An emotional response to a tragedy and an arguably unjust verdict is identity politics and culture war? Are you guys seriously this callous?
While the actual verdict may have come down to reasonable doubt over Stanley’s story and inconsistent witness testimony, this whole incident is frought with racial undertones and to deny this is to be blind or willfully ignorant.
I think one can look at the evidence presented and logically understand how the jury reached its decision, while also understanding the sadness, disappointment, and anger felt by the victim’s family and the community at large.

Go live beside a reserve and see how quickly your compassion and empathy go out the window, theft and break-ins are very very common. I honesty don't blame the 5 youths. I blame the parents. Teach your kids respect for the law and your fellow man and stop trying to blame the White man for all your problems.
