The Crown has approved a charge of aggravated assault against an anti-LGBT street preacher accused of breaking a man's leg during a confrontation in Vancouver's West End this summer. Dorre Shepherd Love, 42, and another man were preaching along Davie Street on Aug. 22 when he was confronted by sportscaster Justin Morissette. Then, according to Morrissette, the second man put one leg behind his and wrenched his body until the bones in his left leg "snapped." The aggravated assault charge against Love was approved on Thursday and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. The attack left Morrissette with two broken leg bones and a dislocated knee, but he has said he doesn't regret intervening.
