The bleeping truck was 15 years old, what's wrong with people? This applies to both the guy trying to steal it and the guy that executed someone for trying to steal his truck. This also applies to the people continuing to fight injustices against the indigenous people in Canada. Frig me, he was a dirtbag breaking into vehicles in the middle of the night thirty minutes away from his house. This wasn't a dumb drunk kid jumping on a car while walking home. He set out that night to break the law. He didn't deserve to die, but his indigenousness does nothing to excuse his behaviour.

Khill had argued at trial that his four years of training as an army reservist had kicked in when he instinctively grabbed a loaded Remington shotgun in his bedroom and went barefoot outside into the frigid darkness wearing a T-shirt and boxers to confront Styres.
Within seconds of spotting Styres leaning into his 15-year-old pickup truck, Khill yelled “hands up” and opened fire twice from just a few metres away, hitting him squarely in the chest. Styres, 29, who had no gun but may have had a screwdriver, died almost immediately.
Only then did Khill's girlfriend call 911 to the semi-rural property on the edge of Hamilton.
“We will continue to fight this injustice and fight for fair trials for Indigenous people in Canada,” Hooper said.
