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?

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....
Mischief is such a weird crime. It sounds entirely too benign.
Three teens involved in the assault have been arrested ...

As well they should be, but the sentence:
...youth committing criminal offences, including assault and mischief, in the area.
Makes me wonder what else they got up to that wasn't enough to stop them before it escalated to assault.
