It seems unusual that out of all those potential jurors, the defense was able to find 12 racists and the prosecution agreed to all of them.

The Second Amendment has merely created a means through which violent people can obtain lethal ordnance and act on their dark intentions. The Second Amendment is a failed amendment – a hopelessly entrenched piece of legislation that has continually fallen short of its expectations and has contributed more to depriving Americans of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness than to protecting those same rights.

Question still stands, who gets to decide what expert means and who gets to be one? The language barrier alone here on Planet Babel will preclude any rational resolution.

True, he may not have been drunk. Inebriated is another story. Lately he does seem to be losing the thread, even more so than his usual state of confusion.

Then don't go out of your way to ruin a man's life. . . unless you're alleging a crime was committed. Her not being underage is a big deal in this case. They're a victim of hate mail because people think Brown is being railroaded and it's starting to look like he was.

So PM Trudeau wants FB to crack down on fake news So - will that include banning CTV

Do you realize how far off your reality compass is ? Trump is scaling back healthcare - why do you STILL think he's going to do ANYTHING for regular people ? I'm shaking my head at this, Topaz. He has completely fooled so many people like you who somehow believed he would help them. At what point are you going to wake up, I wonder ?

Bull shit. Anyone can say a legal system is flawed simply because you don't like the legal decision a jury makes. That does not make it flawed however. You mistake not approving of a jury's finding with a legal system being flawed. Go on finish it. What is flawed about our justice system. What a sweeping statement. That's one big system you call flawed. I doubt you even have a clue what the courts are in Canada, who has jurisdiction over them, what their rules of evidence and procedure are. Until you do, your partisan knee jerk reaction to a decision you do not like does not mean the system is flawed. Good luck explaining why its flawed. You haven't a clue how the system even works given you applaud politicians who undermine the integrity of the independence of the legal system. Also the fact you refer to it as the "justice" system and not legal or criminal system says a lot. As a lawyer the first thing I have learned is that when laymen use the word "justice" they mean "revenge". Tell you what. I could spend hours discussing ways to improve our legal system but throwing it all out in the wash as you have with one foul pronouncement is b.s. Compared to the majority of the world we are damn lucky to have the legal system we have warts and all.

Having a backpack with toilet paper with a ball of shit in it....he should get his own camp site

Interesting....do you slip the roll over your belt so its with you all the time....

No it directly responded to your words which you now have no idea how to defend so now want to run from.. Its what you do, make subjective statements, state you care only about your own opinions, and then when you can not control the responses to agree with your statements, try change the topic so you can try control what can be discussed so you can control the reponses. The question you asked was already answered long ago. When you did not like the answer, you switched the topic.

Another brick in the wall....the public will never easily know what jurors were thinking in this case, because jurors in Canada are legally prohibited from discussing their verdict under penalty of summary conviction and punishment. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/jury-secrecy-colten-boushie-gerald-stanley-1.4533893

True, but what percentage of those involved in crime are from that subset? It is countries like Canada and Mexico that are victims of smuggling of weapons from the US, not the other way around.

Yes, the interest rates were higher under Trudeau, but only towards the end of his term, and he started his first term with almost no debt and a deficit well under a billion. Mulroney started his first term with all the accumulated deficits of the Trudeau years. The adjusted (for inflation)deficit his tenth year in office was ten times the deficit his first year in office. There was a brief Clark interlude, then four more years of Trudeau. His adjusted deficit was 71.5 billion in his last year vs 4.5 his first. Mulroney's adjusted deficit was actually lower when he left office than when he started. As a % of GDP Trudeau went from -0.9% to -7.9% while Mulroney went from -8.3% to -5.6%. Harper, incidentally, went from 0.9% to 0.1%. http://www.cbc.ca/news/multimedia/canada-s-deficits-and-surpluses-1963-to-2015-1.3042571

I know a drunk when I see it. I have done some major drinking in my time. And when you are stumbling and then, the old hands on the hip, with the I am not drunk look on his face tells it all. I know he is your boy and will defend him to the end, but his party better look into this or it could get worse. He could be breaking under the pressure and that is not good for him or the country.

Or...how many pot muffins did he wolf down beforehand?

Try reading this. http://www.newsoptimist.ca/opinion/columnists/there-is-so-much-wrong-being-said-by-both-sides-about-the-gerald-stanley-trial-1.23171591 Much has been made of the all-white jury. But the calling of 750 potential jurors of a jury pool is extraordinary. That was a deliberate attempt by the court to provide as wide a jury pool as possible, and certainly larger than anything I encountered. That just a sliver of those potential jurors showed up is a reflection that many people, including First Nations people, did not wish to put in an effort for this case. Perhaps if all, or even most, of those 750 people showed up, given the local demographics and substantial Indigenous population, it would have been impossible for the defence to challenge them all people of visible minorities. There would have been too many. Now Carolyn_Bennett says new legal framework will allow Indigenous people to have more control over their lives and their land more quickly. Guess that means we don’t have to pay them billions of dollars every year now. There are currently 147 First Nations reserves under "Default Management" by her own Department. Does Bennett know this? What happens to those aboriginal communities and more so now that Trudeau killed the First Nations Financial Transparency Act.

