Look at the justice for Susan Heyes, who lost her business. For corrupt police who commit worse crimes, than the citizens they arrest. <br /><br />For the BC people, justice is only for those who can afford it.

I expect the fact that she prevailed in the leadership race and then won what should have been a slamdunk seat in a relative squeaker, she now figures that she can impose her will on any and all institutions.<br /><br />I've come to the conclusion that the only reason she awarded Harry Bloy a cabinet position was not the popular belief that he was the only MLA to support her, but that he was the only one she could relate to intellectually.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-20326843006745581542011-06-20T09:32:31.617-07:002011-06-20T09:32:31.617-07:00Grant, you could occasionally use the word "p...Grant, you could occasionally use the word "precedents" as in previous decisions (One decision creates a precedent, more than one are precedents - just my semi-monthly nit picking party, sorry)<br /><br /><i>".Maybe it`s only cops who walk away free, a corrupt court system that protects their own,"</i><br /><br />Well BC liaRs do pretty well by the (in)justice system as well. BC liaRs like Kash Heed, Jane Thornwaite, John Les, Gary Collins, non-responsive and/or perjuring witnesses in front of Annie Mack - when they are on the right team, and Gordo hisself, who could appropriately be hung for treason in earlier times. <br /><br />Well, Ken Dobell, the man of many hats at least had to write an essay for violating lobbying regulations while not even registered as a lobbyist. <br /><br />I fully expect more riots in the future, and once folks start rioting for the right reasons, for social justice like they are in Spain, Greece, Ireland, England and all around the Middle East, I may even join in the festivities. <br /><br />When it comes to hockey the violence should stay on the ice. But as Wisconsin and the ongoing attack on the middle class and working people continues, due to the greed of the richest sliver of society trying to get their hands on the twenty percent of the wealth that they don't already own, expect more people to take justice into their own disorganized hands and bring marshmallows and hot dogs to roast over cop cars!kootcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344208424209840730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-47806749726582080502011-06-19T23:13:43.386-07:002011-06-19T23:13:43.386-07:00Hopefully the Premier's tough talk will start ...Hopefully the Premier's tough talk will start the ball rolling in changing the law and pressure judges into making the punishment fit the crime. As several people here have already pointed out, our penal system needs a major overhaul. Maybe that is partly Christie Clark's fault. Regardless she is now in a position to do something about it, so I hope she helps make changes while her heart is in the right place. The sentences in many cases are laughable and there is no deterrent to these crimes. Still though, I'm tired of hearing about our poor, angry public that is just venting their frustrations. They obviously haven't been very far out of Canada if they think we have it rough. As crappy as things are here, its better than nearly anywhere else on earth. Thats a fact. We've become a bleeding heart society. There is no excuse for violence. We have become so engrossed in protecting human rights that the innocent end up paying for the criminals. We don't have to form a firing squad for every offence, but the soft approach to our justice system obviously is a huge failure. I want to live in a society that protects the innocent and punishes the guilty. As for the Vancouver riot, there is No excuse. Saying you are sorry after the fact does not make it better. Why should we have to pay for the criminals that caused millions of dollars in damage and are unbelievably lucky that no one was killed. They should have to pay for all of it. The black eye they gave Canada's tourism industry is probably priceless. Maybe we can't change the justice system overnight, but the provinces and Ottawa need to work together to give the system some teeth. Making an example out of these morons is a good start. Write your member of parliament (provincial and federal) and let your voice be heard. Lets do our part to make sure this never happens again.JimYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-69379228959229404592011-06-19T20:07:21.393-07:002011-06-19T20:07:21.393-07:00Is she sure that's what she wants to do?

Their inhibitions would be very much lowered. That is still no excuse though. They did what they did, by their own choices, to drink and/or do drugs.

They can't even use the education, they have paid through the nose for. The way things are going in this world, they may all be conscripted, into the armed forces. I'm far from young, and I am angry too. Angry about my children and my grandkids futures. <br /><br />I don't condone, rioting, looting and the destruction of property. However, there is anger seething, just beneath the surface of this province. I thought things would blow up, long before the rioting. Every where I go. I hear the anger expressed, in the peoples conversations.<br /><br />Christy's is famous for flapping her gums, before she even stops and thinks of the hole, she is going to fall into. She shut down courtrooms, there aren't enough Sheriffs to keep order. This was her own doing. Where are these hundreds of rioters, going to be tried?<br /><br />I think BC is in a deep abyss of debt. However, forcing the HST on her, "family's first" false agenda, will just dig a deeper hole of debt. Thousands of us, don't even have enough to live on. We can't support, the small business industry. Working parents also have to rely on the food banks. So do seniors and other low income citizens.<br /><br />BC has gained no jobs, as was said on TV. Grant also, did an excellent post on this subject. So the HST scam, that promised good paying jobs, and oodles of saved money for the citizens, is just another BC Liberal lie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-75536790620777855052011-06-19T11:41:13.615-07:002011-06-19T11:41:13.615-07:00RE: Our mayor and police chief trying to claim the...RE: Our mayor and police chief trying to claim the riot was instigated by anarchists...<br /><br />Anarchists don't wear Canucks jerseys and stand around posing for photo ops.

As BC Mary pointed out our youth have become disilusioned with their future and seem to be as mad as hell. Our Provincial and Federal Goverments have put Corporate Profit and Legal Systematic Corruption ahead of all social programs in this country but especially in BC. Under the BC Liberal Goverment any future for our youth (unless their parents are members of the elite or well to do)looks bleak in terms of employment and education (as the BC Liberals have now made it unaffordable for the vast majority of youth). Some of these young people seem to be turning to the only option that in their minds they have left (and it appears is happening in other countries),protest and violence. We need to engage all youth today by commiting more resouces towards them in the form of job training and education like we used to before the BC Liberals created the class system in BC.JonHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-38269168839919970512011-06-18T23:31:30.254-07:002011-06-18T23:31:30.254-07:00My thoughts have always been that these riots are ...My thoughts have always been that these riots are federally and provincially instigated.
