At first glance the incident does seem excessive but sometimes a second hand report is incomplete.
An older "gentleman" used to cruise through the streets of the North End of Sydney at very slow speeds ( 10 to 20 kph). He would wave and give odd leers and grins to all the kids who were in their yards and out on the street. The behaviour would make the hair on the back of my neck raise up and give me chills.
So, if someone followed the "older gentleman home" and asked him what his problem was,maybe that would have cleared the problem up?
This is an impossible task because how does someone in Ontario form an unbiased opinion of Nova Scotia? It seems most opinions these days are influenced by the media, which tends to focus on the most sensational stories (Halifax harbour fiasco, Sydney tar ponds and so on).
And when you speak of Nova Scotia, are you talking about the bar scene in Halifax, the lobster dinner circuit in Cape Breton, or community life in rural NS?

My vote is for the police.
