I am Groot Posted November 12, 2025 Report Posted November 12, 2025 So the case is that the accused made an ass of himself and was refused entry to an event by security. Others taunted him for it, and he and his friends got angry, and the two groups met in a parking lot. The accused tried to hit one of the other side with a bottle twice. When that failed, the other party swung his fist back at hi,m and the accused then stabbed him to death, kicked and stomped on him as he lay dying, and then sent a text to his friend bragging about it. And the judge says, "That's okay. No crime here. You're free to go." This is how you get the breakdown of society. This is how you get more and more young men carrying weapons - because they know that other young men are carrying weapons, and now also know that if those other young men use them, they won't be punished. https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2025/11/12/teen-found-not-guilty-of-manslaughter-after-fatally-stabbing-18-year-old-in-north-york-parking-lot/ 1 Quote "A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G.

Superior court judge that had all the evidence. Not saying it was right but without knowing all the details and evidence, cannot say it was all wrong either. And yes, I read the link.

Venandi Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 (edited) More than fights between drunks, there are some obvious (at least to me) legal questions here that went unasked and unanswered in the article. Deliberately carrying a knife, a can of soup in a plastic bag, or a bottle from the bar as a defensive "weapon" is illegal in Canada in and of itself and it's based on intent. In short, it's a weapon if you use it as a weapon. There needs to be a "story" attached to the possession of it. The soup was my lunch. The knife was in my pocket because i was doing carpentry work an hour ago. My girlfriend collects micro brewery bottles. The details (as a function of law) are important.... they seem to be missing in the article and as always, I wonder why the press never asks the questions reasonable people would ask if they were in a position to ask reasonable questions. It's part of a slow legal and policing failure... assuming you subscribe to the existing laws as written because you can't have it both ways. Create a situation (systemically) where people feel the legitimate need to carry defensive weapons and people will carry defensive weapons because they have to... and precedent will support the legitimacy of them doing so over time. Sounds like we're making a choice here, and if so, believe me when I say that I'm all for having the legal right to carry a defensive weapon.That's not a common sentiment IMO but it seems like that's where we're going. It's a choice, and precedent is part of what legally validates those choices over time. Like it or not (and IMO of course) we're making choices here. Edited January 23 by Venandi 1 Quote

WestCanMan Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 I don't understand why violent crime is suddenly tolerated in Canada and the US.
