Wiederholungstäter greift mutmaßlich Touristen in Vancouver an

“Police said the defenceless woman was punched in the head, knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly, her injuries requiring hospitalization.Security cameras captured the incident and police arrested Massimo Falvo, 30, at a rooming house on Pender Street just a few hours later. He’s now charged with aggravated assault and remains behind bars.

“He was on probation at the time of this offence for similar offences that occurred in the past,” Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison said.

In 2024 Falvo was convicted of assaulting four different people.

All the incidents involved individuals being punched in the head. The BC Prosecution Service confirmed he received a sentence of three years probation and one day in custody, taking into account 22 days of pre-sentencing custody.

Even Falvo was surprised, posting “3 years probation for 4 separate assault charges. I’m lucky I didn’t go to jail” on social media.”

Putting people in prisons doesn’t work! It literally would have worked here. Most crime is committed by a small percentage of people. Once they show you who they are—believe them.

Three years probation for four assaults is idiotic.
