Newsstand Cafe: Brendan Doyle and Islamophobic Views

newsstand cafe: He'd been coming in on almost daily for a coffee since 2010 and often stayed for an hour or two on the patio in the evenings, Doyle said in a Facebook message Sunday evening to The Canadian Press, according to The Chronicle Herald. He was the kind of lonely person who would talk your ear off if you let him. Brendan Doyle, the former owner of recently closed Read's Newsstand & Cafe in Fredericton, said he also asked Matthew Vincent Raymond to stop frequenting his coffee shop after he allegedly expressed Islamophobic views and shared his dislike for Syrian refugees with patrons. Raymond has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder after a shooting Friday in New Brunswick's capital that claimed the lives of police officers Robb Costello and Sara Burns, as well as Bobbie Lee Wright and her boyfriend, Donnie Robichaud. He expressed an interest in owning the various high-end bikes in the magazines, but his interest in guns seemed to be related to his video games. While in the cafe, Matt also looked at magazines about bikes and about guns, Doyle said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
