Hunt, who turned himself in, is charged with eight counts of assault and seven counts of mischief. He appeared in court at Old City Hall Saturday morning for a bail hearing.
...
Hunt has also been identified as the man who knocked over a sign and argued with pro-life demonstrators last summer in a video filmed by Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform (CCBR).
Hunt lost his contract at Noble Studio 101, which posted a statement on Wednesday that “We don’t condone his actions and he has been let go.”
“We’re four strong women here,” a studio representative told LifeSiteNews. “We don’t condone any kind of violence… He won’t be stepping his foot through the door again.”

how does 1 assault get you 8 charges?

My guess would be prior incidents. The story makes it sound as if it knows of at least one more where he knocked over a sign.
Judging by his actions in this video I'd say I wouldn't be shocked if he had assaulted multiple others.

Rationally, I hope that he receives punishment for his alleged crime against another individual.
Emotionally, I hope that an angry wolverine rips his tiny testicles off and eats them while he clutches the bleeding hole where his genitals once were.
This is the problem with both sides of the political spectrum nowadays; nobody can ever have a mature, open discussion without resorting to or threatening the other side with violence..
But over the last decade, 3 percent of extremist killings in the U.S. have been committed by members of far left-wing groups — a fraction of the 71 percent by right-wing extremists and 26 percent by Islamic extremists.

I probably shouldn't be laughing at someone who's clearly suffering from mental health issues, but there are so many moments in this short little video that leave me shaking my head. As soon as the video starts, you can see him apologizing to 2 females for doing something to their jackets, as he mistakenly took them as pro-lifers (I think that's a lighter in his hand). One female then tells him "you wanna kill them with kindness, remember?", and he quickly responds with "that's right". But shortly after a quick dialogue between him and the camerawoman, something prompted him to literally jump into a wind-up stance (tongue out and everything) before unleashing a roundhouse-kick to the woman. Lol.. this is the part where I probably shouldn't be laughing.
Killin' em with kindness, alright.
As far as abortion goes, I have no strong feelings either way. But I do understand this is a sensitive topic and think it will be interesting to hear some of your thoughts.
Watched this earlier. It's funny in the background you hear him saying I just meant to kick your phone.
Ok...so...even if that is all you meant to do it is still assault.
It amazes me that people like this are allowed to be in public. I cant even begin to imagine the coffee house conversations amongst people like this....so much hate and disdain for everything. Victim mentality and cockiness dont go well together.
Playing on the Emotions
Even though feelings might be irrelevant when it comes to factual claims or the logic of an argument, they play a crucial role in persuasion. Emotional appeals are fabricated by practiced publicists, who play on feelings as skillfully as a virtuoso plays the piano.

Hatred is a strong emotion exploited by propagandists. Loaded language is particularly effective in triggering it. There seems to be a nearly endless supply of nasty words that promote and exploit hatred toward particular racial, ethnic, or religious groups.
Some propagandists play on pride. Often we can spot appeals to pride by looking for such key phrases as: “Any intelligent person knows that . . .” or, “A person with your education can’t help but see that . . .” A reverse appeal to pride plays on our fear of seeming stupid. Professionals in persuasion are well aware of that.
Slogans and Symbols
Slogans are vague statements that are typically used to express positions or goals. Because of their vagueness, they are easy to agree with. ...

Ask questions: As we have seen, there are many today who would like to ‘delude us with persuasive arguments.’ (Colossians 2:4) Therefore, when we are presented with persuasive arguments, we should ask questions.
First, examine whether there is bias. What is the motive for the message? If the message is rife with name-calling and loaded words, why is that? Loaded language aside, what are the merits of the message itself? Also, if possible, try to check the track record of those speaking. Are they known to speak the truth? If “authorities” are used, who or what are they? Why should you regard this person—or organization or publication—as having expert knowledge or trustworthy information on the subject in question? If you sense some appeal to emotions, ask yourself, ‘When viewed dispassionately, what are the merits of the message?’
Do not just follow the crowd: If you realize that what everybody thinks is not necessarily correct, you can find the strength to think differently. While it may seem that all others think the same way, does this mean that you should? Popular opinion is not a reliable barometer of truth. Over the centuries all kinds of ideas have been popularly accepted, only to be proved wrong later. Yet, the inclination to go along with the crowd persists. The command given at Exodus 23:2 serves as a good principle: “You must not follow after the crowd for evil ends.”

What would have happened if he had been carrying a gun?
Nothing funny in that vid at all.
