Corrections Canada will ask police to investigate whether a hate crime was committed when a federal inmate appeared online in a video making a racial slur while taunting other prisoners who assaulted him.
Corrections Canada will ask police to investigate whether a hate crime was committed when a federal inmate appeared online in a video making a racial slur while taunting other prisoners who assaulted him.
Joshua Erdodi, an inmate at Joyceville Institution in Kingston, was nearly beaten to death in a riot at the medium-security prison on April 24. He was stabbed in the head and neck and he was beaten with weightlifting equipment by a group of black inmates. Erdodi, who is white, underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries and was recuperating in a Kingston hospital when he was visited by family and friends with a video camera.
A 30-second clip of Erdodi speaking to the camera from his hospital bed, his legs shackled, was posted in mid June on a public Facebook page apparently created to allow people to wish him well during his recovery.
"Fuck you, niggers," says Erdodi, reclining on a hospital bed in a pale blue gown, an intravenous tube protruding from his left arm, as he flips his middle finger at the camera.
