The left-wing is crazy and the right-wing scares the shit out of me!

Allan's Perspective is NOT recommended for the politically correct, or the overly religious. Some people have opinions. Some people have convictions......... What we offer is PERSPECTIVE!

Cutting corners!

Dear Friends: A few days ago I remarked that the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" is no longer valid in our society.

What prompted this observation was the amount of sexual harassment and abuse  allegations that were being accepted as fact just for the telling and certainly before any concrete evidence was displayed.

Well it went another step further when Canadians first heard an 11-year-old girl had been assaulted twice by a man who tried to cut her hijab from her head with scissors.
It seemed a shocking attack that fueled public concern, understandably among Muslims in particular, that hate is growing and ubiquitous in this country.

There was understandable anger from the child’s mom, outrage from the school board officials, who trotted the girl out in front of television cameras and reporters, and more outrage from political leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory.
Except, as we now know, the assault never happened.
We also know police quickly determined the story was a hoax and that school board officials needlessly shoved an 11-year-old into a limelight she couldn’t possibly understand, without bothering to wait for the facts. Why was a press conference necessary?

And we know our political leaders blamed intolerance without reasonable evidence.

The girl’s family has had the tremendous grace to apologize.

“We are deeply sorry for the pain and anger that our family has caused in the past several days,” they said in a statement. “When we arrived at the school on Friday, we were informed what happened and assumed it to be true, just like everyone else.”
O.K. so an 11 year old kid made up a story that wasn't true and this certainly isn't right.

But the reaction from the public wasn't right either because everybody is so quick to condemn these days instead of finding out what the real story is.

I think we all nedd to cool our jets a little bit folks!

The way I see it anyway!
