That’s quite fucked up. Basically only fined for not appearing in court.
Seems to me that the papers got their line crossed, because he worked for a Swiss Company, tho perhaps he is a double national, which would explain things.
It would also explain the leniency and the performative military stunt in court, someone is free to correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that having a military background carries a lot of status in the anglosphere.

semi serious question, but from what military engagement did a Swiss soldier get ptsd?

You can’t go around backhanding people just as much as you can’t go around calling people racist for attending a conference 🤷🏽♂️

Fafo. Don’t be surprised to get a face slap if you insult someone. If you have a big mouth, you need to be able to back it up.

What a disgusting piece of shit.
It keeps saying he is Swiss, but his behaviour in court, including standing at attention and saluting seems red flags, our Army is not quite that performative and anyone who would act like that in civilian clothing would be seen as a weirdo. Checking online it seems [he is a war veteran of the British Armed Forces](https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/court-gives-arms-contractor-discharge-on-assault-against-protester-in-ottawa/article_fba80a0d-dfd4-5ec9-a71c-8517ea529760.html), allegedly suffering from PTSD.
