Hey, I am one of them.
If this was a Canadian kid, no one would know anything about his past actions as a 14 year old.
Young Offenders act etc.
There is a lynch mob mentality going on here, no Canadian kid would have to deal with. No one would know!
Personally I think the young man is scum. Can he learn from his mistakes? If a 14 year old is not capable of learning why have schools?
What the kid did was horrible. I am just asking which justice system would you want? The Canadian one or the American one.
If this was a Canadian kid there would be so many lawsuits right now.
I am not picking a side here. Not supporting Miller. Yet as a Canadian I am suppose to be fine with never hearing about stuff like this from Canadian boys.
Do things need to change? Are 14 year olds now considered adults in Canada? Our justice system says no.
I am not defending the kid. Our justice system in Canada would. Are we wrong in Canada?
Canadian values would say none of this would of hit the media if it was a Canadian boy.
Thoughts from Canadians?

It is an interesting point. As I said before, it was the stuff that happened after the main incident that is really upsetting.
You get into that much trouble at 14, end up in court, and show no remorse.
So you go through all that and it doesn’t cross your mind to try and make things right.
Then, to make it worse, at 16 you intimidate him again.
Not sure what the laws are, but would the stuff he did when he was 16 be able to be published if it was Canada?
