    Killing someone over a dispute over a restaurant bill. That seems … equitable.

    What the fucking Hell is WRONG with people!?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Shayela Nasrin says that days after Sharif Rahman’s death, she still sometimes feels as if she’s moments away from hearing the familiar sound of her husband opening the front door and coming home from work.

    Before long, though, the reality that she and her daughter will have to navigate the rest of their lives without the Owen Sound, Ont., restaurant owner and community volunteer sets in.

    Rahman was an incredibly hard worker who was heavily involved in the community, always lent a hand to those in need and loved to provide food to those without, Nasrin added.

    As police investigate and the community rallies around her family, Nasrin now looks to her six-year-old daughter, Shaikha, to whom she has to explain why she’ll never again be able to eat her father’s food, hear his voice or see his smile.

    On Sunday, hundreds of people lined the streets of Owen Sound to pay respects during Rahman’s funeral 10 days after the fatal assault, displaying a level of solidarity Nasrin never expected to see.

    People showed support for Rahman’s family in the days following his assault, and later his death, with flowers and messages on his storefront, as well as a silent vigil and drum circle.