No...never been a farmer.

What is the problem....millions of Americans and Canadians legally and responsibly own firearms.

Yes...there is no shortage of Americans...or millions of legal/illegal immigrants trying to get into the place....guns be damned.

So i gather from your rebuttals that all these gun crimes are perfectly legitimate.....gun crimes are down everything is good...Obama had at least 17 mass shootings.....Trump is just keeping pace.....any other brilliant reasoning?

No I don't...you are very late to this long documented and understood trend.

...and Lincoln had a civil war with 600,000 dead Americans. Trump did not create mass shootings.

BC states reality. If there's someone on this board who knows REALITY, it's BC.

During the US Revolution, regular citizens armed themselves and took-on the world's superpower of the time. Sometimes one must fight. Sorry to see you've already surrendered if need be.

Sort of like the US Revolution... Like I mentioned, you don't get the 2nd Amendment. One can not expect the Government to always be benign and friendly.

Think about it....whats your pea shooter going to do to protect yourself from tanks and other government arms...bang bang your dead.....and are you that paranoid that your government is going to turn on you.....oh boy face plant

That's nice. It is STILL to stop folks like you from taking away the average citizen's ability to protect him/herself from his/her own government. I'm sure you just think of the good points of banning all weapons for average citizens...but there is also a downside.

Of which, the founder of the Palestinian Cause was knee deep in...being a real Nazi.

Part of the Liberal brainwashing over the years. I have so-called friends who hate Americans for no reason but need them to pass through each year on the way to Alaska or go out of business.

True...but there is no reason to get so upset, unless that is part of the triggered act.

Anti-Americanism is just MORE identity politics...designed to split us and isolate.

Stormy Daniels?? Meh...fake.

Why are you so upset ? And I am not a Republican...but I am an American...your worst nightmare.

I don't think BC voted for Mr Trump...but okay.

Hey...it's sporting to not know if you pull the trigger your gun will shoot.

That Sophie looks like she runs the roost. (Zee safe word is rutabaga)

Trump can afford better sex than Trudeau can get at Church-Wellesley Village.

....and land was available in Kansas. Good land...great land...with railways being built. Didn't interest the Zionist Movement as that wasn't their objective.

Zionists didn't care WHICH Sultan was selling the land. Ownership of land in the Ottoman Empire was possible after the 1858 Land Code. Anybody could buy land...literally...as the Ottomans were broke from too many wars of Imperialism. As was the style of the time... The Zionists paid through the nose for that land...so to speak....being Jews. Also paid the Jizya and followed Ottoman Laws. Citizens of the Empire.

Projecting again... Again...the Palestinians as a people were created at 1967's Khartoum Conference of the Arab League. Before this "magic event", they were called Egyptians and Jordanians respectfully.

AND, as to the comments against the American way, America is NOT a cult. They DO have people who believe in SEGREGATION laws too. BUT, they are VOLUNTARY and DO NOT IMPOSE laws that favor people based on select races. Of course this too has degraded in the U.S.. But this is IN SPITE of their Constitution with its First Amendment. And it proves that given the fact that racists and sexists STILL have more power in a voluntary society, when it is forced upon people from above, our type of system is worse. I rode my first horse on a Cherokee Nation in South Carolina. I remembered how welcomed we were as EQUALS to them. Here in Canada, you can't do this. The reserves are ONLY for those who have a genetic linked inheritance here. In the U.S. I can CHOOSE to become a member of the Cherokee Nation. If I was adopted by an Aboriginal family, I'd only 'own' the culture that my family opts to have as traditions without laws that conserve them. So if you got something against the U.S., it is only because you can't avoid the POWERS of those cults that have collective BELIEFS in their Genetic roots voluntarily. But they are NOT forced in laws like they are here.

