How has the tragic case of this young man not caused outrage?

Imagine if he had been a person of colour or ethnic minority.

The Police handling of this case raises serious questions.

The killer behaved appallingly, lying to Police and then getting his family to hide weapons and cover for him.

It’s also astonishing to learn Sikhs can carry these knives in public because they are “ religious regalia”

For anyone that isn’t aware of this tragedy here is a link.

I thought there was a twelve minute recording of the two brothers discussing their stories , in Punjabi, in the back of the Police car

No, Sarnia it was already shown that swifter action would not have saved his life.

It's difficult to take anything as irrefutable truth when the facts keep slowly trickling out.
At the beginning, had nobody questioned, we would have believed it was all just a tragic event, presumably with the police acting exactly how they should have.

The Solicitor General is referring this case to the Court of Appeal. She considers the sentence to be far too lenient, which it is. I think I read somewhere that the decision to award a lower sentence was because the knife was being worn for ceremonial and religious reasons.

Well then he abused that (dubious) concession and privilege, which makes the crime worse in my view 😠
