Craps on the Canadian justice system

That's what the dim-witted Trudeau did today when he commented on the verdict in the Colton Boushie verdict.  "We have to continue the conversation and question our relationship with indigenous people," he opined after learning the accused had been found not guilty. 

Really?

The evidence just wasn't there to convict the guy.  Were it, he would have been.  But it wasn't, so he wasn't.  Listening to a number of legal experts, it was clear they could not convict, but Trudeau in effect called into question the entire rule of law by commenting nebulously on the verdict.  I have been a jury foreman and it's a pain in the a--.  You have to be sequestered for a long time and it's no fun.  They did their best and came to their verdict, just as we did 25 years ago when I went through it.   

But, who cares?!  It wasn't the verdict the natives wanted, so they screamed foul.

Boushie's family wailed and screamed when it was read.  It was all "racism and injustice" for these people.  Here's what had happened:  Drunk, Boushie and his friends were trying to steal a car from the accused's property.  They were bashing in the doors and windows and the owner fired a few shots; one killed Boushie.  Sad, but they had no business being and doing where and what they were.  And will they pay for the cars they wrecked? 

The fact that we have a prime minister who thumbs his nose at the justice system is a disgrace.  Whatever he thinks, he should have stood up for the jury and the system.  Instead, he pandered to the natives.  But what do we expect from a pot-smoking hippie from B.C? 

Outrageous.
