That is FAST! Good work! Dumb Criminal.

Beautiful!

I too think this boy* wanted to be caught.

Maybe if our Canadian prisons were not such an easy place for criminals to do their time in, it would be more of a deterrant for crime in general. My own belief regarding prisons is that they should all have to participate in work programs, no t.v, and serve full sentences. Just my opinion.

Oh Watchdog, the bleeding heart Libs destroyed the criminal system years ago. In the Lib world, those ‘poor souls’ should be pampered, respected and loved.. while the victims can rot, suffer in silence.

The penal system (not criminal system) has evolved from pure punishment to rehabilitation and re-integration into society. It is not perfect. Nobody has ever claimed that it is. The bleeding heart thing is just another political slogan used by those who do not have a humane alternative for what needs to be done when crimes are committed. Chain gangs, perhaps? What if the criminal happens to be your father, mother, brother, sister, son or daughter?

Look at the Libs come out of the woodowrk. I also agree that ‘Libs’ are the root of most problems in society today. Trust me, if it was my family who committed a crime, I would have zero problem with them doing the time.

I love how ‘PrinceGeorge’ has all these mighty standards and stands tall among the less fortunate, because he obviously has never endured a personal tragedy. I bet your tune changes fast if your child was abducted, abused, murdered etc. If you still had remorse for the person, who perpetrated a horrific crime on someone you love, or didn’t even know, I would detest you as a person.

I wouldn’t want you as my neighbor, I wouldn’t want you in the same town. Why don’t you show up to the next court case where a child has been raped, and tortured, and go make the criminal feel good, and explain to the parents how he has to be ‘forgiven and rehabilitated’. You wouldn’t have the balls to do that. You are an armchair Lib, never been touched by a tragedy.

If I were the cops, I would have sat and waited for the dealer to show up and got a two-for-one deal…just a thought.

Build all new prisons in the arctic.

This would be a substantial deterrent after spending any time up there. Winters are awfully cold, and summers are only just above freezing and lots and lots of black flies, mosquitoes and other irritating pests.

Plus, there would not need to be as much of security perimeter because they could watch the prisoner “run away” for three days, just to see if they need to collect the escapee or just the remains from the polar bear feast.

I am sure that any prisoner returning from that sort of environment would not be willing to return, ever. They would either straighten up or resist arrest to the point of final resolution or suicide by police.

Problem solved.
