A violent attack on a teenage girl that was caught on video by multiple people in Kelowna, B.C., has prompted her father to come forward, demanding answers and justice.
Kelowna RCMP say the attack happened on Friday evening, and that the video has been circulating “widely” online in the southern Interior community, around 270 kilometres east of Vancouver in B.C.'s Okanagan.
RCMP say the attack happened in the area of Boyce-Gyro Beach Park and was one of several incidents of youth committing criminal offences, including assault and mischief, in the area.
Rich entitled children of rich entitled parents …
I missed the part of the article that spoke about the assailants coming from upper class upbringings.
In fact the victim and assailants weren’t named.
Where are you getting your information?
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…
Yes next time he should just shove his opinion in his as and never express again so that some online clown don’t get his feels hurt 🤡
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.
