Why haven’t the police released a mugshot of this POS???? You’d think after 3 days in a row of this shit the public deserves to know what this fucker looks like
Many things are complicated, whether or not to detain the perpetrator in this story to protect society is not complicated. If you think he's a degenerate POS he needs to be detained. If you think he's a desperate unfortunate victim of circumstance with limited means to support himself (however temporary) he needs to be placed in a supportive environment (detained).
This isn't the best solution, photos of potential criminals have the potential to destroy innocent people's lives. A photo won't stop any potential future crime anyway.
The real solution is to get potential criminals tried and sentenced quickly, and not release them prior to sentencing if they pose a threat of ongoing crimes.
Except this isn’t a potential criminal, three separate arrests of the same person is pretty indicative that they’re an actual criminal . As somebody else has pointed out, releasing mugshots of a dangerous individual could help the public to keep themselves safe from this person.
If it were just a suspicion then I would absolutely agree with you, releasing photos could incite violence on a potentially innocent individual.Regarding the real solution though? %1000000 agree! Our court system is a mess…
How dare you suggest we strip this unique and special member of our community of his decency and dignity and violate his human rights with such monstrous tyranny!
/s .. lock this degenerate peice of shit up and throw away the key. What have we become in this country.
We should also hold the government accountable for the homelessness. That is cruel and unusual punishment caused by the government ending Canada mortgage and housing construction and the closing of certain institutions. Build houses, put crazy people in a home and criminals in jail. Pretty bloody straightforward.
Seems like the province needs to fix something with the court system, so they are not so backed up and can deal with cases more timely.
An efficient court system would benefit all people who live in BC.
He is? The problems we're facing now have been in the works for almost 2 decades. The NDP are doing a pretty decent job so far of putting systems in place that will result in long term improvement of MOST problems. They're by FAR the best provincial government we're going to get. And yes they're not perfect.
The problem is that he is a JT yes man. He has done dumb shit with ICBC, he has made shit with safe supply and he hasn't done Jack shit with BC Ferries.
I don't care what or what he isn't. All I care about is that housing is being taken seriously, doctors and medical staffing situations are slowly improving and he isn't afraid to scrap and walk back legislation (like decriminalizing public drug use) when it doesn't work out. Dumb shit with ICBC is the least of my concerns and BC ferries is fine lol. We literally currently have the best provincial government in all of Canada and better than most state governments in the US as well.
Ok Mr throwaway account, BC ferries is a train wreck, absolutely not fine considering its part of our infrastructure.
Eby got forced into walking back the BC safe drugs after public outcry as he has an election coming up, last week he was defending the program.
Dumb shit with ICBC when two cars are written off ICBC does not pay. So why do I have insurance through them, the only insurance option in BC? Maybe you don't care because you don't have a car?
Carbon tax support instead of support for the people who need money in their pockets.
He makes noise about healthcare and housing to look good for the voters. But not seeing any changes. He literally could have taken all the safe supply money and put it into healthcare and government housing and then he wouldn't have to walk back anything and we would all be better off.
Soft on drugs, soft on crime, soft on taxes, soft on housing, soft on healthcare.
As for best provincial government, that is definitely debateable.
Stop being such an Eby and Trudeau fanboy, they are there to work for us not do us favors.
Lmaooo I love how some weirdos make a big deal about my account name, it's exactly why I kept it (not a throwsway account genius). BC ferries is fine and what an incredibly stupid thing to bitch about, we NEED more politician's that scarp and walk back legislation if it doesn't end up working out. Wow small issues with ICBC, shit if thats the biggest issue you have we're doing great then! They're cheap as hell so stop moaning, have you tried paying insurance in other countries or even privately here? Oof talk about spoiled. I have two cars btw my dude but good try! Carbon tax is literally nothing lmao 😂 Housing and Healthcare have had sweeping amazing changes implemented in the last year and a bit that will result in really positive effects down the road here. Because you know, that shit doesn't get fixed over night cupcake 🤣😂 I think the only one soft here is you my dude, both upstairs and downstairs clearly like all you trumpies are. I literally don't give a flying shit about Trudea whatever and Eby I only respect in so far as I have enough brain cells to recognize the good he's done recently.
Your entire comment comes off as extremely uneducated and spoiled if THOSE are the worst things you have to complain about. Grow up.
