we know why they don’t give names at times,it’s because they are not white or blacks,but it always comes out,from real journalist.sorry about the spelling
I’m not disputing anything said here, but the dump truck driver who threw an empty bottle of Crown Royal Apple on my lawn at 3pm when the school kids were walking home, was white. Also a contractor for the city. His supervisor and I had a nice chat at their job site next street over.
Truck driver + Brampton man= drunk Indian dot not feather. Same old story nothing gets done.
Name – Guneet Mavi
Brampton man is from India
You know the driver isn’t white or they would’ve basically doxxed him/posted his name along with pictures. Though being from Bramladesh is a direct giveaway
