1. Was he on private or municipal property when he fired the shots?
| quote: | | “He exited his house and fired his revolver two, maybe three times, we’re not sure. Then these firebombing culprits, they ran off,” said his lawyer, Edward Burlew. |

2. I find this to be a little bit odd.. what's a soft spoken man with no enemies doing with seven guns + video surveillance? I'm not saying that he doesn't have the right to protect himself with firearms on his own property. It just seems that he was expecting some sort of attack. It would be interesting to find out more about the relationships between Thomson, his neighbour, and the arsonists.
| quote: | | “I don’t have enemies,” said the soft-spoken man, who now studies environmental geosciences full-time at Brock University after being injured in a workplace accident. “I don’t know that many people. I’m a quiet man. I just want to go back to my life and be able to live out my days in relative peace.” |
| quote: | | His collection of seven guns, five pistols and two rifles was seized, along with his firearms licence. |

3. Completely off topic, but I'm curious to see what was written on those letters.
| quote: | “There were threats of protest, so they’ve cancelled the movie and these [letters] were delivered two hours ago to the mailroom,” said Sergeant Jeff Pilon.
By 7 p.m., the letters were cleared and considered “not suspicious at all.” |

I'm not talking about chickens, i'm talking about that case mentioned by the OP, tell me if someone was throwing molotov cocktails into your home, what would you do? |

Sorry but that article is written with an extremely biased opinion that is both sugar coating facts and leaving things out. You don't kill a chicken and get your house firebombed the next day, there's tons of stuff in between they're leaving out. For all we know he has a big criminal record and cops charged him based on that. Hard to form any accurate opinion on this without the whole story and history from both sides.
And like Jay was saying, no normal person with "no enemies" has full video surveillance and a bunch of guns. Killing something that crosses onto your lawn isn't exactly a neighbourly way of interaction. This guy is a lunatic just look through the biased massaging of the facts in this article and it's pretty obvious... |

That's all I could think during the G20. It's like they were doing research for "How to Enforce Martial Law in a Modern Day First World Nation". |

| A cop once told me, if you defend your house with a firearm its better to kill the person. Otherwise you could be in more trouble than the criminal. Dead man dont talk. |

Problem is that if you kill him, it's a done deal...
If you injure him, you're paying his ass for the rest of his life... |

Heh,
a buddy of mine went with his girlfriend for a week to Dominican Republic to visit friends (NOT to a resort). Their friend picked them up from the airport and they hit the road. Halfway through the journey, a black SUV pulls them over. Inside the SUV, several men with guns signal them to stop.
When they stopped, the men jumped on them, handcuffed them and showed them into the SUV.
They drove them out of the city to the middle of nowhere (some abandoned cemetery), took all of their belongings ($4000 worth), left them their passports and IDs and told them to run.
The next day, my friends went to the Canadian Embassy. The Ambassador, who graced them with his presence, first greeted them with "what do you want?" After my friends explained the situation, he simply chuckled and told them "well, there is nothing we can do to help you. You can only call your family for free so that they can send you money. Otherwise, you are on your own!" In other words, he told them to F*** off. The fact that Canadian citizens left penniless in the middle of nowhere doesn't bother our Canadian reps abroad. They are more concerned about "living the dream" than help us in trouble. |
