A Sleazy, deplorable man. Deserved to be charged with a crime.

A Pride event protester who took a selfie with a terminally ill patient has been charged with criminal harassment, police say

* A man has been criminally charged after posting a selfie with a terminally ill man on Facebook.
* He posted the photo after the patient's daughter criticized his call to cancel a Pride event.
* He claimed he had the "best of intentions," but others say it was an "intimidation tactic."

A man has been charged with criminal harassment after he posted a photo of a woman's terminally ill father on social media following an argument about a Pride event, police said Friday.

Authorities said that Bubba Christopher Michael Pollock "consistently harassed" 36-year-old Britt Leroux on social media. He took this further when he traveled from London, Ontario, to a palliative care unit in Windsor, where he took a selfie with Leroux's terminally ill father.

Leroux had criticized Pollock online because he had called for Pride events in London to be canceled, according to CBC News, but they had not previously spoken.

Leroux told CBC News that she was shocked when she opened Facebook and saw her father in the background of Pollock's selfie, which he had posted in the comments of one of her posts.

"At first I thought it was fake. I called the nurses and said, 'Are there red roses in dad's room?' and they said yes, and that's when I called the police."

Here's what I don't get, how does someone get "consistently harassed" on FB? Anyone that annoys me gets banned. Harassment over.

That said, what on earth was Bubba hoping to accomplish? Asshole.

That was totally a threat.  How did he even get into the facility?  The nursing home my mother was in had security, so no one other than "approved" family could get to where the patient was.
