Dozens attend ‘Justice for Colten’ rally in Red Deer
Enough is enough.
That was the message from the organizer of a ‘Justice for Colten’ rally held in downtown Red Deer on Monday.
Last Friday, a jury in Battleford, Saskatchewan found Gerald Stanley, 56, not guilty of second degree murder after Colten Boushie, a member of the Red Pheasant First Nation was shot and killed on Stanley’s farm Aug. 9, 2016.
The case sparked heated debate in rural Saskatchewan between landowners who blame Indigenous people for high rates of property crime and First Nations who bear the brunt of that racism and hate.