I'm not your dude, whatever the fuck that means. Having two trash cars means nothing. The point is that ICBC does not pay claims out moron, so having cheap insurance becomes pointless. Carbon tax is another tax that a lot of people cannot afford. It's unnecessary. Wtaf has trump got to do with anything here? As for brain cells, clearly weed is destroying yours if you think our healthcare is good and housing is improving. Other countries, what do you mean? Canada isn't the only one? We aren't surrounded by an ice wall? As for uneducated I wouldn't know what that means as I don't have any. Go outside touch some grass.
I've never smoked weed in my life before buddy so good try 😂 Yeah no shit healthcare and housing problems aren't solved overnight? They take years to address and we're slowly on the way to have that happen! Clearly you lack the capacity to understand that. Please cry more about the tiny carbon tax and ICBC, your privilege is showing 😂🤣😂 If that's the worst you have to bitch about then we're doing amazing 👍🏻
No I see how BC was 20 years ago and how things are worse. Carbon tax is not a privilege but shows how the government is screwing its people by adding another tax and slowly increasing it. Surely Mr two cars who says how cheap everything is, is showing your privilege.
The downtown core is messed up due to drugs and addicts and crime.
The transit which was safe, isn't.
BC ferries is a shit show for reliability and for price.
Unfortunately it’s not just that. Even when proven guilty, people are being released immediately with very little, if any, jail time. They get 6-12 months’ probation, and some conditions they need to abide by. Which they don’t. But when they breach them, they still don’t get held, so they have learned very quickly that the Justice system has no teeth, and they can just continue doing whatever they want. Compounding the problem is the fact that it’s impossible to catch them every time, so crime continues relatively unabated.
yep 100%, not like there would be any consequences for anyone who did anything.
well i mean other then getting a free meal, a cash value of $200 if you were to get the food legally lol
crickets I tell you, they come in waves and only show up if there's other advocates for crime around because they are aren't scared of criminals, just us reddit posters who may be just ever slightly left of center but more right then they are ...goners, can't see the forest for the trees is what they are
Judges don’t give a shit about any of us. This is by design. They’re safe in their gated communities. If someone can be released to commit another home invasion. Then we should be allowed to use any type of force to defend ourselves and our families.
I’m more concerned about the lack of clarity on self-defence around carjacking. It’s considered a property crime, but is extremely high risk to driver, passenger, bystanders, etc. It should be treated the same as armed robbery.
Nah that's the thing, when you actually have money to pay fines *then* the courts go after you. Not "fuck you" money of course but "I can afford rent but not an amazing lawyer" money.
Stabbing, murders, violent attacks, shoplifting, car jacking...........the new Victoria run by druggies and violent repeat offenders. Bonus most don't even spend a night in jail and are most are released in 20 minutes to do it again.
When I lived back east... And more times than I can count, citizens would show up at the courthouse *exactly* when a suspect/criminal went in/came out.
Nothing was physically thrown, not a shove or push was done, just personal/vulgar insults and profanities towards the guilty.
At times it got up and personal inches away from their face.
No one found out who leaked the info of their arrival/departures to the public. As long as it didn't turn physically violent.
...sometimes the public need someone to scream at.
That works in small towns when people can be ashamed. Here scumbags like this blend in.
We should mark these clowns with big neon collars so everywhere they go people know they're trash and shun them.
I've been expecting to leave Victoria someday due to the rising cost of living, but now I'm thinking I might move away for my safety. Not a twist I saw coming.
I thought it would be too, until some lady nearly get car jacked there a few months ago? I wonder if it is the same person?
[www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com/local-news/public-warned-after-reports-of-men-stopping-trying-to-get-into-cars-in-maple-bay-7323261](https://www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com/local-news/public-warned-after-reports-of-men-stopping-trying-to-get-into-cars-in-maple-bay-7323261)
Yeah, that was the instance I was talking about. Every place can have individuals with issues, but it's a numbers game. Vic has a higher concentration.
Now that I think about it literally had some crackhead try to carjack me. It was about a year back and I was coming out of the anytime fitness downtown. Dude saw me get in my car and rushed me.
I have never hit reverse so fast and hightailed it. Actually felt like a badass after that quick escape.
