I lived in Kelowna twice, first in the 70s then again in the 10s. I saw it first-hand.
Basing an opinion on anecdotal evidence without all of the facts presented is a dangerous thing to do.
Food for thought.
Commenter provided ab opinion and provided the context for it...
What's your problem here?
Some people hold the opinion that all Indigenous people are dangerous criminals. Some of those same people have first hand experience with a criminal who happens to be Indigenous.
Does the context of experience justify the opinion, even though it is not at all based in fact?
Is it problematic to make sweeping claims about an entire group of people and blame them for an incident without the facts to back it up?
I mean, have you been to Kelowna? That was my first thought as well.
Is this relevant to the questions I asked in the comment you are responding to?
I suppose I should have responded to your further up comment, I'm an amateur commenter. But my point stands, Kelowna is full of wealthy suburban Alberta hyper-individualistic types....
It is weird how invested you are in this.
I am sorry to have upset you by pointing out OP is spreading misinformation based on anecdotal evidence and not the content of the article.
He expressed an opinion and that you got butthurt over it... Nothing was misreprented.
Misinformation is presenting a falsehood as fact. This is a basic concept and you have hard distinguishing the two.
Can you quote the comment that demonstrates I am being "butthurt"?
Nothing in the article speaks about the class of the victim, assailants, or their parents.
Do you believe it is okay to blame a group of people for a violent attack before knowing it was carried out by that group of people?
And similarly, someone can point out that someone else's opinion is vile and based on shit reasoning without some hypocrite spazzing out ;)
