Late last night, the Globe and Mail spun the Rob Ford story back into “crazy town” when it released a screenshot of Toronto mayor Rob Ford holding what appears to be a crack pipe, taken from a brand new video that was supposedly shot this past weekend in his sister’s basement. This cracked-out bombshell dropped while Robbie should be running the City of Toronto, as he campaigns for the election coming up this fall. In the wake of this not-all-that-surprising crack-video-screenshot leak, Robbie has taken a leave of absence.
While we all absorb how colossally fucked-up all of this is, allow us to remind you of a recent lawsuit that Robbie got mixed up in. His sister’s ex-boyfriend (yes,\ the same sister he was allegedly smoking crack with this past weekend), Scott MacIntyre, is taking him to court, because he says Rob orchestrated a jailhouse beating while Scott was serving time for drug posession and threatening the mayor’s life.

We made a cartoon about that prison beatdown lawsuit, and we figure now is a good a time as any to show it to you all.
This is part of a new VICE Canada series called Scorpion Dagger’s News Toons, animated by the incomparable GIF wizard, Scorpion Dagger. Expect more episodes soon.
