What did Thomas Scott do to make Louis Riel kill him?
Louis Riel did not kill Thomas Scott. --------------------------------- Riel's government had Scott tried for defying the governments authority. Five of the seven members of the court, lead by Lieutenant A. Lapine, voted for the execution. Another government, from far away, representing other people, acted on their authority and traveled to the West and killed Riel. It was that government that gave us the narrative that Riel killed Scott. The reasons for Scotts execution, as for Riel's are many. Scott was violent and challenging the validity of the government selected by local people. He was also threatening life's and had already escaped and make it clear that should he be released or escape again he would kill many people, particularly Catholic people no doubt. Fear was part of the reason, and it was important that people respect the legitimate government of the people.
