I can’t believe they will let this man out of jail. If he was in china they would of executed him. What about the family does the judge take in to concidration what they feel like.And can this judge tell the public that he will not kill someone else.why don,t they deport him back to china and see what they do to him.uuuuuuuuuuunbelievable

#44. Gnubi, the idea of incarcerate for life is ok with me if the life is ended in a couple of days.

Well, maybe McLean WAS a force of evil. Okay, bad taste.

I love Canadians in general. They are polite and gentle, and have produced some of the funniest people in the world. However, I would not want to rely on one in any kind of confrontation.

When I first heard about this, I just could…not…imagine any group of Americans filing out past a guy who was busy knifing a fellow passenger, and then cowering dutifully to have a head dropped on them from the bus. The guy would be so down on the ground in seconds. These passengers were cowardly. Yes, cowardly.

Now, the Canadian court system has shown similar cowardice in the face of evil. Apparently all one needs to do to escape criminal charges in Canada is to commit a horrific crime.

Shouldn’t the Vancouver pig farm murderer also be exonerated? Wasn’t Ted Bundy really “out of his mind” as well? What about Dahmer…oh yeah, he wasn’t responsible for the cannibalism either…this is the limit.

Americans are often described as aggressive and bellicose. Even if we are, it comes in handy sometimes when defending the innocent.

Sadly in Canada you can’t carry a concealed weapon. If I was on that bus and armed I would have shot this Li dead about 2 seconds after I saw him sawing through the poor kids neck.

Take away an innocent person’s ability to protect him/herself and you create a defenseless victim.

What it really boils down to is the judge doesn’t care nearly as much about the victim as he does about the perp. That seems to be really common in Canada and the US and probably won’t change until bleeding hearts start having their own loved ones fall at the hands of the crazies. Why not incarcerate for life? Society will be safer and the insane won’t even know the difference.

Laura: I can’t say I was a big fan of Trudeau, who tweaked the US like DeGaulle, but what is wrong with the Canadian justice system?

What happened with that head-removing nut sounds very much like what would happen here. Someone who is proved not to know right from wrong does not go to a regular prison; he goes into a psych ward till a shrink will put his career and our lives on the lines by saying he’s “normal” again. That can take years or decades. The only ways Canadian justice system appears to differ from here are no death penalty and the hate crime tribunals I recently heard about.
