Law and order is not as complex as Liberals and NDP would have us believe.


Recommended Posts

The confusing of crime with mental health issues has become one of the greatest problems in the justice system.  As a result people who should be locked up are not and society is not being protected.   A criminal is a criminal is a criminal and cannot be confused with a mentally ill person.  If you want to look at it in that way, all criminals are mentally ill.  But that won't in and of itself protect society.  It is no reason to set these people free or refuse to lock them up.  But that is the ideology of the liberals and left.

Repeat offenders in towns and cities across B.C. have been constantly released by the courts to the chagrin of the RCMP, mayors, councils, business owners, and citizens.  These are offenders of assaults, break and enter, robbery, vandalism, etc.  They have been arrested and taken before a judge.  But because of ideology that these people are drug addicts, homeless, or people with mental issues, judges simply release them and they repeatedly go on to repeat their crimes.

The opposition party, the BC Liberals has lately been raising this issue with the BC NDP government to no avail.  The NDP says they appointed a committee to study the issue and the report came back that this is a complex issue involving drugs, and mental problems of these people.  Of course the committee the NDP appointed must be the same ideology as the leftist progressives and liberals who believe the criminals in society are all troubled individuals with mental issues and therefore should not be jailed.  As as result the NDP is refusing to take action such as telling prosecutors to keep these people locked up because the protection of society is foremost.

I just drove to Walmart and near there, a mentally-deranged, panhandler, jumped out almost in front of my car in order to freak me out.  He didn't make it out far enough to get hit, but I get the message;  he was trying to shock me.

This is the kind of guy I am talking about who is likely involved in crime and law-breaking and should be locked up.  If the courts deem him mentally-ill, then he should be placed in a mental institution, no if's and's and but's.  Just put him and all the rest who are deemed as suffering mental illness.   If they can't put them in prison for crimes they commit because they are mentally ill, then they should be in an institution.  Stop the ongoing assaults, vandalism, robberies, etc.  Leaving these people on the streets in towns and cities across BC is causing a lot of grief, stress, and lost revenue for businesses and harm to people.

There seems to be this Constitution and Charter of Rights thing in the way.

The one that says "the BC NDP and the BC Liberals" don't get to tell the Judges what to do, so it makes their rant a little pointless, doesn't it? The Crown Prosecutors are already asking for more severe penalties and God knows if we'll every hear any of the times they get their way. We only hear about ones like the loonie that was pinned by bystanders, they asked to be remanded and the Jusge let him out on OR.

This is just Law & Order grandstanding by the BC Liberals, copying the Harper Conservative law& order Bill every 24 hours of their entire term dog and pony show. Hell they should just change their name to BC Conservative as that's what it should've been since the day the Socreds took over the old Liberal Party.
