Just a week after video of a man threatening a non-Muslim man with a bat and calling him “ISIS” went viral, the bat-wielding Islamophobe’s identity has been revealed — and his dad is pissed.

As the Canadian Broadcasting Company reported, the man shown in the video (recorded by the subject of his ire) is named Mark Phillips, and he’s a personal injury lawyer in a Ontario, Canada.

He’s also the great-grandson of Nathan Phillips, Toronto’s first Jewish mayor who was known as “the mayor of all the people” commemorated in Nathan Phillips Square outside of Toronto City Hall.

“His father is very upset,” the lawyer’s uncle, Jeff Phillips, said. “I’m not involved with him.”

1. Hmmmm. Was going to cause injury to random man and is a personal injury lawyer

2. It looks like a career ender and an easy lawsuit for the victim

As a personal injury lawyer, he probably has $$. Not anymore.

3. I see treatment in his future if he wants to keep his license to practice law.

His best defense is probably to claim some sort of treatable MH issue rather than substance abuse or flaming racism.

I wouldn’t choose him to represent me.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other... and each as irreverent as the other. But gosh darn it... it's the only mechanism we have to advertise our relevance.

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

I'd like to see which DUers will come here and argue that this terrorist didn't have a political aim so I can know who is still desperately trying to deny white terror.

Dude terrorized this family and broke someone's ribs. Sounds pretty violent and intimidating to me. Even if he was trying to make Canada great again. And they are supposed to be liberal up there.
