So Aaron, I came across an article from 2014. Between 2010 and 2012 US border agents stepped in front of vehicle 62 times to justify shooting. Guess whose name is mentioned Jon Ross has been under review for repeatedly doing this

The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests and intimidation tactics by the American regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. This Canadian strongly condemns the killing of protestors, and urges the UnSA to allow for freedom of expression & peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

As the right-wing meme page Canada Proud was posting calls to "DEFUND THE CBC," the same PR firm behind it was being indirectly funded by CBC journalists’ own union dues.
Yeah. And that's not all.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
