Karla Homalka is walking free, has a family and children - she'll never be a productive member of society and meanwhile 2 families (3 if you count the Homalkas) are trying to deal with their murdered children - which they'll never recover from. So, my answer is....Yes! hang the bitch and anyone who does the same.

Between this and your comments in the "War on terror" thread, you keep sounding like a Trump supporter.

Why should we spend more money on these dangerous offenders? These people that Citizen has been talking about are people who are beyond counselling. You and Dialamah (see below) are bringing in ridiculous scenarios and drawing false equivalenies. As for your last sentences, it's not murder and it's not vengeance - it's called punishment, remember that? Punishment! Are we so far down the road of Political correctness, that we can't "punish" a child molester/killer anymore?

Well, as BCSapper said, I do think we're protected from the Pictons who are in prison. But, clearly death penalty cases are not taken lightly and we're surely not gonna impose it on a run of the mill "he said, she said" cases. But, if we're talking about the Karla Homalka types that do get out and are clearly guilty of the most heinous of crimes - then yeah, I'll go for the death penalty rather than subject even one person to the likes of her.

Dialamah, you're talking about cases that wouldn't be "death penalty cases". And when you say that people should be rehabilitated to become productive members of society, again, you are not talking about death penalty cases because lets face it - that is a complete impossibility. I'm sure Citizen is talking about the Clifford Olson or Willie Picton types - I would assume

Not mayhem yet, but how many terrorist plots (that we know of) have be thwarted in the Toronto area.

I wonder if they still laugh at jokes like that in France or Germany. "put on those chastity belts girls it's New Years Eve - haha!"

All one needs to do is look at the populations of muslims in other countries, then look at what is going on in those countries relative to the population. It's as simple as connecting the dots. In every western country (or community), when the muslim population goes to 5%, that's when the trouble starts. Argus is only wrong about timeline, we'll be at 5% sooner than he thinks.

I think you just answered your own question - or exclamation as it were. We're not talking about a wrestling match. You actually think that murdered men should've somehow defended themselves? What about Mary Winkler who shotgunned her husband in the back, should he have defended himself?

What a ridiculous concept. Have you ever had someone come at you with a knife or gun? Have you ever even been in a fight?

I have no problem sending someone to the afterworld, but why only killers of women and children? What about the guy who gets gunned down in cold blood going to the corner store at 2am or the guy who is shot in his sleep by an angry woman - what about justice for them?

Oh, different applications of Sharia - I get it now. Sorta like different applications of rape (as you brought in earlier), some rape isn't as bad as other types of rape - right? Which application are you comfortable with? The kind like in your beloved Egypt which indicates that 70% believe in Sharia including 90% who agree with execution for leaving Islam. Some Sharia law is "good Sharia law" then; maybe you should explain the Sharia law that we all seem to be missing.

Would you agree with statistics that show that about half of middle eastern people believe in sharia law?

I can't believe that people will actually argue that we have values in Canada. Just because some dude hit his wife doesn't mean we don't value women, just because someone yelled fag or rag head at some point doesn't mean that we are collectively intolerant. We do have values and a belief system, one that people have worked hard to achieve and some here want to diminish or completely discredit those efforts? In France, England, Sweden and many other places across europe and scandinavia, those values that people worked hard for and in cases died for are being marginalized. Germany for example, women have rights - but wait, the authorities are covering up for sexual assaults and telling women to stay home or travel in groups. Give you're head a shake people.

Every thing you say and everything you do has a price - everything. Buddy has the right to protest in his way, but there is a price to be paid for that protest. Just because he is exercising his rights, doesn't mean his statement is without a price.

The problem is; she can't actually be helped. If she has the mental capacity of a 13 YO, and given the other professional comments ,they are almost certainly saying she has FAS. If that's the case, she can easily be coerced to do the exact same thing. People with FAS or people with a diminished capacity don't learn from cause and effect, and they don't learn from counselling or punishment either.

I just watched Watermelon Man again - a timeless classic from 1970. If anyone hasn't seen it, I recommend they do.

We are learning it directly from the media, they are the ones causing the separation. Back in the day, the left would define politics simply by saying "if you are good and loving, you're a democrat/liberal, the conservatives are hateful and mean", the right would say that they have common sense and the liberals were simply flakes. Today, the liberals/progressives have ramped that up to racists, homophobes, misogynists and bigots. Just like the Nazis and how they successfully reduced the jewish people to rats and how the the americans reduced the Vietnamese, Germans and Japanese to gooks, krauts and japs - in order to attack them without guilt. The left, being led by the media has successfully reduced conservatives/republicans down to the lowest form of human (if even that) - one that deserves the abuse. You can turn on CNN or MSNBC at any time and see a panel of 3 or 4 liberals shouting down some conservative with absolutely no respect given. Sometimes they'll even have all their chairs aimed at that person. 10 years ago, the Dixie Chicks said they were embarrassed by president Bush, they were protested by the right and rewarded from the left - today, that comment would be nothing, not even noteworthy. In the last 12 hours, I've seen Don Cheadle call Trump a piece of sh1+ that should die in a grease fire, a roast where Ann Coulter was the one attacked, calling her a Cnnt and Trump being called everything from from racist to psychopath - and this is from influential and seemingly smart people. Tomorrow, there will be a new celebrity come out with something more outrageous than that. The media has fully led us down this road.

Well, yeah, they will. Why does someone want to educate themselves, risk their lives or be put into camp situations for 20-25$ per hour when they can be a coffee barista or greeter at walmart for 20$. If minimum wage was 20$, you must know that everyone from nurses, teaches, mechanics, lab techs, Ea's, janitors...whatever would be insisting on more money too. One would be a fool to not know this. Give your head a shake!

What an absolutely idiotic post. Do you have any idea how that would affect people already making 20$ P/H?

Yes, I know. However, to say anything against Islam is met with "racism" comments, I've decided to just go with it.

The liberals are always gonna have a conundrum trying to please both the muslims and women (not to mention gays). With the muslims also having minority status and racism on their side, they always seem to come out ahead of women. BTW - The "burkina" thing is stupid, the totally wrong fight and if it's struck down then that's a good thing.

There are a lot of examples of dumbing down the english language for americans.

Believe it or don't believe it- I couldn't care less.

First off, we don't know that anybody has or is hired to do this from Russia. Secondly, Hillary is spending millions on trolls to saturate social media - this is no secret. Thirdly, liberals (small l or big L) don't need to be paid to slag Trump on the internet. Both sides are playing the social media game - are you surprised by this or just surprised that it's not all pro Hillary? What do you think of news people and media pundits from outside USA telling Trump to step down?