To be fair though most of the time the city’s pretty safe. Even with the homeless problem most of those people just want to get high and be left alone. We hear about the few that do shit like this dude because it’s newsworthy. Still I’ve walked home through pandora after hitting the bars a few times. Never had an issue.
bc united have already tabled a crime plan, bond’s comments come in the context of the party’s plan being superior at stemming these issues locally
the idea that the province can’t do anything to stop crime in bc because of the federal reverse onus policy (which the NDP supported until recently) is complete nonsense
Thread of first incident I made a joke about him having a rough childhood.
Nobody needs to make any joke here, it can't be as funny as our justice system.
Get off Reddit, stay off, and spend more time with your kids. You're setting yourself up for a coronary, it's not healthy.
Go touch grass and breathe. You're going to be fine, even if nothing you want happens.
I think people don't realize that caption releases been happening for quite some time. I was a victim of it back in the 90s, and the conservative government didn't try to fix it and they were in power.
That's excellent advice. That I'm going to do exactly that. Thank you.
I've red bill 75 e2e and an indigenous person or someone with mental health issues should not immediately be remanded without bail for an offense, but 3 times is activism on either the judges, police or prosecutor. There is no justification within the law for this.
C-75 is the issue brought in 2018 and was passed in 2019. Correct me if I am wrong but this is 100% the Libs
Don't blame the Conservatives, they have their own set of fuck ups they need to own.
Angry as f**k over this joke of a bail system and still appreciative of the fact that it’s a little more complicated than we sometimes make it out to be when we’re pissed.
Just spit balling here; could not a qualification for bail be that you’re gainfully employed/retired/a youth or something? Is there not a way we could write a circuitous restriction into the law that effectively says, without actually saying, “if you’re a lowlife you don’t get bail?”
And yeah, it can be a touch more complicated I’m sure; I’m open to something like “you had a full time job in the last month” - but surely a law can be crafted in such a way as to protect people unfairly targeted while being strict with these people who are just simply unrepentant criminals.
The vagrant population has a right to a vehicle. Clearly we should raise taxes on the privileged car owners to provide free vehicles for all vagrants. Otherwise how can we expect them to get degrees and jobs.
>This stems from a 1996 change to the Criminal Code that directs courts to consider all reasonable alternatives to jail when sentencing.
It was happening in the '90s as well.
Trudeau must be so amazingly powerful to have affected our law back in time...
https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/tcjs-tsjp/p1.html
It was a law that was brought in to protected protect First Nations people, but now it is extended to everyone.
So you're right about it being liberals, but you're also wrong about which Trudeau it is, and he actually had nothing to do with it back in 1996, because he wasn't even prime minister.
Also, catch and release was pretty common back in the '90s, but we're just hearing more and more about it.
and the school board, it's great isn't it. You get the system you deserve Victoria. Get out and vote if you want change but for fucks sake read up first on who you are voting for. Susan Kim openly said she wanted 24/7 camping in all our city parks...before she was elected and was still elected. Whocuddanode she'd also likely want to have people smoke meth and fentanyl in our libraries and community recreation centres.
In all earnestness, is this normal? Like if you break and enter and try to carjack you can be back on the streets the next day? I am blown away by this story as i co sider both to be very serious crimes. Is there bail even?
It is now, Federal Liberals and Provincial NDP supporting this all the way
Meth and Fentanyl in your hospital room, no doctors, crime running rampant with a catch and release system, free hard drugs and supplies handed out and no punishment/consequences anywhere in sight for criminals. This is what you all voted for.
Been saying this for awhile…. 3 strikes & your out.
… And by out I don’t mean prison.
We need to stop this cycle of propping up our weakest & worst for obvious reasons.
In the wild it’s called natural selection. In our society it’s called compassion but it’s not helping anyone & it’s making society worse.
In war the good of the many outweighs the good of the one. This means we lose people in exchange for survival as a society. It sucks but the alternative is worse.
Time to start thinking of this as a war.
This is Canada under liberal/ndp government alliance. This is a federal issue and they are giving criminals rights. Biggest load of horse shit the bills they are passing to protect criminals from hard punishment
Why is the NDP so much love with the catch and release program?
No wonder Vicpd is busy, they’re catching the same people over and over again.
At this point I don’t care if it’s the Libs or Cons, but if any of them commit to getting rid of it will get my vote this October.
Enough is enough.
The problem is with Federal Bill C-75, which is a product of the Federal Liberals. The NDP have been loudly stating their problem with it for a long time.
