Canada man arrested for threatening pro-Palestinian activists with nail gun
2024-03-05
They’ve got lots of Jewish rednecks up in Canada.
[IsraelTimes] Videos on social media show 27-year-old confronting keffiyeh-wearing protesters, yelling obscenities; protest held during private synagogue event in Jewish neighborhood

Canadian police on Sunday arrested a man after he allegedly fired a nail gun at participants in a pro-Palestinian protest in the city of Vaughan, just north of Toronto.

Ilan-Reuben Abramov, 27, was arrested on several charges, including possession of weapons dangerous to the public, assault with a weapon, and two additional counts of assault, according to local police.

Police were called to the scene on Sunday morning after Abramov stopped his vehicle in front of the protesters and began shouting obscenities, engaging in overt confrontation with three of them, according to a police report that cited eyewitnesses.

One protester who was involved in the confrontation told police that Abramov discharged a nail gun that he was carrying. The police report said that nobody was hurt and that officers were continuing to investigate the incident.

Abramov is seen in videos circulating on social media approaching protesters holding a nail gun and shouting, "Every fucking Paleostinian will die." Noticing he is being filmed, Abramov knocks a cellphone out of one protester’s hand before being pushed away by another protester, whom he pushes back.

He is then shown putting the nail gun away in his car before squaring up for a fistfight. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
instead of fighting, he drives away.

The protest was held in the neighborhood of Thornhill, whose population is approximately 30 percent Jewish. According to the Canadian Jewish News, the protesters gathered outside of Aish Thornhill Community Shul, which was hosting an event focused on buying property in Israel promoted by local real estate agents. It was a private synagogue event open only to those who had registered.

#10  Having used a nail gun more than I care to remember, I can say this: If they were more than 5 feet away, it's about as dangerous as throwing a nail at them.
Re the particular nail gun in the videos: unless it was connected to an air compressor, he was theatening to hit them with the nail gun, not shoot it at them.

#8  This man in particular thought he had the right to use violence to stop people from speaking.

The only thing worse than a muzzy are their Western enablers.

#7  "Nail him down" a little known but exotic punishment that has shown remarkable success in reducing recidivism.

Yeah, so?

#4  I specifically said Canada. And yes, the government can and does arrest people for speaking.



Not some guy with a nail gun. If you hear something that you don't like, call the cops.

Not even in Canada.

#3  Yes, people can say what they want and you can't silence them.

Such an ignorant, parochial American. There is no right to freedom of speech in Canada. And hate speech is specifically forbidden.

#2  What is the deal with Jews thinking they can control what other people say? I swear to God this happens all the time.


I know it's Canada and they have no free speech there, but Jesus. Yes, people can say what they want and you can't silence them.


I'm honestly starting to think they just got used to being able to silence others, and now that they can't they're reacting withoutbursts of rage, in this case violent.

#1  I'm not impressed by the ballistic coefficient of unrifled nails or brads. This guy would be better off if he tried siding with the other studs; Jack Stud and King Stud. He could have said that he was framed. Try the veal.