"Racism" is the charge by the Boshie family and ALL those Aboriginals who collectively opted to RALLY AGAINST all Canadians and its supposed (but unclarified) "systematic abuses". It is not something I made up here. "American" justice is about treating people as individuals without reference to any fucking 'superiority' complex that Kings and Queens think they deserve. You are praising our system when it is 'authoritarian' (top-down lead). The ONLY reason Trudeau and others are supporting the Natives is to HIDE their own liability to the debt of their own abuses. But they DICTATED me and all Canadians to a "constitution" specifically designed to EVADE a sincere Charter of Rights for ALL people. That is, whatever 'freedoms' we have been granted are THROUGH the auspicies of those Canadian families who are RELATED to the original Ontario/Quebec 'loyalists' made up of mostly Catholic and Anglican lovers of Feudalistic thinking that treats its members as "commoners". We are a theocracy that hides behind a feigned "democracy". It IS 'democratic' to THOSE fortunate to have INHERENT rights guaranteed to them with PRIORITY. These select groups though do not include those like myself that has no cult beliefs in Gods or irrational Nationalist beliefs that in my genes I OWN (inherit) my parents' and all other of my ancestor's ARTISTIC behaviors: Culture, religion, etc. THIS is racist because it falsely assigns ownership of ENVIRONMENTAL behaviors (of ancestors) as a GENETICALLY linked FACT!! If you are "Scottish", this government says that you OWN the culture of wearing Kilts, for instance. While this may seem mundane to you, this 'stereotyping' requires being logically consistent across all factors both GOOD AND BAD. So if you are 'German', for instance, you require OWNING the fault of the Holocaust, as much as the Oktoberfest beer celebrations etc. If one who is "Aboriginal" genetically has some 'right to PERPETUITIES by Trudeau's own ancestors, HE and ONLY HIS agreed relatives should PAY for any of the past abuses that he readily excuses US ALL as "owning" simply for NOT having Aboriginal genes. I'm tired of this stupidity. If you agree to this for some essence of loyalty to Canadian history, it only tells me that you are one of those fortunate elites who interpret your own fortune as STEREOTYPICALLY linked to all of those who have similar genes to you. So, given this background, to the case at issue, when the Natives rally, this is NO DIFFERENT than what the Germans did for their own beliefs of "distinct Nationalities" of which the Aboriginal German (Aryan race) believed they were separately worthy of OWNERSHIP of GENETIC CULTURE. That is, they too believed that they were victimized by the non-aboriginal Germans who invaded their economies and stole their lands. The JURY did NOTHING wrong regardless of its verdict. The Boshie family ONLY accept a 'guilty' verdict. While this is understandable of one's direct familiar relationships, IT HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE WHOLE ABORIGINAL RACE. And so when they rallied AS A COLLECTIVE, they also PROVE that it would have been absurdly STUPID of the defense to SELECT Aboriginal peoples on their jury. Note that IF they alter the rights of the accusers to have power of juries with privilege THIS SHOULD ALSO apply to Natives. This would be bad equally for them too (IF WE REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH ANY NEW LAWS). But they will ONLY ACCEPT laws that EMPOWER the Aboriginal uniquely and exclusively. And this means that their appeal to the government is only to have a selective socialist favor for their own "Nations" (National Socialist). I and all other people are born 'aboriginal' of this Earth. The problems that exist are ONLY due to racism and sexism by those who deem it essential to EMPOWER those groups uniquely and exclusively, NOT those pointing out the hypocrisy. I don't OWN some 'European' culture, regardless of the fact that many of them DO have an advantage. But the problems of the Aboriginals are NOT due to the dissociated individuals outside of any cult. It is ONLY due significantly to the contrast of WEALTH that only INCIDENTALLY have larger plurality of Aboriginals. The problem is POVERTY, ISOLATION, and further NATIONAL SOCIALISTIC protections that TREAT THEM AS discriminate beings (some other KIND of human?) So the classification of any problem of discrimination is due to poverty. But they or other groups who are plural and strong enough as a cult are given special significance by our government because those in power and wealth here are ALSO believers in their OWN distinct status as humans. By forcefully ISOLATING people by supplanting and even reviving dead cultures through segregation (such as a right to their own private language), they are purposely attempting to HIDE the actual cause to deny the larger part of the class of those impoverished. When those within the same economic classes are isolated this way, it is just like the Israelis using their settlements to ISOLATE the collective nature of the Palestinians to be empowered to overthrow them. With Cultural laws, this eases the capacity of the wealthy elitist to divide us by redefining such divisiveness as a virtue: diversity. "Diversity" by them means SEGREGATE CULTS. They think of different races as distinct animals that require separate cages in a zoo. It was this very reason why the arrogant 'colonialists' suggest "reserves" as we might have a "buffalo reserve". Instead of destroying these racist concepts, you and others are supporting STRENGTHENING these institutes. If such laws favor you, then OWN this yourself. But stop imposing us to segregate based on your own discriminatory racist beliefs. I may have 'white skin' but I am NOT 'white' by any culture other than my OWN choice .....not my ancestors! To me I treat people as independent beings that have a RIGHT to CHOOSE their 'culture'. If I like skateboarding, this becomes MY CULTURE. But if my grandparents played HOCKEY, I do NOT OWN this culture because it is NOT my choice of artistic lifestyle. (In fact I hate this stereotype also being imposed upon me as a Canadian)

I think you should sit down, and take a deep breath. Muslims and Jews don't believe Jesus is the Son of God. Jews don't believe He is the Messiah! There you go. Think about that. What do you suggest? We tweak and change the Word of God...........to suit your opinion?

However.....they're not all that's been said, and explained about Jesus Christ (as the numerous given verses show). You can't simply use those verses to validate your claim. That's what we call, "cherry-picking." You can't ignore the other verses that say Jesus is God.

It's related. They figured that they had to tone it down a notch after the Holocaust.

Thank you very much. I couldn't find information as to whether he was related to the Mufti. How is he a cousin from the father and mother's side?

Straw man.

Did you see Trudeau’s tweet about the verdict? I honestly can’t believe the PM of our country would even comment at this time. He is by far the most disgraceful PM ever to take office
