In Canada, a place where they restrict law abiding citizens (remember, criminals by definition do NOT obey laws) from owning self defense weapons, criminals can murder innocent unarmed victims and only get TWO years AND PROBATION…………. and Canada calls THIS justice, glad I’m an American Citizen!

Four men sentenced for home invasion

SASKATOON — Four men involved in a March home invasion in which an
18-year-old North Battleford man was killed were sentenced Wednesday to
just under two years in custody.

Donald Baker and Richard Milman, both 20, and Matthew Johnson and Corey
Smith, both 19, appeared together in provincial court in the morning. In
June, all four had pleaded guilty to breaking and entering and weapons
charges. They were collectively sentenced to two years less 20 days for
time served, and have all been put on a firearms probation for five
years.

On Mar. 25, the four were a part of a group of six men who broke into
the home of Trevor Pelchat, in retaliation for a robbery, Crown
prosecutor Dennis Cann said in an interview Wednesday.

According to Cann, the problems began the night before, when two men,
Justin Brewer, 23, and Kyle Boire, 20, broke into Baker’s home. They
made off with about $3,000 worth of cash, he says.

The next evening, the four men, accompanied by Nicholas Ewanchuk, 26,
and Michael Matechuk, 23, went looking for Brewer and Boire. They broke
into Pelchat’s home because he was a friend of Brewer’s, says Cann. As
the others confronted each other, Pelchat tried to escape by running
into the kitchen. Matechuk followed him, reached around the door and
stabbed him, Cann says.

At this point, the fighting stopped and the young men called police
before running out the door. Pelchat was transported to the hospital
shortly afterward, where he died from his injuries, says Cann.

When they heard Pelchat had died, Baker, Johnson, Milman and Smith
decided to turn themselves in to police, says Cann. Ewanchuk was also
arrested without incident.

Matechuk took off, and a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.
Remaining at large for two and a half months, Matechuk turned himself in
to RCMP in June. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and will spend the
next 10 years in prison.
