Deport Humboldt Driver

[MAPearce]

I don't give a damned where he lives ..

He knows what he did . He feels it . I'm sure he'll never enjoy a full nights sleep forever .

He's being punished by the ghosts of those who died ... And that's a lot ....

It's more than enough for me

I said this before. He made an unimaginable mistake. He took full responsibility and he is in jail because of it.

If people in general were strong enough to accept responsibility for their actions as he did, admit guilt and spare the court system and the families of the dead the pain and struggles of a trial, the world would be a better place.

He is doing his time.

We allow drug dealers, street racers who kill and who are from the same part of the world after they have committed crimes or caused death and show no remorse and who often times become repeat offenders to stay in Canada but this guy we want to send back.

ETA; original post way back on page 1 but thought it was relevant.

Agreed ..

My definition of ”taking full responsibility for his actions” is cooperating with the police investigation, telling the truth from the get go. Lying until the police prove the truth is not taking full responsibility.

Pleading guilty when the police/Crown have a rock solid case does mean anything. In any event should we create an allowance for the application of sanctions for an accused who is sorry?

If we let this guy stay, we should just repeal this deportation sanction.

Well . He'll have a criminal record forever , Right ?

Who knows if he was or wasn't coerced into anything or not about admissions of guilt , but in the end , he took ownership of his actions .
I think he doesn't need to be deported at the expense of Canadians but rather rehabilitated to the point he can contribute to Canadians in the future .. That's the "taxpayer" in me ...

The human side of me thinks ..

The damage has been done .. It was horrific and preventable but not the first time , or last, that it's happened . This driver will never , EVER , be able to live this down and since he has hanged his head low and accepted responsibility it makes no sense to sent him "home" just because .

He's living in his own hell . Why does it natter where he lives ? I'm sure the remorse he feels will make him a better man and contributor to society than the junkies and child molesters we don't ship away ..

The discussion is about deportation of non-Canadians for committing a serious criminal offence. Ya there are lots of Canadians that do all sorts of crimes that has nothing to do with this.

My question is very simple,,, this person is guilty of Dangerous Driving Causing Death X 16 and Dangerous Driving Causing Injury X 13. Sorry, not sorry, he did it. If this incident doesn’t qualify for deportation what does ?

[the truth]

what makes people think he is even remorseful, safe bet that is the first thing his lawyer told him to say and show ,
