I think that the root cause of the horrible outcome.
When you are very rural, you feel like you have no protection. Everybody knows who the trouble makers are, but, IF the police do anything, it takes the criminals away for only a short period, then they are right back in action. The Justice system is only capable of slightly delaying the issue.
Where I grew up, a local thug was brutally murdered, and the killers only got manslaughter. And the local crime issue was not chronic like I've been hearing about in rural Saskatchewan.
The Justice System has been failing both rural residents and obviously indigenous people. I suspect the Jury feels that vigilante justice is all that is available for the farmer, especially dealing with people from there…
I believe the shooting was likely not race based, but the not guilty verdict was helped by race…
he killers only got Manslater. And the local crime issue was not cronic like I've been hearing about in rural Saskatchewan.
