Summons issued by police after racist, anti-mask tirade at Mississauga supermarket
Peel Regional Police say a summons has been issued after a man appeared in a video to hurl anti-Asian and anti-mask rhetoric towards T&T Supermarket employees in Mississauga.“Hate crime incidents impact our community, creating a ripple effect,” Chief Nishan Duraiappah said in a statement Wednesday evening.“It can increase feelings of vulnerability, anxiety, and fear, not only on the individual who has directly been victimized, but, as we have seen with this incident, on the broader community.”The incident happened on July 5 at the store near Mavis Road and Central Parkway West and was captured in a video posted on YouTube.
