I was in the car yesterday and listening to the news when I heard something that made my jaw drop. I'm bruised from where it hit the steering wheel! A region close to where I live will soon be releasing a convict. The police in the region are so concerned about his release that they are considering doing the unusual and publicizing his name and picture. Why are they so concerned? Well, this piece of filth has sixty (yep, I got the number right, 'cause the announcer repeated it twice), that's sixty convictions on his record, for things like rape and forcible confinement, among others. His own mother has lobbied for his permanent incarceration. He has stated in front of witnesses that his goal in life is to become Canada's most prolific killer, ever.
Who is the brain-dead idiot who will sign the final signature, the one needed to secure this animal's release? Who is the bleeding-heart liberal who would mumble on about this person's "rights"? This piece of garbage has no right to anything but a lethal injection, or maybe a firing squad. I can imagine the charges of insensitivity levelled against me when I make my next statement, but here goes. I sincerely hope that if this criminal strikes again, the judge or whoever it might be who signs this pariah back out into our midst, will be the father, or the husband, or some relation to the victim. How cruel of me! Yeah, yeah, but if he is freed and the pattern of recidivism in his life holds true, then someone will be plunged into mourning and it might as well be that official, as anyone else.
Bring back capital punishment, Canada. It is the only way to ensure that a killer will never strike again. Whenthey take it upon themselves to end another's life, they declare through their own actions, they give up all former rights they had to life. Don't waste the taxpayer's money on people convicted of murder or child abuse. The solicitor-general of Canada is satisfied with the veracity of the statement that punishment has little deterrent value on such offenders. Do the whole procedure of prosecution and trail the proper way, of course. Use every bit of modern technology at our disposal - the DNA testing, everything. Once a person is convicted though, let's draw the line right there. Cut the crap about any last meal. Food costs, and a person like that isn't worth a penny spent on one more morsel. Just usher them right out the backdoor of the courtroom and have the firing squad ready. Save the nonsense about the inhumanity of such punishment, please. Just give a minute instead to thinking about the moments of terror that ended their last victim's life, and then get our of the way while we pull the trigger.
