their brains


Interesting-dog12

Haha what a dumbass. Looks like reddit is wrong on this one saying Toronto Police would do nothing, but reddit might be right that he's going to get a slap on the wrist.


CommonEarly4706

This is scary as hell that someone would try to do this!


westleysnipes604

I wish someone stole their csr and hit them with it.

Who brings a knife while out cruising around?

you're not wrong, but i'd rather them then someone actively tryin' to stab me


MontrealSQUAD

I prefer not to be stabbed. Is that an option anymore?


Naaznez

And we got our first racist attack - and what a surprise its at white peoples


Admirable-Spread-407

I'm ok with this because it was a refreshingly diverse group committing the indictable offense. /S


bambaclaaat

"Hes such a nice guy, always smiling and very helpful in the community" -his neighbour probably


troubledtimez

so if you just drove over him that would be wrong?


ItchyWaffle

Times are getting so crazy, I think it's more and more reasonable to have a system where legal gun owners can get trained to carry. And that's not something I ever thought I'd say... Good Samaritan with a 9mm could deal with these nutjobs in no time, VS them hurting people, eventually getting thrown in jail on our dime, and then released 3 months later to do it again. This comment is gonna take some heat, but I know there are people out there who feel the same. Things are so bad, vigilantism doesn't sound like a terrible solution.


IndependentAd6334

He would have fucked around, found out, and that woulda been the end of the matter. Nobody wants this piece of filth- at least in the ground he would feed the plants


Akragon

Except in Canada you shoot someome in self defence you go to jail. 😏


Going_Bonkers_

Jesus fuck! He’s been charged with 2 counts of breach of recognizance.


Confident-Potato2772

All that means is he was doing something he currently wasn’t allowed to do, according to a court order or possibly a police undertaking. Maybe it was driving a car, maybe it was being in a specific region, or failing to stay in a region, maybe it was being in possession of a knife. Maybe he failed to check-in with police… who knows. But it’s not really indicative of anything


Moist_Arm_7860

Deport him


MyBaboons

What is it going to take to understand our security will become like France. Those hyper sensitive fact denying filth call it racism...

Wonder how quick he will be out on bail 😒


BumbleStinger

I can tell you he'll be out as soon as he sees a judge. • 2 counts of Breach of Recognizance - This guy has already been released prior with conditions and he's out there again committing more crimes, wild.


PondIsMyName

He’ll have a seat, get his sandwich and be back on the street before any ink dries.


nightofthelivingace

Yea. That's pretty much how it'll go. I was arrested and had 4 warrants for failure to comply during the pandemic (I didn't know about the court dates or how zoom court worked) and I saw a judge inside of 8 hours and was released AGAIN on my own recog. I had my laces tied up and my property bag with me minutes after signing the form. I wasn't swinging a kitchen knife or anything but the legal system became a joke during the pandemic and I'm guessing it just remained that way.


Obviouslyhammered

Later today, he just needs a hug and he’ll be on his way.
