On Dec. 5, the accused was arrested following an incident involving Takyi. He was charged with three counts of assault, two counts each of assault with a weapon and weapons dangerous, and one count of threatening death.So what happened next?

“Her death was extremely violent,” Homicide Det.-Sgt. Brian Borg said Monday.Who could have seen that coming, huh?
He said Takyi was walking to her parked car to head to work around 4 a.m. when she was brutally attacked, allegedly by her former boyfriend.
She was stabbed, doused with “a flammable substance” and set on fire, Borg explained.
“The intensity of that fire has virtually left her body unrecognizable.”
“Needless to say, at the time that this homicide was committed, the accused was in breach of numerous conditions of his court ordered release,” Borg said.Yup... including, what was it... oh, that's right... threatening death.
VANCOUVER -- "Only one-third of aboriginal students are graduating, with the rate dropping 1.3% last year, according to a school board report."That's among the one third that graduates, I presume?
"The same report sampled groups of aboriginal pupils in elementary schools and found the students are three times more likely to miss class, and tend to have 20% lower literacy and numeracy scores than non-aboriginal students."
"The rate of deaths from injuries is 3 to 4 times higher for Aboriginal children than for other children in Canada."Need more?

Hey, Chris... did somebody actually say you had to arrest "everybody"? I was thinking maybe just the people who were observed breaking the law."We’re going to try to talk through a de-escalation of any tension and come up with some parameters."Oh, that's so sweet.
"So if my friends and I decide we're going to 'strike' because we're not happy with Ontario's electricity rates, you're going to let us block the 401 next week? Don't worry, we'll give you and your commanders a call ahead of time to "discuss the parameters". We'll even bring donuts."Orwell was so, so right.
"Grand Chief David Harper of the Okimakanak First Nation described Theresa Spence as their very own 'Mother Theresa'. I don’t remember reading reports of the Calcutta nun rolling on 20″ rims."That's weird. The way the Canadian lapdog media was grimly reporting this thing, I pictured freezing, windblown tarpaper shacks... and an emaciated, aboriginal Joan of Arc... not a tricked out Hummer en-route to a fancy hotel.
"There's no money mismanaged. There's no money missing." - Carolyn Bennett MP, Liberal Aboriginal Affairs critic on the Attawapiskat audit.Alrighty... problem solved.

"There’s all kinds of good news here. First and foremost, Mr. Thomson did nothing wrong and should never have been charged in the first place. But an acquittal on all counts will have to do. Second, there is further clarification of Canada’s sloppy gun laws, and a reasonable one, at that."Here's a thought... suppose these criminals had firebombed a police officer's home.
"And best of all, a message has been sent to overreaching Crown attorneys. Canadians have the right to use firearms to defend themselves and their homes."
"Seven charity workers, six of them women, have been shot dead in north-west Pakistan, police say. Of the seven people who were killed, two were health workers and five were teachers."Well then... they were forced into it by the CIA.
"'Militants' targeting a vaccination programme are suspected."
"Last month, in a series of attacks, gunmen killed nine health workers taking part in a national polio vaccination drive."
"While the Pakistani Taliban have denied carrying out the killings, they have long denounced the vaccination drive as a Western plot either to gather intelligence or to sterilise Muslim children."
