Why do I get this strange feeling that the last laugh could easily be from this ‘intruder’, when he wins a multi-million-dollar defamation suit against all the media, and Ford, for portraying him as a ‘guilty home invader’ instead of the victim, because we really do not know all of the facts - what happens if it turns out the facts establish that he was actually invited in, and the home-owner attacked him first, then tried to invoke his innocence by declaring ‘self defense’? Perhaps a drug deal gone bad?
The police refer to an ‘intruder’, and ‘break-and-enter’, but these claims are ‘alleged’ and have not been established in a court of law. Apparently, according to one article I read, the two knew each other.
The police also indicated that the non-resident individual was charged with offences related to home invasion, is known to police, and had an active arrest warrant out.
Considering that farmer guy got away with shooting the native kid in the face a few years ago, I don’t think these charges will stick if it’s just “stabbing is fine, but he stabbed too much.”
A good defense attorney will turn everything you just said against the prosecution. Everything you said was conjuncture, not supported by facts. That the police charged both men means the facts are undetermined, and they are leaving it up to a court of law to sort through. Break-and-enter is not home invasion. It is a broad catch-all.
Good thing I’m not an attorney, solicitor, or barrister, but rather some random on the internet commenting on what information is available to us and referencing a previous case where violence was used by someone claiming defense of their home.
Do you mean you are just some know-nothing highly opinionated blabbermouth who goes on spouting garbage that they have absolutely no knowledge of, just to look important and sound impressive?
Suppose a stray bullet from that gun had killed an innocent child sleeping in her bed, if you mean the Vaughan incident? We are seeing far too many innocent bystanders being killed and injured in these ‘right to defend’ cases.
Police took the rare step of issuing a statement after they said that news of the arrest “generated significant public interest and emotional responses” as well as “unjust and inaccurate” commentary about the officers involved.
They said investigators examined all information and evidence that was available to them before laying any charges, adding that only a limited amount of information is being released to the public at this time about this incident as to both protect the investigation as well as ensure the right of the accused during their court proceedings.
“The role of the police is to investigate impartially and present findings to the justice system, which ultimately determines the outcome,” the statement notes.
“We encourage you to follow this matter as it proceeds through the justice system.”
Most of the alleged ‘facts’ presented to the public so far are, at best, fabrications of the public imagination. Did Ford even once use the term ‘alleged’, or similar? His statements were made in public, not covered by parliamentary privilege.
He has revealed his rue colors - just like Trump, he wants to be judge, prosecutor, police commander, jury, and executioner. Ford wants to be the only Law that exists.

No.
Just clarifying your comment and observation.
