Free speech is under attack at the University of Calgary. This is the second time a Calgary student was attacked for wearing a Trump “Make America Great Again” hat after an altercation a month ago at Mount Royal University. This time, it got violent.
Andrew Brookman was walking through MacEwan Hall with a friend early Friday evening when another young man called out “Make America Great Again” and reached out for a fist bump in response to the Trump campaign hat Brookman was wearing.
I had a chance to chat with Andrew and he tells me that he was punched in the face and choked after what he thought was going to be a pleasant interaction.
Campus security interjected, detained both himself and his accuser and the police were called. The police told him that they had viewed the CCTV security footage but said some of it was blocked and due to this, determined that the altercation was consensual. Andrew says he didn’t provoke this altercation and that he’s innocent.
He was attacked for wearing a hat that someone else found offensive. Even worse, after speaking with Calgary Metro about the incident, they misrepresented some of the story.
Watch my exclusive interview with this student as he explains the university’s silence and how he now feels unsafe if he continues to wear the hat.
Despite his fear, he says he’ll continue to wear it in support of free speech and our right to free expression.
Brookman has lived in countries where he’s experienced real oppression so he’ll continue to fight for these important freedoms that Canadians have died for.
It’s actually a simple case of deduction Watson. There was nothing to identify the attacker that would want to make Andrew go over and hit the guy, however, there WAS something identifying on Andrew, something we all know is despised by others. So your honour, guess which one was the instigator?
I’d like to see that CVT footage for myself, and Andrew would be wise to do so, as I bet dollars to donuts you can tell whom the aggressor is, despite any “poles in the way”. We’ve seen how biased the Calgary police are in the past. And from there he can file a private charge against the guy, and even the police if they truly Obstructed Justice!
All Lefty’s are violent rednecks!!
What’s with that?
And the moral of this sand tale of deception and duplicity is; if you believe what you hear from partisan or MSM sources, you’ll be as schizophrenic as they are.

I guess its 2016.
So he resorts to pussy fart big brother mass surveillance – selling out his privacy freedom, rather than man up and learn to defend himself physically.
As for the foaming psycho fascist “judo guy” – he he , I wish I had a fiver for every on of these bruce lee wannabees friends and I have frog walked out of bars and other public venues (after a few well placed “pacification” swats). The ones who get some level of training and engage in starting fights are the easiest ones to hurt really bad, because they live in some dream world where they have never really been in a real fight for keeps.
A little self defense hint to Andrew – elbows, knees and fingers are construncted to bend only one way – if they are bent the opposite way with swift blunt force the subject is essentially incapacitated of movement.
I know someone who allowed her teen to watch this program every night, unsupervised and when asked if she thought it to be violent she said it was funny.
My generation thought pornography was just a joke and not to be taken seriously (by the men) but it is now the number one addiction.
Exposure to this type of behavior creates this type of behavior.
These kids think ‘reality TV’ behavior is reality.
Marxism , it started off soft in the 50s and 60s , now it’s starting to harden .
Islamic Shari, it started in the 80s this movement is Harding up faster than j-b weld .
These two forces are using each other concentuly for now , but Shari will TRUMP Marxism , bye then a lot of Canada will be destroyed
Thanks university campuses!!!
It sounds like the police are cowards, ‘consensual fight’ my butt.
Thanks for getting on this quickly Holly.
