On Being a Murderer
I've been watching and listening to the news about the former hockey players who have come out about the horrific abuse they suffered thanks to Graham James. Today, I felt a bit of relief when I was able to cast my vote at this CBC article. At the time of my writing this, the number of people who felt James should not go to prison was 37. Those who feel as I do, are 1083. Kinda makes ya wonder, doesn't it. Who are those 37 people? Are they pedophiles?
Reading the article, you'll see the Crown is seeking a six year sentence, and of course, the prosecution, much less than that. I can tell you with absolute certainty, though, that if any of my grandchildren ever suffer at the hands of a pedophile, I would gladly put a bullet in the perv's brain. After sticking a broom handle up his ass and leaving a few splinters behind, of course.
You have to hand it to those hockey players for coming clean about what was done to them as children. Hockey players are pretty macho guys. Going public must have taken a lot of courage. And this has been very, very public. Hopefully more good will come out of it than just the cleansing of their own souls. Here's to you, guys. You've done good and you've blazed a trail.
Anyway, go cast your vote at the CBC poll. As it stands now, 96.7% of us don't want no namby-pamby sentence handed out. Send him to jail where the inmates will give him some of his own medicine - good and hard.

IMO, a six year sentence is a ridiculous slap on the wrist for this serial child rapist. A just sentence would be a life (a REAL life) sentence, or at least several decades WITHOUT parole even possible.
And the defense attorney wants even less?!?!
Given this predator's record, in a maximum of six years, he'll be out and a menace to children again. Shame on the Canadian "justice" system!
I'd hate to be a lawyer having to defend such a scumbag.
The sentence hasn't yet been handed down, though. Hopefully it will be extremely severe. After all, he basically ruined the lives of dozens of young boys. It makes me sick.
And besides, in recent weeks we've had news of several decisions from various Canadian judges that were, IMHO, very appropriate.
I think the tide is turning. If the Cons can just learn to keep themselves out of the deep doo-doo they've been stepping in recently.
If you want to do a search (top, lefthand corner) of my blog using the word crime, you'll see some of them.
