What a difference a day makes

It's time to scrap the Youth Criminal "inJustice Act".

-- BRAMPTON -- One of four alleged gang members who are charged with killing Brampton teen Akila Bandhanage was celebrating his 18th birthday on the day of the murder.

Omari White, who turned 18 on Sept. 28 and lost the protection of the Youth Criminal Justice Act by a matter of hours, appeared briefly in court yesterday but was remanded in custody until another appearance Thursday.

Police said all four suspects are known to them and allege they are members of a local Bloods crew.
Looks like we just got this animal by the hair on his chinny-chin-chin. One for the good guys.

Let's face it, though... the only way society can put the brakes on all this savagery... is to exact a harsh penalty.

And anybody, regardless of their age... who doesn't appreciate that savagely murdering an innocent bystander is wrong... should be locked up for the rest of their life.

That isn't going to happen under a Liberal government.

Boy you've got that right. The entire concept of youth justice is flawed because it's more interested in youth than justice. If you do the crime, you should do the time, no matter what age you are.

Wasn't there legislation passed that made it an additional offence to conduct criminal activities as a member of a criminal gang, which the Bloods are Crips most certainly are?

Wouldn't matter anyway, I suppose, as the system is so anxious to keep the prison population at a minimum, these fine examples of Canadian youth will each do less than five years, before parole.

Liberal judges know that criminals are far more interesting than victims, and they have better lawyers too - lots of'em. They'll keep their friends employed.
