Premier Ontario insta a padres a castigar a niños tras asalto a comandante de cadetes

El 10 de noviembre el premier de Ontario, Doug Ford, instó a los padres a dar a sus hijos una “pequeña paliza” después de que dos niños fueran vinculados al asalto contra el comandante de los Cadetes Aéreos Canadienses, Kenneth Kunkel, en Hamilton, Ontario. La policía detuvo a un niño de 12 años y a una mujer de 48 años tras atacar al comandante de 59 años mientras supervisaba a los cadetes que vendían amapolas del Día del Recuerdo en un centro comercial de Hamilton.

El comandante, el capitán Kenneth Kunkel, sufrió graves lesiones, incluida una lesión medular que requirió cirugía el mismo día y le dejó sin poder caminar, según informó el hospital. Según CityNews, los jóvenes habían soplado una bocina de aire a los cadetes antes del enfrentamiento.
