Canada is healing.
Good. The store clerk was defending himself against the robber.
I’d hate to be the crown attorney who was probably forced to charge this.
I’m glad he was found not guilty, but it is insane that he had to be assaulted, take a bat to the head, then be charged with assault when he got the upper hand on the assailant.
I’m not condoning violence, but this country needs a reality check when it comes to self defense and punishing the victims with the courts.
The Crown decided to bring this to trial, yet refuses to prosecute any of the Team Hamas protestors for mischief, hate, obstructing roads and disturbing the peace?
As I suspected a prosecutor should have realized there was a snowball chance in hell this would lead to a guilty verdict by a jury…and dropped the case…same thing is gonna happen in the Lindsey Case.
Countless times we seen in canada juries and even many judges are quite sympathetic to self defense cases while police and prosecutors throw the book at people…idk why they think avg people have to act like legal experts in high stress self defense situations.
Very pleased.
This young man is an exemplary example of who we should be welcoming to Canada.
Why he was ever charged and prosecuted is another question.
>He says his focus now is to move on from the ordeal, which he says cost him “all his savings” in legal fees.
Yea thats still a problem.
What is the matter with the cop that laid the charges and the CA who proceeded with taking this to court?
Meanwhile real criminals have their cases dismissed due to delays…….
Someone should……
Cop trying to defend the charge. I d i o t. Victims defending themselves during violent crimes need to be held to a much LOWER standard. A police officer faced with a violent armed criminal is trained to shoot until the mag is empty. Cashier on the night shift can’t take a few extra swings… this should never have gone to trial.
Go broke from legal fees because you had to defend yourself from getting killed.
Charging people with this crap has got to stop.
Being found not guilty does not mean you get paid back for your lost time and lawyer fees.
How is it possible he was even charged? Canada must unwokify – hard times incoming.
So he was assaulted physically by the robber and now financially by the legal system?
He should be allowed to claim these legal expenses as a tax write off
The clerk didn’t say “sorry” and make the robber a cup of tea and perhaps a sandwich of his choice??! That outrageous for Canadian standard.
“Assault on bat wielding robber”
Yeah, that doesn’t really sound like “assault” to me.
The bat wielding robber or any robber deserves whatever they get. The author of their own misfortune.
Nobody in this situation should ever be charged.
This story has been posted repeatedly. Watch the full video, the struggle started in the store then moved outside, once the clerk got the bat the thief ran, the clerk hit him and he went down. Then the clerk hit him again while he was on the ground.
It’s obvious that second hit is what got him charged. A judge may have found him guilty, but a jury was convinced to let him go. Moral of the story, don’t hit someone in the head with a bat when they’re lying on the ground unconscious, even if they were initially the aggressor.
And his life will still be ruined because this whole process cost his entire savings
This shouldn’t even be a problem in Canada.
The fact you can’t protect yourself from some devil out of hell trying to harm you or your property or your family is insane.
I have no sympathy for the robber, but he smacked him in the back as he was running away and then again while he was lying on the ground.
Not surprised he was acquitted, but also not surprised he was charged. He probably would have had the first one for free.
Acquit? There should never have been a charge to acquit them of. He did the right thing.
He shouldn’t have to bankrupt himself to address this nonsense charge.
I used to visit this very, very sketchy convenience store many late nights when I lived in the area and would often share a cigarette with the store clerk in question. I think he liked me because I was one of his least scary regulars. He’s a good dude, was just trying to get by, and dealt with loads bullshit literally every night. This is a really rough part of town.
I’m so thankful this chapter is over for him. It was a terrible situation that he didn’t deserve to be in.
The way i look at it if you weren’t doing a criminal act you wouldn’t of gotten a baseball bat to the head your fault period
