This is just great for the mayor.
The current topic du jour at work is precisely this. Concensus seems to be "I don't like Mayor Ford but this is going too far". Many comment how they would unleash their dogs if someone was peeping behind their backyard and they had kids home. The Star has clearly lost the war for popular opinion, and the mayor has gained an incredible amount of sympathy. Sympathy leads to votes anyway, good job Star.
Don't you work in a VERY conservative environment? (banking/economics) That might explain why you and your coworkers are so supportive of Ford. He can't do anything wrong in their eyes but most other people are pretty much asking what the hell is wrong with our mayor. Is he losing his mind? It's not like he thought the photographer was a stranger. Ford knew who this guy was, so he can't claim he was afraid for his children's safety. This guy wasn't a perv on the prowl, he was a well known Star reporter. (an award winning one at that) Ford's reaction, as usual, was way over the top and quite unprofessional. It's certainly not the way I'd expect a mayor to act.
