The incident happened at an Interior Health clinic held at Trinity United Church on Jul. 13, 2021. There were several protestors at the clinic, including Orydzuk.

He was captured on two videos speaking with security guard Anmol Singh, a man of South Asian descent. The videos, one taken by Orydzuk and the other by Infotel.ca reporter Carli Berry assigned to a story on the clinic, were entered into evidence during the trial last year.

In them, he can be heard loudly calling Singh disgusting, telling him to go back to his own country, and that he is not wanted here. Singh had intervened in a discussion Orydzuk was having with Berry to de-escalate what he believed was a 害羞草研究所渉eated conversation.害羞草研究所

In handing down his decision, Judge Ruse noted that while Crown counsel had proven that the language Orydzuk used towards Singh was insulting and obscene, he could not find that it applied to causing a disturbance. Other witnesses testified that they were emotionally distraught having heard the exchange.
