The protester in question, Jeh Custer, was interviewed on the CBC at 5:15 PM EST. Blood was smeared on his face. He and his fellow interviewees took pains to describe how Custer's face was smashed into a wall, and dragged across it, smearing blood everywhere.**********
Yes, indeed, it must have been a forceful impact if his face was still bloody three hours after the event in question.
Except...hmmm. Looking a bit fishy now. It seems that a CBC camera crew caught footage of Mr. Custer as he walked out of Parliament, and...would you look at that?! There's no blood on his face, nor is he holding any bandages to his skin.
Mr. Custer has some explaining to do. Or maybe the group's leader, an NDP activist, might wish to comment, instead.
