This POS deserves nothing more than to rot in his cell for the rest of his days.

lostfaith, This time I agree with you. In fact he should be put to death the same way.

Too bad we ain't like Texas. We could save lotsa ink.

I think it is exceptionally cruel to the families involved to have to continue to relive this nightmare. Another case that comes to mind right away is Clifford Olson and his frivilous lawsuits against the victims families, until it was finally stopped.

We have to do more to stop the suffering of the survivors, give them peace and an end to the nightmare.

Dangerous Offender legislation was a step in the right direction, but it was not a step far enough.

I believe in lethal injection capital punishment for exceptional cases such as the two mentioned above.

Homicidal predatory behavior.

"...Eastham says there never seemed to be remorse..."

Scary stuff! He shouldn't be out of jail. There are just too many repeat offenders.

Vocer, thanks buddy I will sleep better.

Offenders such as this puke should first be castrated then put in a room with the father or maybe in this case an uncle or any suviving furious relative of those little girls. Give him 10 minutes with him and if he is still alive let him rot in jail.

defintley should have been teminated for good when found guilty.The system is so scewed up the good people are not safe anymore we should all pack iron and use it on pieces of shit like this. It would save the country a lot of money...

yeah save money by having to put your homicidal vindictive ass through a court system already plugged with idiotic cases or waste even more money with appeal after appeal while trying to execute the man.

Exceptional rulings? We are all treated the same under the laws of this country are we not?

Some of you really ought to think before you type.

I agree that we need to respect the hurt and pain inflicted on the victims families by these monsters, but lets also look for a little more creativity than simple revenge tactics, which have certainly not made Texas a shining declaration or example of law-biding citizens.

The National Parole Board, now there is a class act. I can't go on about them as I would just get deleted.

Should have hung him high the minute after he confessed!

Howie you are amazing. No one is talking about revenge here. It is just cleaning house. Just because you don't throw the cat out for crapping on the carpet, doesn't mean the rest of would ignore it.

hwrdbstern comes across like a defender of our so called justice system while (I think) he is just trying to point out that the system is supposed to treat all of us equally, and without predjudice, even if it does not, in my opinion.
There is no doubt that the scum bag killer should never again see the light of day, and to allow a four hour excursion is just plain stupid. This greasy turd may have been planning an escape around the possibility of such an excursion being granted. Then he would probably re-offend, and so what if he gets caught? what can they do, sentence him to life? He only has one life to give, and he owes society at least as many lives as he took back in '82.
So we can't hurt him any more than keeping him locked up. It is not right, it is unfair to the families and friends, and it is unfair to the honest taxpaying citizens of our once great country. At the very least these sick bastards should have to earn their keep, like they would with Sheriff Joe in Maricopa county, Az. He does not allow the convicts in his custody any extras like coffee and cigarettes. They have to live in tents and wear pink clothes, but they are still given three squares and shelter, more consideration than many of their ilk show their victims.
metalman.

100% correct metalman guy should be done away with right after the confession. I would have no hesitation about placing the rope around his neck or bullet between his eyes ect. I think that the only who should be allowed to show mercy in a case like this is the people most invloved[family]

"Some of you really ought to think before you type."

Good advice...you should take it.

Mr Stern - please read "The Seventh Shadow" (the book written by Officer Eastham on this case). If you can find any possible way to defend this guys life after reading all the details please let me know.

Another example of our hopeless legal system. ( not a justice system) Where do we get these lame-brains who make these decisions ? Probably the same place we find our hopeless judges. Maybe we should go for a system where we elect our judges

Life should be exactly that...life.
You don't come out until you stop breathing.
Life in Canada is NOT life and that's wrong.

And one more thing...when I think back to when they eliminated the death penalty,I was under the impression that LIFE in prison would replace death,at least that's the way the bleeding hearts sold it to Canada.
What the hell happened to that?
When and how did a life sentence in prison become negotiable?

The lawmakers, (Politicians) and lawyers work together to keep the revolving doors of our justice system well lubed and other wise well maintained for one purpose.

It makes them wealthy.

Like I have said before here, if the scum of our planet were to be locked up forever the lawyers would be out of work in short order.

Our govt allows these scumbags back out on our streets. Therefore they condone the criminal activity of these losers.

All it takes is for the govt to change the laws and all the honest, normal people on this planet wouldn't have too much to worry about.

Keep demanding change and it may happen one day.

A lot of you guys watch to many movies and buy into crap like Charles Bronson in Death Wish 1,2,3.

For all the tough talk that I read and hear over the years into sick killers, and rapists, like Olson, Manson etc;, I have never heard of an instant where the Father, Brother, Uncle, etc; ever took a rifle or pistol and tried to shoot these guys.

If those people who are immediately effected by these horrid crimes do not take any action on their own to eleminate these people, or at least attempt to do so, then it is highly unlikely that anyone on this site will ever do so.

Talk is cheap. Action speaks louder than words. If you want the death penalty re-instated then you have to get involved and try to get the Government to do so., While we blame the Government for all these problems, at the end of the day we are the Government.

Lynching and Castrating has been done in the past, and on a number of occasions it was done to innocent people. You cannot run a society on mob mentality.

There have been a large number of innocent people executed in the United States in the last 25 years. Can you imagine what it is like to be hanged, electrocuted, or injected for a crime you didnt commit, and not having anyone beleive you, even though you are innocent?

I certainly agree that those people convicted of these types of crimes should get actual life in prison, with no hope of parole, and this is a problem that the Government has to look at and try to fix.

Write to your MP with your concerns at least then you have made an effort, which would be a lot more than most people do.

If you get capital punishment re-instated then you can apply for the job of Hang Man, Electrocutionist, or Drug Injector. These types of jobs are not easily filled, and would require you to be annonymous because lots of people would avoid contact with you, if they knew you earned your living by killing people.


Have a nice day.

palopu makes some sense.

"palopu"

Make some sense is right!! This asshole, David Shearing, is a self confessed mass murderer. He wiped out 3 generations of a family,for no good reason, and you can honestly stand there and defend this piece of s--t!!

Are you among them!! You are very scary, to say the least!!

I will apply for the executioners job, and all of my friends will be proud of me! Rope them, needle them, or wire them, I don't care!! They are worthless to society! Just get rid of them. Clifford Olson, Paul Bernardo, David Shearing, all very guilty! Let me at them!! Justice will be served for the victims, and society.

one more thing, I think the "guillotine", in public, is the way to go. After the blade comes down, their head stays alive for about 7 seconds, gives them a chance to think about what they have done, and why they have ended up like this!!

They are brutal killers! They deserve nothing better!

palopu, get a head on your shoulders!

Hmm 4 hours release, into public, Hmm, me thinks it's rabbit season.

Under heavy security. That heavy security provided by innocent working people who have families to go home to at night, and a job to do.

That 'splain it to you Lucy ?

In fact Palopu, there are many cases around the world where the family members of murder victims have dispatched those that took their loved ones.
It's not all that uncommon.
I also give them a high 5.

There might be places around the world where this happened, but not in Canada eh;

My point is that if we want capital punishment re-instated, then people have to get of thier comfy butts and do something about it. Ranting and raving to the local paper or on this site will hardly get it done. In fact we will be on a different subject by to- morrow.

I am not against capital punishment for these types of crimes, however I do have a problem of innocent people getting caught up by our somewhat inefficient law enforcement agencies, and getting hung. Therein lies the problem.

Without the capital punishment option, life in prison without parole is the next best option.

Mob violence, or individuals killing people is not an option.

In some respects though, do you think that ever this man dares to walk amongst us again ? I feel doubtful.