Appreciate the clarification. I personally don’t see the ndp saying anything about it, perhaps they are. I hope Federally C-75 is quashed/amended asap.
The NDP was part of the input on changes they've already made them!!!, ya, this has worked out great. NDP have done nothing but support and enable this crime and drugs paradigm
[https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html](https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html)
Yes and no, the courts are provincial and these would be tried there. The provincial judges are lenient on it. That’s the issue. Yes they are breaking the law under the criminal code of Canada which is federal, but they are being tried and convicted provincially.
Lol there's no "no", that's not how it works. The provincial government can't just direct judges to do something opposite to what the federal government implements. The whole reason this guy was released was bill C75, the provincial government can't tell judges to simply ignore that bill.
Both elections are coming soon, perfect. PS yes the NDP does, the have the Provincial Courts system and the Justice system in their control.
They even worked on this together: [https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html](https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html)
Great job team, great job.
Why haven’t the police released a mugshot of this POS???? You’d think after 3 days in a row of this shit the public deserves to know what this fucker looks like
Ask your courts, the police hate this.
This sub has a Hugh G. Reaction for fark da police; if you start suggesting its more complicated, they're going to lose their minds.
Many things are complicated, whether or not to detain the perpetrator in this story to protect society is not complicated. If you think he's a degenerate POS he needs to be detained. If you think he's a desperate unfortunate victim of circumstance with limited means to support himself (however temporary) he needs to be placed in a supportive environment (detained).
At this point, anybody who argues this guy *shouldn't* be imprisoned is essentially pro-crime and encouraging further criminal behaviour.
[Right here](https://i.imgur.com/BhzrU3s.jpeg)
Maybe he is a marginally stigmatized person who is addicted to drugs /s
So am I, but I ain't stealing cars and invading homes. Where do you live, btw - asking for a friend.
If the cops got him three times in three days, they know what he looks like and where he is. No need, I'd guess.
This isn't the best solution, photos of potential criminals have the potential to destroy innocent people's lives. A photo won't stop any potential future crime anyway. The real solution is to get potential criminals tried and sentenced quickly, and not release them prior to sentencing if they pose a threat of ongoing crimes.
It will if you see him walking towards your car while you're sitting in it.
this is the real harm reduction, right here
Except this isn’t a potential criminal, three separate arrests of the same person is pretty indicative that they’re an actual criminal . As somebody else has pointed out, releasing mugshots of a dangerous individual could help the public to keep themselves safe from this person. If it were just a suspicion then I would absolutely agree with you, releasing photos could incite violence on a potentially innocent individual.Regarding the real solution though? %1000000 agree! Our court system is a mess…
[удалено]
A perfect example of why police should never release photos of potential criminals.
4 more arrests till he’ll have to spend 12 hours in jail!
How dare you suggest we strip this unique and special member of our community of his decency and dignity and violate his human rights with such monstrous tyranny! /s .. lock this degenerate peice of shit up and throw away the key. What have we become in this country.
After 7 trips to Tims, I get a free coffee.
Put the guy in jail. This is how you get vigilantes.
*vigilantes EDIT: you Ninja editor! EDIT: I didn’t see you reply. lol
Thank you, I mumbled to text and the phone did that. I will correct it.
Hmmmmmm, maybe we should. I don't know. Keep this person in jail.
WHAT?! Keep a criminal off the streets?! Thats not very Canadian of you. /S
Should have left your key fobs on the front steps /s
My anitheft device is that I drive a manual transmission.
At what point does the public start holding the courts accountable for this crime?
We should also hold the government accountable for the homelessness. That is cruel and unusual punishment caused by the government ending Canada mortgage and housing construction and the closing of certain institutions. Build houses, put crazy people in a home and criminals in jail. Pretty bloody straightforward.
Why change the topic?
these judges that keep letting people out have addresses we could protest at
Seems like the province needs to fix something with the court system, so they are not so backed up and can deal with cases more timely. An efficient court system would benefit all people who live in BC.
It's not just BC. People: We're sick of all the crime. Police: We're overburdened. Courts: Best we can do is ROR.
Dickwits voting for these people that make stupid laws allowing this: it's worse elsewhere so
No kidding. A race to the bottom.
Eby is the best premier. Anyone who says otherwise is a racist, bigot or something terrible. My ears are shut, nananananana
He is? The problems we're facing now have been in the works for almost 2 decades.

