Canada Jails a homeowner for defending himself, coming to NY, soon

[Jmac00]

I am stunned this could happen in any civilized, semi-intelligent, country, except Canada. Apparently a criminal has more rights than the law abiding.

Truly ridiculous. Literally woke up being stabbed and still goes to jail.

They remember their brother as a funny, caring man.

"He was a happy person," said Benn. "He was very funny.… A great guy."

"He was always outgoing," said Bunn's brother, Nicholas Benn.

"He could always bring a smile to your face. Here in court, they just showed his bad side, of the choices he made, [his] mistakes. But through all of that he was a really good guy."

Yep, he was a good man. Just a great dude. I mean there was that one time he broke into somebody's house and attacked them, but whatever.

Kinda make you wonder what the penalty is for actually breaking and entering AND killing a random stranger in his own home? $50 fine and 30 days in jail?

Absolutely crazy to think a judge and jury believed they had a right to second guess the actions of someone who was being stabbed in his own home.

Stories like these make me look forward to canada breaking apart at the seams. The internal contradictions of that country are going to come to a head in a major way over the next 10 years.

There is something to this. I have roots there. Canadians spend so much time patting themselves on the back that they are not stupid Americans that they do not realize what is happening.

The last election resulted in a bigger political rift from west to east than we have in the most polarized US state (I looked at popular vote from the most polarized US states and compared to the most polarized provinces, which are Alberta and Saskatchewan). Similar to the US, the coast + Ontario are left. Alberta, a major province for Canada, deeply loathes the PM. Canada has embraced political correctness with a furor that would make editors at the huffington post blush, and those conservatives still there are appalled. Unlike conservatives here, they do not have the critical mass necessary to actually mount a defense against the insanity.

All the expatriates that left for Canada in the 60's and 70's will be moving back to be re-repatriated as Canada is going loco.

And they have good reason to. Alberta is home to canada's oil and energy sector which the govt assesses huge taxes to pay for social programs in the rest of the country. On top of that the loons in the govt have drunk the global warming kool aid. So if they don't bankrupt Alberta with taxes they'll do it with punitive measures that will put them out of business.

To placate the frenchtards in quebec after multiple threats of separation the constitution was amended so that provinces have a right to secede. Don't be surprised if you start hearing talk about Alberta becoming the 51st state. I don't think it's likely, but one never knows....
