Vancouver police now investigating violent assault by trans activist against peaceful protestor

A Trans Day of Visibility rally was held in Vancouver on April 1, 2023, with hundreds attending in support and some in opposition.

A protestor known as Billboard Chris was there peacefully exercising his right to protest, carrying a sign around his neck.

Known for attending rallies and speaking out on transitioning children, Billboard Chris is well known for his activism.

Several videos capture Billboard Chris being assaulted by a Trans activist at the rally. The assault was clearly witnessed by dozens of police officers who were also on the scene.

As you can see in a video he posted after the rally, Billboard Chris clearly sustained some injuries. In addition, he discusses the police's refusal to lay any charges.

Following several videos of Billboard Chris being assaulted going viral on social media, the Vancouver Police Department has announced that an investigation is underway.

The VPD Twitter post reads, “We have launched an investigation into an incident that occurred at yesterday’s trans-rights rally at Grandview Park. We support everyone’s right to peacefully assemble and protest, but we will also hold people accountable for acts of violence and criminal behaviour.”
