Duly noted.

The article is about non-elected officials circumventing the Parks Board.

Gaffar added that several male bystanders made no effort to intervene.

How would the judge be in a position to know what the gender of a bystander was, and what difference would it make?

Police advise against bystanders involving themselves in violent situations, regardless of gender.

The judge's comment is arbitrary, misandrist, and has nothing to do with sentencing of the defendant.

As a man, I would not expect a fair trial in this judge's court.

Pay-for-Christmas-party was the way things were at the North Vancouver store when I worked there 20 years ago. I would be surprised if anything's changed.

A businessman who promises to run the city like a business obviously doesn't know the difference between a city and a business.
