blackbird Posted October 9, 2022 Report Posted October 9, 2022 We can thank the BC NDP, federal Liberals and the perverse justice system for this attack. Man arrested following stabbing spree in Vancouver park (msn.com) Quote

There does seem to be more and more mass stabbings lately though. Pretty sure there was another one in Langley a few months ago. Then then was that big one with all the murders on the Indian reserve. Others too, I think. Apparently they're a real big problem in China but the media tries to keep it quiet. Edited October 11, 2022 by Infidel Dog Quote
ExFlyer Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 And how is the government responsible for a man randomly stabbing people? Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.

It is a big bill, it's an omnibus bill that the Liberals used to rant about when they were in opposition. Bill C-75 makes it almost impossible to hold the people who are making these random attacks, that's why you see people arrested for these crimes and immediately put back on the street even though they have caused severe injuries to their victims. Courts are next to useless when it comes to protecting the public. The default position of the courts when a person violates conditions of release, is to just remove the condition. This just happened with a 17 year old in our town who continually violated a court imposed curfew. What does that teach a 17 year old other than he can get away with anything.

Aristides Posted October 11, 2022 Report Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Quote The Court emphasized a number of key principles and guidelines to apply in a contested bail hearing, including that releasing the accused without conditions should be the default position when granting release and that “release is favoured at the earliest reasonable opportunity on the least onerous grounds."

Many if not all these stabbings are done by repeat offenders who have gone through the revolving door repeatedly. They have been arrested by police, brought before the court and released on conditions, which they ignored. Some are seriously mentally ill. They should have either been locked in prison or should be in a mental institution. The protection of the public should come first, not the offender's right to be free. Quote

Allowing camping out in Stanley Park only invites the right people doing the right things? LOL Crime, stabbings, shootings etc happen all over and has been going on forever.

It has long been an issue of keeping people incarcerated too long. Activists and others have demand they be released and rehabilitated in the community. Parole was deemed more punishment. So, they are released. The"people" are organizations and activists that have lobbyed the governments and won. My comment to the OP was that the article did not identify who the attacker was so they cannot and should not make assumptions they cannot support. Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Nope but I did not lobby the government to lessen imprisonment and rehabilitate in the community. Having said that, my initial comment was to question the assumption is was a released criminal when there was no report of that in the article. Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

blackbird Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) A man was just released today after assaulting a woman on Sept. 27 with a pipe, even though he has 30 convictions including many assault convictions. Incredible. This is an almost daily occurrence. When will the government and legal system act to protect the citizens? I would not feel safe in Vancouver or many other cities.

That was not in the article you linked. Pay for more police. Do not hamper the police. Don't allow encampments. Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

blackbird Posted October 20, 2022 Author Report Posted October 20, 2022 We just heard on the BCTV news that the man charged with 1st degree murder of an RCMP officer at his tent in a Burnaby park has a record of violent assaults and yet he was out on conditions. Just another example of the failed justice system that cost this young RCMP officer her life. Quote
I am Groot Posted October 20, 2022 Report Posted October 20, 2022 This article would seem to fit in nicely here. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-justice-system-that-refuses-to-stop-releasing-violent-criminals 1 Quote
