Stanly found "Not Guilty" in Boushie's death.

By appealing the decision. If gun-happy arsehole was found guilty, he would have filed an appeal, too. You can keep on doing that until the Supreme Court of Canada rules on the case. It can go no further, after that.
More about your right to resist with proportional force when people are stealing your property.
You keep forgetting Boushie was armed.
You can not appeal the decision of a jury, unless they were improperly directed by the judge.
Appeals are for errors in law.
Are you stupid enough to believe the result of the appeal will be a guilty verdict?
Please do.
The state hates those who act independently, so I do expect Stanley to be charged with every minor firearms offense they can think up (like Ian Thompson), and he will be disarmed, at least legally..........but the murder trial is over.
Not guilty.
So....having completely run out of arguments, now you're going to get abusive?
Typical.
Sir Richard Burton (the explorer, not the actor) was once sarcastically asked by a doctor: "so Mr. Burton, how do you feel after you kill a man?"
"Quite jolly, actually" answered Burton, "And how do you feel after you kill a man?"

If civilization ever collapses, we may have a need again for people like you. More likely, we will need people like you to protect us from other people like you.
More likely everyone will be dead and the religious people will finally be satisfied.
Don't forget, "kill a gay baby whale for Jesus."
Oh My! I certainly have upset the white supremacists today. Bunch of white snowflake pussies. Bigots gotta bigot. Y'all can kiss my rosy red eye.
It seems to me that it's you and the other SJW snowflakes in this forum that are upset...
Do you really think this farmer, wouldn't have done the exact same thing if it had been a bunch of white punks, instead of natives ......
If you think not, you are a dumber wannabe than I thought!

Under Section 40 of the Criminal Code, which deals with defending your house - everyone who is in possession of a dwelling house is justified in using as much force as necessary, to prevent any person from forcibly breaking into or entering the dwelling house without lawful authority.
The court must have determined that shooting Boushie was justified. He trespassed on a property, was committing a crime, and took a weapon with him. It would be easy for the defense to establish that taking a weapon with him when attempting to rob a house meant Boushie was ready to use it, if necessary.
Once it was established that Boushie was prepared to use his rifle during the commission of a crime, then Stanley's actions became easier to justify. Stanley used enough force as was necessary. To my mind, that was the crux of the argument and the reason for the not guilty verdict.