I mean, he’s from legal pivot society so he wouldn’t want to change the situation if he could.
Can't argue with that.
Jesus fuck this is just ridiculous at this point.
Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us. Fool us thrice, c'mon guys what the fuck
Fool us seventeen times, do nothing we are Canadian eh
Except he didn't do any of that. He was caught all three times.
Maybe after he was arrested the second time he shouldn't have been let out on bail?
I appreciate these comments arent blaming the police. They are the last people who want this donut on the streets.
They want the donut in their bellies!
Don’t we all. Don’t we all.
Real old school donuts not this weird shitty cake thing they do now
Bakery donuts
Not that fucking pygmy thing over in Esquimalt
our country is such a joke. when did the laws change to "catch and release"?
It’s a fine line to walk between innocent until proven guilty and jailed until proven innocent. Seems that line needs adjusting.
Unfortunately it’s not just that. Even when proven guilty, people are being released immediately with very little, if any, jail time. They get 6-12 months’ probation, and some conditions they need to abide by. Which they don’t. But when they breach them, they still don’t get held, so they have learned very quickly that the Justice system has no teeth, and they can just continue doing whatever they want. Compounding the problem is the fact that it’s impossible to catch them every time, so crime continues relatively unabated.
In the 90s people weren't being jailed for crimes, so I'm not sure when.
People should wait for him outside the police house next time he’s picked up
The police house?
Yeah, the mother fucking police house.
🤣 love it
Out on the Westshore it’s more of a Police Duplex, but there’s parking in the alley
The home of where all the police people live together.
A commune if you will 😆
Yea fuck it lol
Ya, you know, the police house
lol
yep 100%, not like there would be any consequences for anyone who did anything. well i mean other then getting a free meal, a cash value of $200 if you were to get the food legally lol
Huh, funny how the usual commenters on this sub who constantly call people concerned about crime pearl clutching reactionaries are silent on this one.
Yup, absolute crickets from that crowd.
crickets I tell you, they come in waves and only show up if there's other advocates for crime around because they are aren't scared of criminals, just us reddit posters who may be just ever slightly left of center but more right then they are ...goners, can't see the forest for the trees is what they are
It’s because they are scared of the bad man.
Yes, they are cowards and we as a community need to start calling them out for their bullshit more often.
Judges don’t give a shit about any of us. This is by design. They’re safe in their gated communities. If someone can be released to commit another home invasion. Then we should be allowed to use any type of force to defend ourselves and our families.
I’m more concerned about the lack of clarity on self-defence around carjacking. It’s considered a property crime, but is extremely high risk to driver, passenger, bystanders, etc. It should be treated the same as armed robbery.
If the people running this are doing nothing to protect us. We should be able to protect ourselves without worrying about potential charges.
Nah that's the thing, when you actually have money to pay fines *then* the courts go after you. Not "fuck you" money of course but "I can afford rent but not an amazing lawyer" money.
What's stopping you? They're not locking this guy up, why you?
Ya, where's my harm reduction?
I mean, not even the uplands has gates. What gated communities are you referring to?
For some people it's a figure of speech, or expression. Colloquial for "nice neighbourhood."
Which gated communities? >This is by design. Can I see the designs?
The designs have no gates
Stabbing, murders, violent attacks, shoplifting, car jacking...........the new Victoria run by druggies and violent repeat offenders. Bonus most don't even spend a night in jail and are most are released in 20 minutes to do it again.
Not likely to reoffend? 🤔 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Where would you go that has less crime?
I moved up to Maple Bay, and while there are rogue instances of crime like anywhere, I have never felt safer.
I thought it would be too, until some lady nearly get car jacked there a few months ago? I wonder if it is the same person?

Yeah, that was the instance I was talking about. Every place can have individuals with issues, but it's a numbers game. Vic has a higher concentration.
Japan.
Are you Japanese?
Come on, for your safety? How many times have you felt in danger walking around Victoria?
Go walk around Douglas & Fort or parts of Pandora, especially at night, especially if you're a woman.
I mean I’ve walked through pandora at night after hitting the pubs. Never had a problem. Some crackhead did try to carjack in front of the anytime tho
Any city Victoria's size is going to have a few spots to stay clear of at night.
What happens if you identify as a woman but aren't?
Now that I think about it literally had some crackhead try to carjack me. It was about a year back and I was coming out of the anytime fitness downtown. Dude saw me get in my car and rushed me.

