It’s not a whitewashed movie. The overwhelming majority of soldiers at Dunkirk were white. The movie is from a British perspective. The British Expeditionary Force, the only British land force in France during the Nazi invasion, was comprised of troops from the UK, not the colonies. Because the Nazis conquered…

No, you’re wrong. Manslaughter is a lesser included offence and the judge’s instructions to the jury made it more than clear that Stanley could be found guilty of manslaughter. So before you tell others to “feel free to educate” themselves about the case, perhaps you should do so yourself.

Can you say 100% without a doubt that he shot him on purpose? Taking in the testimony from the crown, in which one had to be warned about lying on the stand. His “friends” couldnt even tell the truth and were more worried about themselves.

There wasn’t any evidence where he admitted that he actually had sex with her. The recordings where he referred to sex could be interpreted as him saying he wanted to have sex with her, but only until he found out her true age.

It was a jury verdict, and there simply wasn’t enough evidence to convict. Had Cormier been charged with being a douchebag and potential child molester, he would have been convicted without a moment’s deliberation.

Your article glosses over the fact that the evidence was too circumstantial to secure a conviction.

Both of these cases were weakly presented by the Crown. Colton Boushie was part of a group who had been drinking for several days and had just come from another farm where they attempted to steal a car. They came onto Gerald Stanley’s farm and immediately tried to steal an ATV and vehicle. Things escalated and Boushie…

Can we stop conflating Tina Fontaine and Colton Boushie? Tina was a vulnerable child who was targeted by some old pervert.  Colton was a grown-ass man who was drunk when he and his friends tried robbing a family and then got himself shot. Apples and oranges.

As Emma has clearly illustrated here, the top sheet serves a very specific purpose. The same purpose as the salad fork. That purpose is so that pretentious dicks like Emma can feel a sense of false superiority and look down their noses at normal, reasonable people.

You’ll never believe it, but I’d wager that there’s far more we agree on than we disagree on. You’re definitely the first to accuse me of alt-right-ness.

You mean beyond the “anyone with an AR-15 must be compensating for an infinitesimally small penis and matching brain” remarks?

why is this okay?

Let’s back up a little bit. These are air rifles, not full fledged firearms. I can see an issue with kids using firearms larger than a .22 until a certain age. Air rifles are not much different from the bb guns some of us grew up with or more modern air soft.

You cannot grow an AR-15 in your shed or make it in your bathtub. You cannot build one at home with commonly available materials.
