I remember this story well. A hockey player who was coached by Patrick Roy in the QMJHL ended up becoming the captain of the MRU Cougars. I think he was 26 when he got drunk at a party, ate some mushrooms, then broke into a random house that happened to be occupied by a prof from MRU. He broke through a glass door and beat the woman half to deal with a broom handle.
I lived in Calgary for most of my life and never understood the American fascination with guns. I'm the last guy who would ever own a gun. I'll tell you what though, a guy like this breaking into my house and beating a senior with a broom handle and then being found not guilty because he was too drunk and high to be held responsible for his actions makes the justice system look like a joke. How could anyone argue against the case for having a firearm for protection when this kind of thing is allowed to go unpunished?
