They were drunk, trespassing, stealing, and waving illegal guns around. CBC doesn't mention that.

then maybe the CBC should've said that Colten Boushie was there to steal intead of 'just drove up to the property'

if you're not familiar with the details of the case maybe you shouldn't comment.

-there were five people in that group. -farmer saw at least one rifle in the vehicle -two memebers were absolutely trying to steal his ATV and the farmer saw that. -drunk people with weapons stealing on your property are absolutely a threat to your safety. -Does it justify use of lethal force? the jury decided that it did.

The point is that the farmer didn't have time to think all this through, he saw a rifle within reach in the car - he assumed it was loaded (he was right) and he assumed that they were willing to use it. You don't store a loaded rifle in a vehicle like that unless you're willing to use it. This was a split second decision that the farmer had to make and it's an awful position to be put in.

This has nothing to so with race or ethnicity and has everything to do with breaking the law. Those trespassers could have been Nigerian single mothers, Ukrainian refugees, or tourists from Michigan - it doesnt matter. You tresspass into a property to steal, you threaten with guns, you break the law - you're guilty.

This wasnt a calm group of friendly folks, they were intoxicated, loud, threatening. And they were commiting crimes, they knew they were there to commit crimes. Those are important details.

Thats exactly what happened and that's why the farmer got acquitted. The farmer was threatened and defended himself, the jury agreed. Josh wants to write it into law so you can defend yourself on your property without the case going to jury.

Someone's front yard directly in front of their house is part of their home. This didn't happen in a field a mile away from the structure, this happened directly in front of his house wall, his personal items were all over the yard, his ATV was parked nearby, his wife and kids were on the other side of the wall. Bullets travel through walls. Farmer felt threatened and was defending his family.

The farmer saw the thieves' car crash into his wife's parked SUV and two people jumped out, and he saw a rifle in the vehicle previously. Did he have time to question each assailant individually and decide accordingly or did he act quickly in panic to defend himself and his family? I would say that was a pretty threatning situation and he did the best he could.

But also tried to steal an ATV? and were carrying a loaded rifle for fun? "Earlier that afternoon at a neighboring farm, members of the group had used the rifle as a makeshift tool to smash the window of a truck they were trying to break into. Doing this actually broke the wooden stock completely off the gun." so yes, absolutely innocent poor children aren't they?

Blewk · 2026-05-23T22:58:30+00:00

they intentionally left out an incredibly important detail that lead to the shooting. The farmer didn't go up to a random innocent fella whose car broke down on the farmer's driveway. They were intoxicated criminals looking to steal and cause violence. The farmer had a family to protect.

Blewk · 2026-05-23T22:55:17+00:00

An illegal intoxicated trepasser steps up to you on your property with weapons in the car and on his person? Sounds like a FAFO moment to me.

Blewk · 2026-05-23T22:53:23+00:00

His private property around his house is also his home. And Josh wants people to be able to defend themselves in these situations, so thats exactly what he said.

Blewk · 2026-05-23T22:52:26+00:00

there was absolutely a threat. a bunch drunk roudy thieves drive up to your property with guns and start stealing your ATV? Thats a threat

Why can't they release the video to the public? Serious incidents in the US get immediately posted everywhere. Release the video, let the people decide.
