Mayor of Toronto Smokes Crack

A cellphone video that appears to show Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine is being shopped around Toronto by a group of Somali men involved in the drug trade.

Two Toronto Star reporters have viewed the video three times. It appears to show Ford in a room, sitting in a chair, wearing a white shirt, top buttons open, inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe. Ford is incoherent, trading jibes with an off-camera speaker who goads the clearly impaired mayor by raising topics including Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and the Don Bosco high school football team Ford coaches.

“I’m f---ing right-wing,” Ford appears to mutter at one point. “Everyone expects me to be right-wing. I’m just supposed to be this great.…” and his voice trails off. At another point he is heard calling Trudeau a “***.” Later in the 90-second video he is asked about the football team and he appears to say (though he is mumbling), “they are just f---ing minorities.”

The Star had no way to verify the authenticity of the video, which appears to clearly show Ford in a well-lit room. The Star was told the video was shot during the past winter at a house south of Dixon Rd. and Kipling Avenue. What follows is an account based on what both reporters viewed on the video screen. Attempts to reach the mayor and members of his staff to get comment on this story were unsuccessful.

A lawyer retained by Ford, Dennis Morris, said that Thursday evening’s publication by the U.S.-based Gawker website of some details related to the video was “false and defamatory.” Morris told the Star that by viewing any video it is impossible to tell what a person is doing. “How can you indicate what the person is actually doing or smoking?” Morris said.

Gotta respect a mayor who makes it a habit to hang with his constituents on their home base.

Rob Ford is a fat fuck and an embarrassment. That being said, this article seems to be a bunch of bullshit.

What? You doubt the veracity of a hack reporter who says he saw a video but doesn't have the video even though it was offered to him? Man, you should work for the TSA.

Rob Ford is a fat fuck..

My first thought at seeing the picture was that's got to be the fattest crackhead I ever saw.

So, ya'll don't smoke crack in your free time, too?

Huh.

Gotta respect a mayor who makes it a habit to hang with his constituents with freebase.

FTFY.

 

[Further]

You can't tell from the video if its crack, ready rock, meth or BBQ ribs.
