While I cannot speak to the accuracy of the other crimes listed on this timeline, I can say with certainty that the recap of Michael Amann-Ewaschuk is not a fair representation of what really happened. It is rather a generalized account based on reports and media stories that came after the fact.<br /><br />I knew the Ewaschuk family, and was friends with Mike's sister at the time that he was murdered. I was at the funeral, and the trial. The statements in the media that Mike was a skinhead and a racist were overblown. The neo-Nazi paraphenaelia on the bomber jacket of Mike's friend was nothing more than a German flag. I have read the reports of classmates claiming that he and his friends were skinheads. They are exaggerated and, quite frankly, ridiculous, given that they are accusations flung by teenagers at someone who is no longer alive to defend himself. Teenagers, I might add, who were all to eager to make it into the six-o'clock news. <br /><br />Michael Amann's father was German, having emigrated to Canada in early adulthood (he passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident when Michael was six and his sister was three). Michael was proud of his heritage, as was his sister, my friend. What was a display of pride in his heritage has been misrepresented by the media as racism.<br /><br />I'd like to point out, too, that at the time of Mike's murder, he was wearing a ball cap and a plaid jacket. His typical attire.<br /><br />You have also mentioned the incident where a reporter's nose was broken at the trial. Again, I don't think this is a fair representation, because it is not complete. The reporter in question was intent on talking to Mike's girlfriend outside of the courtroom. The reporter would not leave her alone, and grabbed her arm when she tried to turn away. I saw this. I was there at the trial. I do not condone the use of violence, but it is not as clear-cut as your recap paints it.<br /><br />What we know, the friends of the Ewaschuk family, is that the evidence which supports the claim that Mike was a racist skinhead is trumped up, exaggerated, and misrepresented. And sadly, the neo-Nazi movement has latched onto his murder, and has made Mike a martyr to their cause.<br /><br />This case is tragic, the family still grieves for Mike to this day. And it's unfair that he's being painted in this light by generalized accounts written by people who weren't there.<br /><br />I was there. I know better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-48291909093262784762015-01-24T16:48:54.547-07:002015-01-24T16:48:54.547-07:00This timeline is great.

Racism is a global issue challenged by many countries. It is identified as a serious issue that can cause social disturbance and moral panic in society. Racism also causes hate-crimes such as murder or racial harassment.

It has been rumoured that he has been, and still is a C.I. (confidential informant) for the police and that is why he has never received a federal prison sentence for any of his numerous crimes.<br /><br />Also Finlayson is known to be a coward and this is reflected in his numerous violent crimes. He clearly picks out his victims, sizes them up and ensures he can out-do them. Classic coward if you ask me. <br /><br />When he served time back in the 90s for armed robbery he got beat so bad in the local county bucket that he had his nose and check bones broken and he was kept in solitary confident for his own protection. Even then he was very chummy with the jail guards known to sit at their desk and play crib with them.<br /><br />Dwayne Finlayson is the cousin of the late Carol Finlayson featured here if you don’t already know that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-71104619169710153122011-12-09T20:07:53.058-07:002011-12-09T20:07:53.058-07:00What a cool article!
