Comment on Montrealer who dumped water on unhoused man's face issues public apology.

The title is unreasonably generous. The apology is entirely self serving and meaningless.
- He doesn’t apologize for throwing water for the man - only for posting it on social media.
- He tries to frame a narrative that the victim deserved it
- He doesn’t offer any sort of reparations or even an insignificant donation to a group that works with people generally.
It’s clearly only to ensure his business is not affected, reduce the threat of prosecution (being considered by law enforcement, presumably for assault), and to encourage leniency from the judge if it gets that far.
Fuck that guy.
