The suspect, Medhat Darwish, 56, appeared before Quebec Court Judge Tristan Desjardins on Wednesday at the Montreal courthouse.
He was charged with attempted murder through an attack using a hammer, aggravated assault and assaulting police officers.
Police are also considering whether the attack could be an “honour crime,” a source familiar with the case told The Gazette, as first reported by Le Journal de Montréal.
Darwish runs the Centre Samourai Koryukan martial arts school in Lachine, according to Quebec’s business registry.
Gee, the martial artist needed a hammer to make his point.
Maybe the judge should use a shotgun instead of a gavel to make his.
He sounds like a real … whirling dervish. May Allah’s unholy name be praised straight to hell.
Yes, I am suspicious of his martial abilities.
Was he hired to take part in this, why would the news mention “honor crime” but not mention the circumstances which made the police officer’s daughter, “dishonorable”?
really reallllllllllllllllly sloppy ‘journalism’. l suspect (pun intended) the ‘honour crime’ mentioned in passing BUT
not pursued because . . . . . a rumour suffices. track down the rumour find out . . . . . . . . its a false rumour
well shyt now what? that the headline ‘hook that is now discredited. that wd be really poor journalism sooooo
maintenir le drot. or is that ‘rot’? maintenir le deniability see?
the state of ‘journalism’ today, ENDS with the ‘hook’ whereas used to be that was the beginning of the story.
But, but, but, ….. Its their culture.
What are you some kind of racist?
Poor man.
The judge will take care of him, will make sure that it is the fault of the daughter.
also a cop gets attacked with a hammer? ask me whats worse, me getting knocked on the floor cops dismiss it as ‘occupancy rights’ or somebody takes a gnikcuf hammer to one. ask me which incident delights me.
and dont fergit the Karma angle, 7 of them all within 150 km radius all dead right after the worst insult of my life.
at a rate some THIRTY TIMES ‘avg’ ‘typical’. *never before or since in all Confederation*
take it up with Karma, l leave ALL the revenge in my timeline up to her now.
But was it an assault hammer?
Keerist. I have near a dozen and a half different hammers. Do you know what kind of a PITA it’s gonna be to have to register them all?
A dozen and a half different hammers? You’re at risk of peen your pants!
That’s not the way I’d frame it … I’d use a 28oz milled face. That’ll leave a mark.
