Wow I was super lied to it was daytime.
The deceased was behind the wheel of an SUV and was about to potentially run over Stanley's wife. Stanley reached in the window with one hand to try to remove the keys from the ignition, when the gun in his other hand malfunctioned (hang fire,) resulting in the scumbag getting shot. I do not have a link but it should be easy enough to find.
I'm actually kind of pissed about this. Thanks for not running me into the ground. I guess it's true you really can't trust anyone no matter who they are and always do research. Still, I have my weird views about things but not this case anymore. I also live in a city, not a big one but not in the middle of nowhere. I learned stuff this morning CGN.
At the end of the day, these were grown adults in their twenties. They knew better. Had they not been out victimizing hard working families, they might have all made it home alive that day. From what I remember, they were also driving around pissed drunk too though, so who knows.
I can say with pride that I donated multiple times to Stanley's fundraiser and agree 100% with the verdict.
Don't tell anyone you study martial arts. The moment you have to defend yourself in court they'll say "our client is a relatable urbanite thief, while the defendant is the 'Kungfoo Master' that used a pinky finger move to disable my client."
I don't think they lied to you. They are simply regular people. Set aside the degrees, they probably know just the same about the case as you did. They not only have their biases, they also were quite correct about self defence being a tough sell in Canada. Which is why they went with the bs "hang fire" defense.
If I was a juror I would of hard a hard time not convicting on the basis of the "hang fire" alone. I'm 99.999999999% sure, their was no hang fire. However, I'm 100% sure there was defense of self and property. Whether or not that is reconized in Canada, I could care less. In Countries with real rights and freedom's, it is. I believe I would have been the majority on the jury (I'm from Sask). The rest of the jury would have needed the hang fire bs to get past the fact that Canada has no rights.
There was a spent casing from Stanley's pistol found on the dashboard of the Boushie vehicle. There was a peculiar bulge on the spent brass that experts say backs the 'hang fire' story. And it was also determined that the ammunition in question was several decades old.

Consider also that although hang fires are usually 'very brief', the rule while on the range is to wait one full minute before attempting to unload a suspected hang fire. That's the rule in the Canadian military anyway. I'm certainly no expert, but I would guess that there's a legitimate reason for the full one minute wait time...

The Stanley pistol was an old Tokarev TT33. When Boushie was shot, he had a damaged but loaded .22 rifle in his lap which fell to the ground afterward. The RCMP posted pics of the Boushie rifle online but the Leftist MSM buried the fact fact that the guy was armed. Go figure...
(The rifle was bent because the criminals were using it as a pry-bar to open the door of a truck on the farm of one of Stanley's neighbours just before they reached the Stanley farm)
My 7.62x25 surplus has all sorts of bulged and odd spent brass. Most likely from hot loadings.
You can choose to believe what you want. Never in one million years would I believe that. The odds of that happening are so slim. Could it have happened, maybe. Could you win the lottery and get struck by lightning on the same day, maybe.
Seriously though, look at all the evidence, does some stupid hang fire theory really need to come into play??