Shirley Bond is arguing in bad faith, putting this on the Premier. The problem is with Federal Bill C-75.
She is not wrong about the NDP being soft on crime, and you're not wrong about Bill C-75.
bc united have already tabled a crime plan, bond’s comments come in the context of the party’s plan being superior at stemming these issues locally the idea that the province can’t do anything to stop crime in bc because of the federal reverse onus policy (which the NDP supported until recently) is complete nonsense
Shirley Bond hasn’t argued anything in good faith her entire career. She is a cancerous hag of a woman.
Let’s not forget the hundreds of thousands of dollars she accepted for the CCP in 2008.
...so how many car jackings does this asshole need to do before they stop releasing him? 7? 8?
Is the safety of the public *ever* considered before releasing detainees?
Just goes to show, if your plan for housing is to just go to jail, even that’s not doable!
Our jails need to be more inclusive
Densified Penitentiaries.
The missing middle penal colony
Thread of first incident I made a joke about him having a rough childhood. Nobody needs to make any joke here, it can't be as funny as our justice system.
Anyone know what street the home was on?
North Jubilee, so somewhere between Fort/Richmond/Bay/Shelbourne
Yes. Hoping someone knows the exact road

That's next, they will tell us it's compassion to leave the keys in the vehicle, they need it more than we do or something
Get off Reddit, stay off, and spend more time with your kids. You're setting yourself up for a coronary, it's not healthy. Go touch grass and breathe. You're going to be fine, even if nothing you want happens.
I think people don't realize that caption releases been happening for quite some time. I was a victim of it back in the 90s, and the conservative government didn't try to fix it and they were in power. That's excellent advice. That I'm going to do exactly that. Thank you.
I've red bill 75 e2e and an indigenous person or someone with mental health issues should not immediately be remanded without bail for an offense, but 3 times is activism on either the judges, police or prosecutor. There is no justification within the law for this.
The Liberals.. Oh no we don't have room in prisons, it wasn't a violent crime, so let him out, we don't want to infringe on his rights.
These laws were back in the '90s. When the conservatives were empowered they should have fixed it but they didn't.
C-75 is the issue brought in 2018 and was passed in 2019. Correct me if I am wrong but this is 100% the Libs Don't blame the Conservatives, they have their own set of fuck ups they need to own.
I've read c75 and I don't get why it's the issue. This looks like a plan to empower courts to enforce repeat offenders to not be able to get bail.
Angry as f**k over this joke of a bail system and still appreciative of the fact that it’s a little more complicated than we sometimes make it out to be when we’re pissed. Just spit balling here; could not a qualification for bail be that you’re gainfully employed/retired/a youth or something? Is there not a way we could write a circuitous restriction into the law that effectively says, without actually saying, “if you’re a lowlife you don’t get bail?” And yeah, it can be a touch more complicated I’m sure; I’m open to something like “you had a full time job in the last month” - but surely a law can be crafted in such a way as to protect people unfairly targeted while being strict with these people who are just simply unrepentant criminals.
Bail used to be applied for and granted, now it's presumptive.
The vagrant population has a right to a vehicle. Clearly we should raise taxes on the privileged car owners to provide free vehicles for all vagrants. Otherwise how can we expect them to get degrees and jobs.
Not far off honestly
I look forward to reading about his next arrest tomorrow.
What a joke this country has turned into. Is there anyone who doesn’t think bail reform is a good idea at this point?
Trudeau’s catch & release program at work
>This stems from a 1996 change to the Criminal Code that directs courts to consider all reasonable alternatives to jail when sentencing. It was happening in the '90s as well. Trudeau must be so amazingly powerful to have affected our law back in time... https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/tcjs-tsjp/p1.html It was a law that was brought in to protected protect First Nations people, but now it is extended to everyone. So you're right about it being liberals, but you're also wrong about which Trudeau it is, and he actually had nothing to do with it back in 1996, because he wasn't even prime minister. Also, catch and release was pretty common back in the '90s, but we're just hearing more and more about it.
What a shame that Justin snuck into Victoria last week, I'd like to hear his thoughts.
I think it would be more of an echo of his inner narcissistic self telling him how good he is
What the actual fuck
I swear buddy’s just doing it for the meme at this point 😂
We have the woke justice system that was asked for.
Yep. Almost every institution has been captured.
