Thugs in Saskatoon made a practice of arresting indigenous people and leaving them at isolated places, on freezing cold nights, when their clothing was not adequate to survive. They were likely to die as a result. One victim knew a place where he could find shelter, and survived to testify.

Two thugs who were known to have killed indigenous people in this way were later convicted of a crime for that, and sentenced to prison. That's better than what usually happens to killer thugs, which is that they are never prosecuted at all; but the crime they were convicted of was an understatement.

They should have been charged with murder. They must have expected that the men they dumped in the cold were likely to die as a result, and intended that result.

It seems that the attempt to kill Darrell Night was motivated only by his being merely a nuisance.
