And thats not to even mention the potential harm to persons in the public and property of innocent residents. The participants in the crime spree made decisions to act in the manner they did. They chose to commit crimes and put themselves and others at risk. Mr. Stanley didnt wake up that morning and decide to go on a crime spree. He was put in a dangerous situation that he didnt chose to be in.

A lot of people thanking the empathy for Gerald Stanley post and very few calling for empathy for the family of Colten Boushie or the indigenous community. They are dealing with all sorts of vile racist comments and threats the past 72 hours. This whole thing disgusts me as human being. Yet people will not admit it has anything to do with racism. Excuse me while I vomit.
