It's just unbelievable. No one (neither Roosh nor anyone else) has ever uttered a single thing that could be considered "promoting violence."
The only people who have promoted--and actually committed--violence are the SJW crowd. And yet he says nothing about it. They incite violence on camera and everyone just ignores it.
It amazes me what passes off as journalism these days. There is no fact checking, no sources, no credibility, no real research on the actual situation whatsoever.

I could probably shit out a research paper better than most of these news articles being written. In fact there are better writers here on this forum that write better articles. This just goes to show how much garbage the main stream media puts out these days.
Tory tweeted late in the day that Roosh “and his hate speech have no place in our city and should have no platform here.” He called on those hosting the tour to “do the right thing — cancel this show,” and added: “While free speech is the law in this country, promoting violence against women is wrong.”
Councillor Norm Kelly had led the charge earlier in the day, asking Toronto venues not to let Roosh V. use their spaces for his event.
“Urging all venue locations in Toronto to deny @rooshv the opportunity to use their space,” Kelly tweeted on Monday. “He and his views are not welcome in Toronto.”
“@rooshv's 'take' on life is worthless garbage masquerading as provocative insight,” he said in another post about three hours later.
Valizadeh, who recently got into an intense confrontation with a group of women and men in Montreal, is already planning his “battle of Toronto.”
The city is the last stop on his speaking tour on “self-improvement for men” and “the problems that Western men face.”
Valizadeh, who runs the controversial website Return of Kings, has argued on his own blog, among many other anti-feminist messages, that the incidence of rape could be reduced if the act was made legal on private property.
MPPs Tracy McCharles and Cheri DiNovo also expressed their opposition. “Man calling for legalization of rape to speak in TO,” DiNovo wrote, asking Tory to publicly denounce Roosh V., just as Mayor Denis Coderre of Montreal did on Saturday. He did so later in the day.
Much to the dismay of more than 40,000 people who signed a petition to have Valizadeh stopped at the border, on the grounds that he would be inciting hatred at his events, he successfully entered the country last week.
His Montreal visit wasn’t without bumps, however — in a video posted to YouTube on Saturday night, two women are seen throwing their drinks at him and swearing as a small crowd of people surrounds them.
A group of people then follows him, screaming and cursing, until he is escorted inside a building and the door is shut.
“I expect much of the same treatment” in Toronto, he writes in a post on his forum, instructing his supporters to monitor social media and infiltrate organizing groups, calling his talk in Montreal a “monumental victory.”
Although Valizadeh posted a celebratory video in which he proudly speaks about the success of the Montreal event and cheers are heard in the background, questions are being raised about whether the event even happened.
After Valizadeh’s original venue backed out, he claimed to have found a new one just in time for Saturday. A poster on his forum, however, wrote, “it’s such a shame that they had to cancel the speech.”
The poster, who was apparently in attendance, said 50 or 60 people had come to hear the talk, but a hotel administrator told Valizadeh at the last minute that the it could not continue, and “Roosh was really bummed about it.”
About 100 people, inspired by the petition, attended a Montreal rally against rape culture.
The venue for Valizadeh’s event in Toronto has not been disclosed, but a similar demonstration is planned for noon Saturday at Queen’s Park.
Celebrity ‘Pick-Up Artist’ Who Says Rape Should Be Legal Gets His Just Desserts
The women recognised ‘Roosh V’ and moved in for the kill
A self-proclaimed ‘pick-up artist’ who said rape should be legal has been doused in beer and chased out of a bar by a crowd of angry women.
Daryush Valizadeh - or ‘Roosh V’ - approached women in a bar in Saint-Laurent, Montreal, but was rapidly recognised.
One woman yells, ‘This is Roosh V, this is the guy who says rape should be legal!’
Another says, ‘How dare you f-----g come to Canada?’
The ‘pick-up artist’ is doused in beer and chased out of the bar.
Valizadeh is known for his misogynist views, saying that women should be treated like ‘disposable razors’.
In February, he wrote, ‘I thought about this problem and am sure I have the solution: make rape legal if done on private property. I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds.’
Q: Making rape legal on private property. Was that meant as a piece of satire, or trolling?
A: “If a small child insisted that Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny really exists, would you bother arguing with him? It makes no sense to explain myself one way or the other to those who are intellectually deficient. Anyone with an IQ over 85 can tell satire/trolling from reality.”

Toronto’s mayor is calling for the cancellation of a show by an American blogger who says rape should be legalized on private property.
John Tory says the statements made by Daryush Valizadeh — who goes by the name Roosh V. — amount to hate speech and “have no place in our city.”
In a series of tweets posted Monday night, Tory says that while free speech is protected in Canada, promoting violence against women is wrong.
Teaching women self-defence still the best way to reduce sexual assaults: study
Valizadeh replied to the mayor, saying his speech doesn’t promote violence, harassment or hatred.
The so-called pickup artist is set to speak in Toronto on Saturday — the last stop of a six-city tour.
His appearance in Montreal last weekend was met with protests and denounced by that city’s mayor, Denis Coderre.
One of Valizadeh’s most controversial blog posts, published in February, argues that making “the violent taking of a woman” legal in a private home would eliminate any ambiguity surrounding consent by forcing women to fend off unwanted sexual encounters.
An older entry from 2013 lists 15 reasons why Toronto is “the worst city in North America for women.”
Among them, according to Valizadeh, is the fact that women in the city prefer food to sex and have egos that vastly outstrip their attractiveness.
An online petition calling for Valizadeh to be barred from entering Canada drew more than 43,000 signatures.

Heh.

Idiot reporter falling for our disinformation campaign...days after the fact. A truly stupid person, this typist is.
The poster, who was apparently in attendance, said 50 or 60 people had come to hear the talk, but a hotel administrator told Valizadeh at the last minute that the it could not continue, and “Roosh was really bummed about it.”
Still funny.
