When someone beats another person to this extent,and even resorts to using baseball bat...they are fully aware that they could very well kill that person.
What does that say about the person doing the beating?
I would hope the judge takes that into consideration.
A fight is just that...a fight,but this is much more violent.
This kid almost died, and he will likely suffer brain damage to some extent.
There should be a serious price to pay for that.

It looks like the story that a baseball bat was used is not true. Still very serious of course.

It's awesome to see this community pull together like this, it's sad the cause that
brought it. Similar problems on Band lands have been going on for years, but on this one with a real good Chief and very good councilors, I really hope to see change coming. Dave's right of course. The RCMP can only do so much, the band has to pull together and let these young fellows know there's a better system in dealing with their anger and frustrations. I wish all of you well, good luck.

Not to mention the young woman who initiated the meeting, Denise Raymond, who is not a councilor.

Thanks, Bill.
