Gerald Stanley Not Guilty

I agree completely but the ones making it racist don't understand or even care to understand about this. They probably even know they are on shaky ground and are grasping at anything that might work as an excuse. When you are trespassing, armed to the teeth and pissed to the eyeballs, would anyone expect to see a red carpet rolled out?
It never was about race until some racists tried to make it so. Basically a false flag.
He fired 2 warning shots into the air, the 3rd shot did not fire (some news reported this as a jam, but it was not, it was a delayed fire), as he brought the weapon down it discharged and hit the kid in the head. The only thing the Farmer is "guilty" of is reckless use of a firearm. The weapon should not have been pointed "at" anyone as he brought it down. He should not have been discharging (warning shots) into the air. Where the hell did he think those rounds were going to end up when the fell? If he had handled the weapon properly, no one would have been shot when it finally did discharge.
Now, that being said, those "kids" should not have been on his property, period.

Agreed, the amount of racism shown by "First "Nations" against "white" has been horrendous. Plus, those of First Nations heritage that have supported the White farmer have been accused by "First Nations" of lying about their heritage and called "whitey" and "apples".
I had one of those at the range only once to me in many years of shooting.....and the rule of keeping your firearm pointed downrange for a full minute before even attempting to manually eject the cartridge is there for a reason.....
My understanding was that Stanley had fired the two rounds and then reached in through the driver's side window and was trying to yank the keys out of the ignition when the gun went off.
Two rules:
One, in any such situation, when the police show up, STFU.
Two, when the perps are trying to flee, let them.
I am sorry that a young man lost his life and that the Stanley family lives have been turned upside down by this tragedy.
Imagine how different the outcome had the youths in the car not been thoroughly intoxicated - so much so that at least two of them were passed out, were in possession of a loaded rifle, and had already caused trouble at another farm. Had they simply been sober and in need of help with a flat tire, respectful of other's property - not trying to start an ATV and then crashing into a Stanley vehicle, who knows what might have happened. There are consequences to one's actions, sadly in this case the consequences resulted in a death.
In all the resulting hue and cry, I have yet to hear from the family of the dead man concerning where they were when the this group set out for a day of drinking, shooting off a rifle and trying to steal a vehicle? Where did the rifle the group had come from? Why were they in possession of a loaded weapon? Lost among the vitriol being spouted by the family and supporters is any sense of responsibility by them for allowing their children to act in such a reckless manner. Where is their culpability in this matter?

Neither you nor I nor anyone else on here is the lawful judge, jury nor executioner of wayward youth or anyone else. You do not have the right to kill just because you think that you do.
nope
and he didn't. It was an unfortunate accident, it was preventable, but an accident non the less.
If you look back a dozen posts, you'll see photos of some idiot's beloved rifle. A few of you guys arm yourselves for just such an opportunity to kill some intruder. You are sick monsters.
I realized you are an idiot 50 posts back. For Christ sakes quit digging!
No, but some of us here do have a handle on common sense and quite often with a little thought are able to arrive at a reasonable answer!
No one in the world is responsible for the behaviour of another adult, with a possible exceptions of someone incarcerated or in the looney bin.
3 of Colten's so called friends sold their souls to the Crown and walked away just as free as Mr Stanley
You won’t hear those details from the family. The facts that were laid out by the group that were with Bouchie that day is a narrative that most indigenous groups, our PM, and others shouting racism do not want to talk about. It exposes many issues that go much deeper than a few innocent kids with car trouble.
No one seems to want to talk about the fact that the group started drinking that day at Bouchie’s grandmothers house. No one wants to talk about the fact that the reason they were driving on a rim without a tire is because they were all drunk out of their mind, hit a culvert and peeled the tire off the rim, or that the day's other activities... after downing a 60 pounder of crown royal and a bottle of vodka was some target practice with a rifle, or that the reason the rifle stock was later found broken was because it was used to try and break into a vehicle on a neighbouring property.
I think the indigenous community, our PM, and others who are crying racism need to look a little deeper. It’s easy to blame it all on racism. if we really want to find a solution to a very real, very complex problem, we are going to have to be honest with ourselves rather than finding scapegoats to conveniently blame all our problems on. It's going to take honesty and effort, two things that appear to be in very short supply when it comes to addressing real problems in this country.
