Understand the uproar to some extent over this ruling, but com'on people, this is nothing new! Maybe this is breaking news to some, but here it is! Our justice system has evolved where there is really no justice for crimes committed, only time-outs. Our justice system does not protect us from criminals as repeat offenders are rampant! My ideal justice system would see the "death penalty" for mass murderers, life sentences (20 years no parole) for drug traficking as that crime literaly kills Canada's "human resources" thus killing Canada's prosperity.There's so many areas where our justice system could do better, like making decisions that would bring closure for the victims families as they are never considerred when sentences are handed down. Unfortunately our justice sustem has evolved so "left" that it seeks to find out why a criminal did what he did and proceed to help him deal with his past and demons and then release them into society afyer serving 1/3 of their sentence. It's horific to think what this guy did to a 3 year old, but my guess whithout knowing the individual or his past that he will likely not learn anything from his bad behaviour and probably will re-offend in some way and then the justice system will look at giving him a slightly longer sentence as a future deterent. Quite pathetic this justice system when you really look at it.
