A viral video in recent days out of Montreal, Quebec. Older guy thought the younger guy was making too much noise, physically attacked him, then evicted him. Much commentary on Youtube and Twitter.
As well, a staff member has been suspended in connection with the incident.
A member of a Montreal-area gym who hit another member for making too much noise while powerlifting has been barred from the facility.
As well, a staff member has been suspended in connection with the incident, said Craig Johnson, head of operations for Buzzfit gyms, on Sunday evening.
A video of the incident, posted on a YouTube channel on Thursday evening, received more than 944,000 views by Sunday evening.
Nineteen-year-old Charles-Antoine Lalonde was at the Greenfield Park location of Buzzfit at about 10 p.m. on Aug. 2. He was doing a powerlifting exercise known as deadlifting, in which a bar holding weights is lifted off the ground to hip level, then lowered back down.
Lalonde was midset, lifting 350 pounds, and caught off guard when his assailant approached and, visibly agitated, appeared to kick the barbell out of his hands and shove Lalonde against the wall of the gym, all the while yelling at him to “get out.”

Reminds me of a YouTube video I watched yesterday about a black tenant at an apartment building chilling out at the pool and a off duty cop starts giving him the business and the manager comes out knows the guy because he lives there at the apartment complex.
The manager on duty takes side with the off-duty cop trying to give this young man the business about being poolside with the key in hand.
Irritates me to watch videos of incompetent people in power ****ing morons
So the manager was fired and the cop who is not on duty still works for the department
Cop never asked any other person there if they live there, this cop she was on a power trip never had an encounter with a person before hand

While I'm not familiar with the case you've mentioned, I could greatly expound on the subject matter, becoming the racial and political subject it sadly is.
In the case I brought to the forum; bullying and/or 'roid rage' are the obvious factors with management correctly handling the situation (whew!).
Much speculation on who the bully is but no clear ID has been released at this point as doxxing would become a new art form. Speculation in these matters can be dangerous/unwarranted for the innocent.

We rented a Condo at the beach. Every time we asked the Manager a question his answer was "You are a renter".
I noticed every morning first thing he swept the pool. Few people were using it because the beach and ocean were great.
On our last day I slipped a Baby Ruth bar in the pool and mused while he went ballistic.;)
