A COUNTRY WITHOUT POLICE AND JUSTICE SYSTEM!!! IS AN UNRULED COUNTRY?



“The news release the RCMP issued the following day provided just enough prejudicial information for the average reader to draw their own conclusions that the shooting was somehow justified,” wrote FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron in a media release
                    
Family Looking For Justice After Deadly Shooting Of Colten Boushie, Near Biggar, Sask                                                                                                                                          Funeral held for Colten Boushie                                                                                                            Red Power Media, Staff | August 13, 2016                                                                                              A Saskatchewan First Nation held a funeral for Colten Boushie shot dead Tuesday, on a property in the Rural Municipality of Glenside, —near Biggar Sask— about 90 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.

According to CBC News, RCMP said five individuals came on to a private property and were confronted by the property owners.

Boushie, 22-years-old, was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.
“The news release the RCMP issued the following day provided just enough prejudicial information for the average reader to draw their own conclusions that the shooting was somehow justified,” wrote FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron in a media release.

The occupants of the vehicle, including Boushie, were not known to the property owners and a verbal exchange broke out resulting in a firearm going off striking Boushie who was inside the vehicle.
Biggar RCMP have charged a 54-year-old man, with second-degree murder.
 
Courtney Markewich reports, Family of Boushie, from as far away as Alberta and the northwest U.S., gathered on the Red Pheasant First Nation Saturday morning for the young man’s funeral.
                                         
Debbie Baptiste described her son, Colten Boushie, as a “good guy” who liked to help out his community on the Red Pheasant First Nation.

Boushie’s mother, Debbie Baptiste, said it wasn’t long ago that her son was one of the men in the community helping with other people’s funerals.

“We have our traditional ways out here, how we do things around here. And one of the things [is] when we’re burying somebody, a fire is lit and somebody has to watch it all night until morning,” Baptiste explained.

“So my sons would do that,” she said. “They’d sit out at that fire and they didn’t even know the person who was laying in there who they were burying, but they wanted to help and that’s how they’d help out.”
This time the fire was lit for her son, who Baptiste said was a well-educated and caring young man.

Looking for Justice 
Many mourners on the First Nation said there are a lot of questions about what happened the day Boushie was killed and how the RCMP handled releasing information about it.
 
“We don’t want this to be swept under the rug,” Alvin Baptiste, Boushie’s uncle, said.
“We’re focused on laying Colten to rest right now but now my family will stand up and they’re ready to support and rally for justice.”

A facebook event called Justice for Colten has been made, with a rally outside the Provincial Court House in North Battleford, Sask on Aug 18th at 9 AM. 

Go Fund Me campaigns
Go Fund Me page was started for Boushie’s family asking for donations so they could host a proper post-funeral feast and other funeral expenses.

As of Friday night the Go Fund Me page raised $8,690 of its $10,000 goal.
While the family’s fundraising campaign was embraced on social media, another campaign was quickly launched and shut down.

The alleged shooter’s campaign, apparently to raise money to pay for his legal defence, reached $1,000 before it was shut down.

The crowdfunding site has a policy against fundraising in support of people accused of being involved in criminal activities.

Gerald Stanley of Biggar has been remanded into custody until Aug 18th, after he briefly appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court on Aug 11th.
