German tourist that was shot in the head in Alberta left paralyzed, attempted murder charge dropped
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calga...ium%3Dsharebar
Quote:
After shooting a German tourist in the head in what might have been a case of mistaken identity, the 16-year-old shooter yelled "we caught a body," one witness said during his testimony at the boy's trial in Calgary.
A 17-year-old boy is on trial, facing charges of aggravated assault, assault, and three firearms-related offences. His identity is protected by a publication ban under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Horst Stewin, 61, is paralyzed on his right side and still has trouble speaking after eight bullet fragments were removed from his brain last summer, 20 days after he was shot while driving on Highway 1A west of Calgary.
...
Several months ago, a charge of attempted murder was dropped by the Crown after prosecutors decided there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction.

I said at the time that this sounded like a gang initiation rite. It’s come out now that the driver coerced the kid who was in the back seat to shoot. I still think it was an initiation.

A year or so in detention if convicted, and he can resume a life of crime. He will likely cost the taxpayers over a million dollars between the police, courts, prison etc, unless we are lucky and he dies young.

News showed him walking into the courtroom, if there's remorse he isn't showing it. Him & a couple wingers swaggering in like they just shot a guy & got away with it!

And the victim has his life changed for ever. Defended by Balfour Der, they don't come any better, we're paying for that as well, no doubt.

When will we, of German descent, be receiving our cheque’s from the Nakoda First Nations for reparations and reconciliation?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Your response is too funny. Fellas that know me well, know I have a saying; “The only way to fight or defeat stupidity is with more stupidity. Reason and common sense can never prevail against stupidity.” The reason the above was even mentioned is my opinion the only way to change stupidity is for everyone to embrace stupidity. Then you ask me to not include you in this stupidity, priceless.  Probably funnier for me and my circle than most, but regardless. You cannot speak for all Germans either, so sit back and wait for your reparations.
