  • A Canadian man on Monday was sentenced to eight years in prison for throwing a trailer hitch from a moving vehicle that killed an indigenous woman out for a stroll. Brayden Bushby, now 22, had been drinking heavily and was a passenger in the vehicle driving around Thunder Bay, Ontario looking to harass sex trade workers in the early morning of January 29, 2017, his manslaughter trial heard. He reportedly laughed and yelled "got one," after the metal hitch he tossed from an open window struck Barbara Kentner in the abdomen as she was walking with her sister on a residential street. Kentner, 34, who was from the Wabigoon Lake First Nation, died six months later in hospital after undergoing surgery. A forensic pathologist linked her death to injuries sustained in the drive-by attack. Ontario Superior Court Justice Helen Pierce at the sentencing hearing noted testimony that "it is a common experience for indigenous people in Thunder Bay to have objects thrown at them from passing cars. "Eggs, drinks, bottles, bricks, garbage. You have joined in this disgusting activity. Now we can add trailer hitches to that list," she was quoted by public broadcaster CBC as saying in court. The sentencing follows the recent discovery of 215 unmarked graves of indigenous students at a former residential school in the province of British Columbia that has put a spotlight on racist policies and attitudes. The Kamloops Indian Residential School was the largest of 139 boarding schools set up in the late 19th century to assimilate Canada's indigenous peoples. Physical and sexual abuses by headmasters and teachers who stripped students of their culture and language is now blamed for a high incidence of poverty, alcoholism and domestic violence, as well as high suicide rates, in indigenous communities. amc/bfm
