What's the chronology of the video, the prison beating and Ford's impromptu visit to the Don Jail?


Murder rant video: Before March 19, 2012 - according to Scott MacIntyre
Beating: March 22, 2012
Ford's visit to Metro West: March 25, *2013*

I'm not buying this. Let's remember the source of the claim is not exactly reliable either.

If the murder rant video is about Scott MacIntyre, then the off camera comment "These kids are pros buddy" does not make sense.

Also, in the video, the off camera voice says "After you win the by-election...". That would place it around the time of the conflict of interest decision that was supposed to boot Ford from office - between November 2012 and January 2013. Too late to be about a beating in March 2012.

This doesn't mean that the beating wasn't to protect Ford, but I don't see a smoking gun.
 
From the Statement of Claim:

Liability of Ford, Aboodowleh, and Petros

55. Ford, Aboodowleh, and Petros conspired among themselves and with others whose identity is known to them but not known to the plaintiff, to arrange for the attack on the plaintiff and to cause him serious harm. In particular, Aboodowleh, acting as Ford's agent and with Ford's explicit or tacit approval, contacted Petros and Williams and instructed them to send a message to the plaintiff, first in the form of threats of physical harm, and then in the form of a brutal assault and battery of the plaintiff.

56. Ford and Aboodowleh arranged for persons employed by MWDC, whose identity is known to Ford and Aboodowleh but not known to the plaintiff, to facilitate the exposure of the plaintiff to Petros, and to facilitate the attack on the plaintiff on March 23, 2012, and more particularly, to arrange for the plaintiff’s detention in range 1B, and to ensure that there was no supervision or surveillance of the area where the plaintiff was assaulted.

57. Petros agreed to and ultimately did carry out the instructions of Ford and Aboodowleh, or in the alternative arranged for others to do so.

58. The various matters set out in paragraphs 55 to 57 above and elsewhere in this statement of claim were the subject of communications between the defendants during visits by Ford and Aboodowleh (or either of these) to MWDC, and on calls and messages sent and received by the defendants on their mobile telephones.

59. Ford and Aboodowleh knew that the plaintiff would suffer physical harm as a result of their actions, which included instructing Petros to send a message to the plaintiff that he should not expose Ford's illicit drug use or his association with criminals.

60. As a result of the conduct of the defendants, or the conduct of those for whom the defendants are liable, as set out above, the plaintiff has suffered damages as set out above.

61. The conduct of the defendants, or those for whom they are vicariously liable, is sufficiently reprehensible, oppressive and high-handed so as to justify the court's denunciation with an award of exemplary damages, and further justifies penal damages.
 
I've always wondered, what is the context of the above photo of Ford, that he would be making that facial expression? Anyone know the origin of the photo?

Could be the "kids" in jail who would be carrying out the beating.
