Video of a Racial Attack Against Jay Phillips in Courtenay, BC
July 8th, 2009RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) are investigating an incident from Courtenay, B.C. (British Columbia – a province in Canada where BC Bud is from) in which a 38 year old Jay Phillips was attacked in what the police believe was a racial attack. The video shows the attackers – three young, Caucasian males throwing punching and yelling racial slurs at Jay Phillips who’s of African descent.
Jay Phillips works as a landscaper in Courtenay, a town about 220 km northwest of Victoria. He was walking past the fast food restaurant last Friday when a truck full of people yelling racial slurs passed by. The red truck then pulled over and three males jumped out, surrounded Jay Phillips and confronted him. He was able to fight back and reported the incident to the police so as to prevent such attacks from happening to other kids who may not be able to protect themselves as well as he did.
The video of the attack was posted on YouTube, however who recorded it is not known. After review of the video, the police had said that they were questioning the witnesses and admitted that there may have been racial elements in the attack. Jay Phillips told the media that:
I think everyone should be allowed to walk down the street with their head held up and proud of who they are. Everybody.
