WATCH: Conservative activist bloodied and bruised at pro-trans rally in Canada: ‘Police did nothing’
While Chris Elston was speaking to a journalist, a trans activist lunged at his throat, swung at his head, and pulled him to the ground
Popular conservative activist "Billboard Chris" appeared to be violently assaulted by aggressive transgender activists at a pro-trans rally in Vancouver, Canada yesterday.
Though police seemed to break up the assault after it began, the conservative activist stated that Vancouver PD "did nothing" to keep the militant trans rally goer from assaulting him beyond making sure he wasn’t injured more in the attack.
He also spoke to one of the officers monitoring the rally that day, who argued that both sides were at fault, pushing back on the conservative’s claim that he was peacefully protesting at the trans rally,
Billboard Chris, whose full name is Chris Elston, posted intense footage of several altercations that happened between him and rally goers on a common green in a local Vancouver neighborhood that day.
Initial video recorded by Elston captured him joining an ally videographer friend as he debated with one of the rally goers. While this was occurring, pro-trans activists ominously surrounded them and started making physical contact. As Billboard Chris tried to push through to his ally, one activist impeded his path and forcefully told him, "Absolutely don’t touch me."
Another activist, who appeared to be a female with a trans flag, rushed up to Elston with a pink marker and started scribbling on him. "Oh, here we go," Chris observed, "I’m getting painted on already."
Suddenly the camera jerked wildly, indicating that Elston was being pushed or hit by someone out of frame. As it happened, he could be heard saying, "Been here five seconds, and I’m already getting assaulted."
As the first physical confrontation ended, Elston asked his friend, "Oh, am I bleeding already?" His friend responded, "Yeah, you got a scratch." Additional footage posted subsequently showed him with a cut a on the bridge of his nose – likely the injury he was speaking about in the video.
Elston’s friend recorded him standing in front of the activists answering questions asked by independent journalist about his time at the rally. As he spoke a trans woman approached both men and began berating him loudly, stating, "You suck. F--- you. F--- you, you’re not wanted. F--- you. You’re a f----- idiot. F--- you!"
As Elston attempted to speak into the mic about his experience that day, the "F--- you" chant became louder and other activists began surrounding him, joining in with the chorus of profanity.
