Stafford said the second-degree murder charge Muxlow is facing may get downgraded to manslaughter.

"It's a murder or a manslaughter and we always start at the high end for legal process reasons," Stafford said of the charge. "The Crown prosecutor can then downgrade the charges or, of course, the court can have a finding of whatever they want at trial."

And this "Heroic Muxlow" have gotten another attempted murder charge from another incident earlier on the same day of the alleged home invasion.

I'm beginning to think that Andrew is in some class where he needs to do current event reports, but doesn't want to read the article.

My favorite part is where this sets a "horrifying precedent" of believing suspects innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. Which means that our hero isn't going to jail either, he's being investigated for excessive force.

If you shoot someone, there's obviously going to be an investigation.

If people legit could not defend their own home and selves from an intruder, that is pretty messed up. However, is there information elsewhere about an actual law that now in fact makes it "illegal"? Because all I see is a questionable case that seems to have more to it behind the scenes and as told by a site I can not take seriously with a tagline that sounds to be written by a wannabe edgelord...

Haha, no. It's not illegal to defend yourself in Canada. A quick google search turns up ample proof of that.

This article from ammoland lays out what happens pretty clearly and even refers to the actual laws used to charge and try people. It even brings up another case where the same consequences played out, AND a group of frothing-at-the-mouth prosecutors wanting to send the guy to jail for defending his home. No one was even injured in the fray in which the homeowner used a gun QUITE responsibly. But the law, as it was written, prevailed. And the homeowner went free.

This is another case of Derangement Syndrome, where someone reads a clickbait "fake news" headline and insists the "libtard dumbocrats" are coming to take their guns.

Why people are so eager to believe these lies without doing any research to make sure something so bizarre isn't true is beyond me.

I would say that laying the cost of defense on the victim is a lousy move. At the very least, the attackers should be saddled with the bill. But that's the only unfair thing I can find here that I take issue with. Everything else is pretty common sense.

Tell me if you get an A+ for my report.
