And this happened in 2016 in Bonnyville, two natives break into a senior's garage, shoot him, and steal his truck:

I guess those indigenous folk, the shooters in each case, were racist since they shot white men?

Was there outrage and did Trudeau say something had to be done based on the race of the shooters and the victims?

Of course not.
Well, surely even you can give Trudeau a pass for not publicly commenting in 1994. I hope.

And not sure what similarities between the acquittal of Mr. Stanley and the conviction of the two accused in 2016 should have prompted similar expressions of concern about the efficacy of the justice system?
