The problem is finding the balance and for society as a whole to sort out which is which and act accordingly.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-49121897442650622382015-01-30T22:54:49.250-07:002015-01-30T22:54:49.250-07:00I'm sitting here shaking my head.

There are so many times when we just can't understand why a minor offense is given such a terrible sentence and a violent murderer is let out after 10 years. It's crazy.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-42877498064915547262015-01-30T06:35:58.508-07:002015-01-30T06:35:58.508-07:00It's sad but it's also infuriating that so...It's sad but it's also infuriating that somehow amidst all the wonderful people in the world, these people who have no conscience are getting more and more common. Yes, there is a problem with the laws and protocols and rights of criminals and all that, but the real problem is in the fact that there are more and more of these people who are so messed up inside. Unless we can fix them, help them before they get to this point, we will continue to be trying to contain a problem that seems only to be getting more out of hand. It's one of the reasons I stayed in high school teaching so long.

As I heard the news unfold, I was grateful for that. He, on the other hand, offered his help while they were still searching for this guy.

Unfortunately there are all kinds like this guy that are out on our streets in Canada, FREE, WILLING AND ABLE TO DO HARM TO OFFICERS, AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL. I feel so sad that another good officer has been lost. Ya know, even if a person takes a life, they don't get "LIFE". They have rights, afterall. Criminals have more rights and it gets worse. These friggin cowards always shoot themselves and you what really burns me - sex offenders served their time and are living next door to you, WHAT????? This happened to a friend of mine until he offended again and got a slap on the wrist. Yeah, some people should just be put on an island and fend for themselves.
