All,
Remember to be mindful of this site's tone & content guidelines.  We do not tolerate the proposals of extra-judicial killings, beatings, or other acts of criminal malice against any persons (regardless of how despicable those persons may be).  End it now.

And I have decided nothing, I just recommend that we stop talking about this monster.  Anyway, it's quite obvious that I am in the minority here, so instead I will avoid this thread.

I hear what you're saying TV.  I too will be glad when this thing fades into obscurity and he is just another number behind a door.  However, recall that prior to him being sentenced people were being somewhat gagged as to what they could get away with saying ie) "He is innocent until proven guilty..." so the opinions are only just being unleashed now. 
But yes, stating how much he sucks is somewhat redundant at this point. 

 

[OldSolduer]

I'm sick of this guy as well, plus all the coverage he's received.

 

[Thompson_JM]

...But mainly, I suppose, I am sick at heart that someone who purported to share my values and my ethos could have done these things - especially (and I do not mean in any way at all to suggests that each of his victims didn't suffer horribly) to a subordinate member of the CF.

+1

That's exactly how I feel...

I'm Glad this Monster has been sentenced, and with any luck this will start to fade away within a week or so.... 


*edited for spelling*

 

[Brutus]

I'm glad he was finally sentenced and this horrible story can start to fade.

As a Canadian, I'm sad and feel pity for the families of his victims as well as this monster's wife and kids.

As a soldier, I am very angry that an imposter such as this pretended to uphold our values and ethics, while at the same time destroying the lives of so many. I am disgusted that his acts and our organization can be mentioned in the same breath.

Good ridance to you and may your victims and your family find some peace.

"Enjoy Your Stay!"
"Check Your Six!"

[gaspasser]

I highly doubt he'll have to keep a check on his 6...he'll never be in general pop, like Bernardo...he'd be shanked in seconds~~~Mind you...it would save the taxpayers a few bucks each year.
I'm glad this guy is off the streets, out of our hair and we can continue on with life and serving the Canadian People~~

This makes ZERO sense to me:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/101021/national/colonel_murder_charge

The Crown didn't seek dangerous offender status, however, saying it was "superfluous" given his life sentence and would only prolong the suffering of families.

1.  Since we as a society continue to hurdle towards more and more political correctness and huggy/feely-everyone-is-special crap in this country, what is the landscape going to look like in 2035?  IMO that was a MASSIVE mistake.

2.  I'm not seeing how the DO status would have any negative affect on the families.  It only makes certain that he stays in jail for good.  Unless the whole system of getting the status is so flawed and useless that they can't even be bothered trying? 

 

[dogger1936]

One thing that wasnt thrown out there. Big BZ to the OPP officers who looked past the man and didnt let the big guy just pass on through that checkpoint for who he was. Excellent police work!

 

[OldSolduer]

Zipperhead - Crown attorneys don't see things the way we do, do they?

Dogger I agree....no one has mentioned what a good job the OPP did.

 

[zipperhead_cop]

Zipperhead - Crown attorneys don't see things the way we do, do they?

As we were told in our in service training last year by the chief crown: "The Crown's office and the police are not on the same team.  We do not work together.  It is not the Crown's job to make a case better than it is". 

And yes, the O-dots knocked it out of the ball park with some good old fashioned police work and a big heads up play at roadside.  Patrol for life, baby!!  ;D

"In fact, Massicotte saves her harshest words for the police, convinced that the cops could have done more to stop her attacker before he climbed through her window. Hours after her assault, an OPP investigator told her what is now a well-known fact. “He said: ‘Laurie, we have a confession to make,’ ” she recalls. “ ‘Apparently, 12 days ago this same situation happened to a girl just down the road from you. We’re really sorry we didn’t get it out to the public, but I can tell you right now we’re putting out a release and it will be on tomorrow’s news.’ ”
For Laurie Massicotte, the OPP “safety alert” came a day too late.":

From what I see, the Crowns are more interested in putting cops away.

Seen on CTVNewsnet the locals on Cosy Cove Lane in Tweed would like to see his house torn down to close their chapter.  Not sure how THAT would work.?
