with all due respect, I am well aware at this point of your obsessive need to justify or take the opposite opinion of every post on this forum just for the sake of doing so , but lets break this one down....
1. It was Halloween, any rule on wearing masks should have been stated before the game as its done in stadiums around the world this time of year
2. "Contacting" a supervisor was not something Mr. Gabriel was capable of seeing as he did not know who the supervisor was. He was limited to nothing more than requesting one which would fall on the rent a cop's willingness to do so which is not likely as it would have put more accountability on him.
3. He was Argos alumni which means he is a guest of the team, he should have stated who specifically the guard was dealing with for this reason.
4.whether he said anything more vulgar than take off is pure speculation on your part. Mr. Gabriel stated he said "Take Off" and until he is challenged on what he said by a witness than I have no problem taking him at his word.
5.There should be a certain sense of common decorum in situations like these, following everything by the book will usually end badly. Qualified and professional security guards usually follow that example. I believe a 20 something security guard with backup a radio call away will act in a more aggressive manner than a 70+ year old male, Its not speculation, its simple psychology and biology, lol. Everyone should respect everyone in this situation to avoid what happened. Mr. Gabriel should respect that he is a visitor and should follow rules and the security should respect their elder and realize his is a senior and is more vulnerable and there is no need to swing a big stick in this situation.
6. In th end, If Mr. Gabriel was physically grabbed or even touched in this situation , and if he was made to feel physically threatened by a group of intimidating men then by the legality of it alone he is in the right and probably has course to sue unless they can prove that he was in any way a threat to himself of someone else at the game.
