Has too much time on their hands
Where was Trudeau's outrage when Peter Kosid's justice was never found? Oh wait.......

Well fisher' - I'll tell you something - it would be a very very unusual for this incident to happen down here - right from the start - drunk or not people would not be so brazen as to attempt to steal vehicles from a home in broad daylight while the owner is at home - no doubt these characters have done this before and got away with it so they figure lets go we have nothing to fear - If that happened down here there wouldn't have been a trail in the first place - the shooter would have got a metal - well on second thought there might have been a trail - to convict the survivors from the shooting - and hey both the crown and the defense had their shot in picking the jury - so being all white doesn't bother me one bit - the moral of the story is - don't get drunk and don't steal something

Picked up this interesting tidbit about Boushies background;
" Funny no one has brought up the 1994 shooting when Bouchies uncle and another man executed 2 farmers in their home, when is the chief and his family going to take ownership for the environment he was raised in? "
The above just shows the environment he, [Boushie ] was raised in.
They can kill someone, but there is hell to pay when one of theirs is killed.
Oh the injustice of it all!

Of course...whatever suits the narrative. It wasn't the hangfire that necessarily saw Stanley acquitted, it was the lying criminals that the Crown chose to put on the stand.
"Camo" is perfectly acceptable as a favorite colour.

This is one of the better written pieces I've seen. http://www.newsoptimist.ca/opinion/c...ial-1.23171591
There was a good piece on the jury selection as well. Seems as fair as could ever have been. Changing just means allowing very biased people to stay on that can't be impartial.

Ultimately it was an unfortunate loss of life that would have been prevented had they not been carrying out a drunk armed robbery. Trying to steal someone's truck is just not worth risking your life over, so stay off private properly and don't steal.

It will only get worse. Trudough is announcing sweeping changes for First Nations today. It will likely mean more money for band chiefs, less accountability for that money and likely increases powers to obstruct justice and block resource exploitation. The mining, oil and forestry industries in this country have just been mortally wounded. If you are employed in them or anything connected well...too bad.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

Why all the fuss over one dead bum - thousands of innocent people are killed every day on our highways, in the military and from diseases - Stanley did society a favor - who knows what other crimes this guy would have done throughout his life time - he should get the Stanley Steamer award

JP sometimes your posts cross the line, this is one of them. What about the innocents killed at school yesterday are they just collateral damage? Where is your outrage over their loss of lives?
