That's what abortion is for. Get them before they have a chance to offend.
A lot of crazies out there. People have been killed for a lot less
Fair enough!
I have no doubt that most thieves/drug dealers reoffend. My specific worry comes with murders and I don't think that most of those do.
I agree it's a hot potato issue but I have no fixes either. I don't think life imprisonment is the answer (as you can probably tell).
We read about murders in the papers all the time, do you think they wouldn't mention it if the suspect had already been in jail for murder? How often do you remember seeing that? Yet it seems like people often assume that's what's going to happen.
It happens very rarely.
As for the Homolka argument, I can't comment on that. I don't know how authorities keep tabs on offenders with new identities/locations of residence.
Anyway, my point is, if this guy gets 2 years (or however little) or gets convicted of manslaughter, given the fact that he's not psychotic or something, PM me and I'll admit I was wrong!
The justice system is effed but not because of this. Let's get rid of HTA 172 and idiotic stuff like crazy sentences for dealing weed (who cares about weed??).

And we should have 'Stand Your Ground' laws like the US. If someone intentional knock your bike down, and by chance, you are carrying a Glock 22 as part of your religious requirement just like other religion has a sabre and your religion is with a gun.... you put two in the head and empty the rest on the centre mass of the punk who messed with your bike. And that would be a justifiable action....
I know, but it's context right. You wouldn't think a guy with a steady job (from the news it seemed like he was a mechanic) wouldn't bring a damn knife and just start stabbing. This doesn't seem irrational (so take away the crazy angle) and all you have is deliberate. It just seems fkd up up to kill a guy over 1k deliberately unless of course it's accidental I guess.
That never happens. I can see you know nothing about CDN law except what you read in the Sun.

oh yes, and you can just randomly run down people and shoot them. Great law. Anything from Florida is progressive.
People don't get killed for monetary amounts. They get killed over out-of-control emotions or panic, where there is no rationale thought. Killers never think about the consequences before the act, which is why states with capital punishment do not have any different murder rates than those without, and rates are much lower in Canada and the UK than the states. Consequences don't change anything.

Yes... I re-read the article... Maybe I am quite simple minded, actually pretty dumb, definitely not as smart as you..... I still see killing your own daughter out of inconvenience because she is autistic and getting only 2.5 years jail time and she is scott free, head back to China for a new life.
If she is mentally unstable and bipolar to a point of committing murder, that's why she drowned her own daughter, shouldn't she be locked up in some mental hospital?? Upon her release, she did admit regret but still blame autism for her action as she is quoted “the most stupid thing I have ever done.”
“I will feel great regret the rest of my life,” Peng said. “I miss my daughter every day. I still love my daughter. I hate autism.”
By that account, does all parents with an autistic child should get a lenient sentence if they couldn't take it anymore and put their child out of their misery?? This court case definitely provides a precedent.
I thought this was a motorcycle forum....
I usually give the option of settling outside of insurance. But as soon as they get mouthy I just tell them not to worry about it and then call insurance anyway.
Guy rear ended me. He wanted to offer me $300. Waste of time. I went thru insurance, got my bumper fixed plu a loaner. Cant get better than that

Well, I've also settled out of insurance too, and had to cough up $500. Sometimes if the damage is small enough, it makes sense to just do. For big stuff, I would definitely make sure that insurance takes care of it because I need a loaner car and everything.
I charge the other person for everything I'd get from insurance, too. Including rental car. I'm doing them a favor by not screwing up their insurance record. They can pay for everything for that favor.
