Saskatchewan Farmer shot at in home by Robber.

Gerald "got away with it" due to the reason he was NOT GUILTY. It's interesting how your chances of getting hurt are greatly increased when you are a criminal on someone else's property. The tragedy is some parents do not raise their children to be outstanding citizens, and Colten died.

Recently I suggested there is no use or need for M15 or M16, maybe I was wrong. If you had a farm intruder and you lit up a path to him with a fully auto maybe the word would travel, don't go to his farm to rob him, his wife is a better shot then he is!

Using that logic, the USA must be the safest most crime free country on the planet considering most every rural American is armed to the teeth with every kind of fire power imaginable, and with the USA having the most lax gun laws in the western world, and the legal right to defend oneself it’s a win win for everybody ...hell, Trump just signed a bill giving the emotionally disturbed access to firearms to help ensure everyone’s safety...
Trudeau better step up to the plate and get with the program.

I say it sarcastically, but wouldn't the thief in the case I posted have stained his shorts if Grandpa kicked open the door and shouted RAMBO as he let it go fully auto!!

I do not have the answer, I think there needs to be changes to our laws. Currently even 2 nd degree murder draws 4-5 years, there is something wrong with this in my opinion. What would you feel is a fair sentence in this case in the story?

I'd love to see 4 years but likely will not.

As my Pap said often, "When guns are outlawed,
only the outlaws will have guns."

Now with the heightened awareness, I suspect there will be more.

Great, another 120 year setback to the
range wars.

Now we wait for PM Hair'n'Sox to wisely comment on this horrific incident.[/quote]

The PM has much better things to worry about than an isolated incident in a rural area.[/quote]

He will likely feel sorry for the broken window. It is clear that he was deeply concerned about a drunken crime spree near Biggar that didn't go as planned for the underage drinkers.

Now that Trudeau and Jody Wilson-Raybould the racists have given the nod that natives can't be guilty, natives are emboldened to start shootin' everything and everyone, and probably get sympathy for doing it.

Didn't a 54 year old white man just shoot a 22 year old first nations man in the head and get away with it?

The man was declared not guilty, he didn't "get away with it". "First nations" is immaterial. The underage drunk was on a crime spree with his drunken buddies.Why haven't charges been laid for an earlier vehicle theft attempt which included vandalism? Why no charges for a loaded firearm in the vehicle, for drunk driving, for his fellow criminals contributing to the delinquency of a minor by buying him alcohol? No charges of lying or uttering false statements in court. All kinds of favoritism and preferential treatment for the Indians.

time will tell, but jt has made it very clear that its hunting season on white farmers , even after not being found guilty

The definition of criminal is arbitrary, FN people used to be criminals be default. None of us are outstanding citizens, plenty of FN people I lived with on the reservation were not outstanding people, and yet I never pulled a gun on any of them.

"Crime spree" I wouldn't call trespassing a crime spree, not even close. This is just more rhetoric that I initially saw on the original RCMP report. The idea is to implement an image of a bunch of drunken natives marching onto private property shooting guns and whooping it up. We live in Canada, our country is filled with rambunctious youth that do things like this, yet natives get painted as drunks or thugs while others get painted as disrespectful youth. The only person there with a record of taking a life is Stanley.

Yes, Ken7, it would appear to be a wise choice to bed down with Winchester snuggled beside you.

This is not the Saskatchewan that I grew up in, but an unrecognizable twisted lawless land. Imagine the close death call the homeowner had when bullet missed his head trying only to defend his property from intruder. A free for all.

Now we wait for PM Hair'n'Sox to wisely comment on this horrific incident.

Like the Boushie incident? That was isolated. Man you're annoying.

[mexi cali]

How the heck do you take an incident and turn it into a "trend?"

How do you use this incident to suddenly claim "gun rights for all?"

I think the reality is you're in need of an excuse to justify guns. No one is coming into your home with a gun. No one is coming onto your property with a gun. No one is trying to kill your family. Statically speaking you're better to be fearful of a soviet satellite crashing into your home than an armed gunman.

Stop making small incidents into huge trends. Look what that got the US.

You know who Ken7 was in his proffesional life, right?

And where his home is?

[mexi cali]

In the same link that Ken7 posted, also an article on Mr. Stanley having to answer to
7 counts of Improper storage of firearms.

And rightly so. My guns were always at the ready. Not much point in having them if you have to run around trying to marry the pieces together but I also know that the law would have hit me hard had I been caught.

For us the Boushie trial is one of thousands upon thousands of unjust cases settled in the court for FN. For you its another day in the great white north.

For you it's a great new excuse for what is likely a long and endless racist way of life. Using those tragic events to spread your hatred as if you are some poor victim therefore it's ok to show how racist your are is quite disgusting and Boushies tragedy deserves respect and changes to improve such relations is Saskatchewan, but all you desire is an excuse to hate more.

Nothing improves, if people don't improve.
