AGREE! This will not end well for the individual in that video. That is assault imo.
I can't make out what he said about being Asain at the beginning.
I don't think I've heard an opinion from an actual lawyer yet, but the police's position seems to support the opinion that sounded most correct to me: a property owner has the right to use reasonable force to remove someone who has been asked and refused to leave the owner's property that they have no right to occupy. (Criminal Code s. 35)
However, while the staff's actions may have been legally okay, the company clearly did not think it was okay for an employee to take such action. There's also nothing preventing the "victim" from claiming in civil court that the guy's force was excessive and caused injury (emotional or physical). Common sense also says that you should let the police be the ones to exercise physical force when you have the opportunity to do so.
