A Bloc Québécois member of Parliament says he was assaulted and pepper-sprayed this week while in Brussels for a NATO parliamentary assembly meeting.

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay, who represents the riding of Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton, posted on social media that three people jumped him in the street around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday and stole his watch.

Savard-Tremblay says he fought back and shouted loudly in hopes of alerting people nearby but the individuals managed to knock him to the ground.

The MP says other people on the street gave him water and he went to the police station to report what happened.

He says he also notified security at the House of Commons and the embassy in Brussels.

Savard-Tremblay says he was not injured but is warning people to be extremely cautious when travelling abroad.

More immigration should solve this!

Imagine the uproar if the muggers had accosted him in English instead of Maghrebi French

 

[vanta pilled]

Just part and parcel of being in a big city Mr. politician.

Too many hyphens. The robber wanted Simon-Pierre to share the wealth.

It's fine.
This is Brussels we're talking about here.

The muggers would have been fully licensed, done a risk assessment and debated the enterprise in sub-committees before choosing their target.

You might ask how it's possible for a Canadian to have "voted for it" when it comes to the European Union. It is because Upper-Case-G-Globohomo is a decentralized synoptic vision, and guilt can be spread without consideration for whether or not someone literally "voted for it".

I'm completely unsurprised. I went to Brussels a few weeks ago for a work thing, I haven't been there in like six years, and now it was even worse than before - and it fucking sucked before. I was staying downtown, right next to the European Parliament building complex, and one night I went for a walk and a couple blocks away I ended up in literal niggerhell. Piles of uncollected trash nearly as high as I'm tall, and every storefront around you is African Nail Salon, African Cafe, African Groceries, that sort of shit.

Also, there's a subway station near the ghetto called Troon. While you walk there, a bus on line 95 might drive past you, heading towards Wiener.
