A New Drive-Thru
So the jury has returned its verdict, finding Pickton guilty on all six murder charges brought against him in this trial. Without any thought of the others still hanging over his head, let's just look at this scenario, right now. The judge will declare the sentence, and it might be life in prison. The only problem is, that "life" is just as likely to mean 10 years served and then eligibility for parole. What a travesty of justice that will be. None of his victims are ever going to have a second chance. Why should he? Dear God, why should he?
Why don't we try something new here and start a drive-through prison facility, a la Hilton et al? In the style of their time served, sometimes being countable in minutes only, why not just let the guy drive by every once in a while and check in with the authorities. You can picture it, can't you? Big burly guard on the inside. leans out the window and demands in his big, tough voice, "You being a good boy, Pickton?" If the answer is affirmative, maybe the guard can make his next question, "Would you like a coffee?"
Justice, indeed.
