Hanlan's Point Assault

If it was one of they Red Black's players, they'll catch them all.
Now for the stupid comment in the article. "Boland does not want to see an increased police presence on Hanlan’s Point as a result of this incident, because many LGBTQ+ people, including himself, have had little success when reporting assaults to police."

That's a fair statement; if you are that offended by people being gay then going to a place with lots of gay people is dumb. As for straight people who aren't bigots going, why shouldn't they?
Hope the assailants are caught and prosecuted.
Fwiw I go there a lot, and hang out (pun intended) on all parts of the beach. I simply enjoy being naked and the sun.
Creating a beach area only for one group is just wrong and discriminatory. The sunsets are pretty great there. People are pretty cool and respectful.
This reported assault is really unusual and no reason to start changing the dynamics IMHO

In the past I would go a couple of times a year, almost always with friends (see pic below) but only twice in the last four years because of the floods and pandemic. Never actually saw anything too untowards (although one time I saw a guy servicing another guy in the bushes).
This incident happened at 11:30PM near the dock. I think the ferry stopped running hours ago.
He wants "straight" Torontonians to choose other beaches? What a moronic statement. Like straight people are a general threat to the gay community. Give me a break.
While that's a valid statement, it infers that people who don't support the queer community are going to resort to violence.
I've been to that beach many times with my wife and friends. I can guarantee not everyone there is queer. And from what I understand (speaking to my gay friends, and I know many) straight people aren't the problem, it's the assholes. Don't lump the straights in with the homophobic thugs.
Way late and way wrong
Wrong forum as well
Ottawa Redblacks football player suspended over the assault
Redblacks suspend DL Larsen over assault allegations - TSN.ca
The Ottawa Redblacks have announced the suspension of defensive lineman Chris Larsen. Toronto Police informed the team that Larsen was under investigation over his alleged participation in an assault last weekend.

Another pic from happier times. Before the floods, before the plague and before the assault. Hint: Best time to take pics of your friends is after 6PM when all the normal people have left the beach (avoids catching innocent people in the background).
