No "or", most definitely. And this is one of those cases that makes it truly regrettable that Canada does not have the death penalty.

[occasional thoughts]

There is no case that makes Canada's incredibly progressive stance on capital punishment a mistake. Move to Arizona or Alabama if you want to descend to that level.

100% correct

Same with that guy that killed the Johnson and Bentley families.

Could not disagree more strongly. There most definitely are cases where the death penalty is 100% warranted.

Too bad our country doesn't work that way but sociopath serial killers who have tortured and murdered who are released from prison should lose the right and privilege to have children for the protection of those children alone. Sociopath serial killers cannot be fixed and are a walking time bomb.

Or alternatively, these sociopath serial killers can be released into the custody and homes of those concerned with being "incredibly progressive". I also think these same "incredibly progressive" types should all be nominated for a "sponsor a Guantanamo inmate" program too.

Karla Homolka cunning in her manipulations: DiManno

There are some 40,000 individuals on Canada’s sex offender registry.

Karla Homolka isn’t among them.

The federal registry was created in 2004 and strengthened seven years later so that all sex offenders would be placed in the data bank immediately, not only when the Crown requested it and a judge made the order.

But Homolka committed her crimes in the early ’90s and the registry isn’t retroactive.

In any event, the schoolgirl killer was never convicted of a sex crime. She pleaded out — that notorious “deal with the devil” — to manslaughter in the slaying of 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy and 15-year-old Kristen French, and acknowledged her role in the drug-rape of younger sister Tammy, who choked to death during the assault.

Homolka received a 12-year negotiated sentence. No extra prison time was added for Tammy when sex videos subsequently surfaced of Homolka violating her unconscious sibling. No extra prison time was added for Homolka’s participation in the drug-rape of another teenager, Jane Doe, an assault she didn’t originally disclose.

Collectively, these were the worst sex crimes — at least the most shocking, the most incensing — in Canadian history.

Homolka is a serial sex killer, cloaked inside the legal distinction of manslaughter.

Yet we can’t touch her, can’t know when she moves into our neighbourhood, can’t take any steps to protect children from a woman who has always traded on her intensely sexualized compulsions — when she was destroying lives with Bernardo, when she was out on bail and trolling bars, and when she was behind bars.

The over-arcing motif of Homolka’s life has been sexual deviancy. It’s what made her a willing accomplice to Bernardo, her procuring of victims and flat disaffectedness to their suffering. Even with her husband out of the picture, she preyed. And, abetted by lawyers, she connived for her sweetheart deal.

Homolka was always and manifestly the smarter of the two monsters. Book-smart and intuitively smart. Her nuanced performance as main Crown witness against Bernardo — 17 days on the stand — demonstrated how adeptly she could dodge and rebuff the volleys of the best criminal legalists in the business. Bernardo’s lawyers got nowhere with her. She was like an anvil, blunting every strike.

Whether psychopath or sociopath, Homolka is the red warning strobe that keeps on flashing.

Isn't it just wonderful that Canada is so "incredibly progressive"? Good grief.

[dontrump]

There is no case that makes Canada's incredibly progressive stance on capital punishment a mistake. Move to Arizona or Alabama if you want to descend to that level.

Your opinion not mine or others Several cases that deserved the death penalty come to mind Clifford Olson Paul bernardo
and without any doubt Pickton to name but a few, also T Vader if found guilty

[Fancy]

Unfortunately, the death penalty would be sought after for others that may not deserve it. I'm not against it but I wouldn't want to make a mistake that can't be rectified.

I can guarantee you those figures are incorrect and the real numbers are much much higher especially NK and

And we have the makings of vomit-inducing over-the-top sanctimony to justify idiotic backward beliefs. Talk about jumping to the dumbest most disrespectful and stupid conclusion just because some posters disagree with your "incredibly progressive" failed opinions. Tell me this truthfully (and if you say yes you are lying): Would you want this monster living on the same street as your teenage daughters? Would you stand by idly in the name of your backward beliefs while she continued to manipulate and rape children? What would it take for you to get a clue? I am thinking at this point, a whole lot.

[occasional thoughts]

It is quite obvious from your many ignorant posts that you are an abusive sort yourself. I wouldn't want my daughter living on the same street as you. I've not particularly offered a comment on Ms. Homolka. My last post was on the company that nations that thrive on capital punishment enjoy.