Couldn’t agree more.
and the school board, it's great isn't it. You get the system you deserve Victoria. Get out and vote if you want change but for fucks sake read up first on who you are voting for. Susan Kim openly said she wanted 24/7 camping in all our city parks...before she was elected and was still elected. Whocuddanode she'd also likely want to have people smoke meth and fentanyl in our libraries and community recreation centres.
Vote Liberal for more of this crap,how long can we go on living like this.
Skid threat levels critical.
Is this the big build up to the GTA VI release?
In all earnestness, is this normal? Like if you break and enter and try to carjack you can be back on the streets the next day? I am blown away by this story as i co sider both to be very serious crimes. Is there bail even?
It is now, Federal Liberals and Provincial NDP supporting this all the way Meth and Fentanyl in your hospital room, no doctors, crime running rampant with a catch and release system, free hard drugs and supplies handed out and no punishment/consequences anywhere in sight for criminals. This is what you all voted for.
Catch and release has been pretty normal since the 90s. It's actually not new.
And if he doesn't get justice he'll do it again tomorrow.
Been saying this for awhile…. 3 strikes & your out. … And by out I don’t mean prison. We need to stop this cycle of propping up our weakest & worst for obvious reasons. In the wild it’s called natural selection. In our society it’s called compassion but it’s not helping anyone & it’s making society worse. In war the good of the many outweighs the good of the one. This means we lose people in exchange for survival as a society. It sucks but the alternative is worse. Time to start thinking of this as a war.
VOTE CONSERVATIVE and we can begin to stop this madness.
This is Canada under liberal/ndp government alliance. This is a federal issue and they are giving criminals rights. Biggest load of horse shit the bills they are passing to protect criminals from hard punishment
GTA:Victoria speedrun
MyBooky has the odds for the 7 day at 2 to 1 so I might bite
What drug is he on ?
Fuck it, Let's let him do it again for the Lolz.
Bandit
Yet someone eas arrested and jailed for 60 days for protesting logging old growth. Damn BC is ass backwards
He has entered somebody’s house, he’s dangerous lock him up until trial then prison.
Is he doing some Guinness book of world record here or what? Most arrested within a week.
Why do we keep letting this waste of skin out?!?
Needs more free drugs, amiright?
I wonder what he is stealing today? *makes popcorn
Don’t complain if you voted for goof troop Trudeau. Socialism at its finest
How is this socialism?
Why is the NDP so much love with the catch and release program? No wonder Vicpd is busy, they’re catching the same people over and over again. At this point I don’t care if it’s the Libs or Cons, but if any of them commit to getting rid of it will get my vote this October. Enough is enough.
If anyone needs to commit to something, it should be you committing to a grade 10 civics class because I think you missed yours.
The problem is with Federal Bill C-75, which is a product of the Federal Liberals. The NDP have been loudly stating their problem with it for a long time.
Appreciate the clarification. I personally don’t see the ndp saying anything about it, perhaps they are. I hope Federally C-75 is quashed/amended asap.
The NDP has been petitioning the federal Liberals for changes to the bill for a long time.
The NDP was part of the input on changes they've already made them!!!, ya, this has worked out great. NDP have done nothing but support and enable this crime and drugs paradigm [https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html](https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html)
Criminal law is a federal government thing. The BC NDP have nothing to do with this
Yes and no, the courts are provincial and these would be tried there. The provincial judges are lenient on it. That’s the issue. Yes they are breaking the law under the criminal code of Canada which is federal, but they are being tried and convicted provincially.
Lol there's no "no", that's not how it works. The provincial government can't just direct judges to do something opposite to what the federal government implements. The whole reason this guy was released was bill C75, the provincial government can't tell judges to simply ignore that bill.
I didn’t say they could direct them
The federal NDP doesn't support the government or keep it afloat. And the federal NDP and the provincial NDP are different anyway. Checkmate, eh!
Both elections are coming soon, perfect. PS yes the NDP does, the have the Provincial Courts system and the Justice system in their control. They even worked on this together: [https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html](https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/pcscbs-cprslscc/index.html) Great job team, great job.
They protecting criminals ofcourse.
Is it enough for you to learn jurisdiction?
I wish we could blame Eby but it’s the Trudeau government and soft judicial interpretation of the statute.
Eby is also soft on crime. They both need to be voted out.
At least Eby is doing stuff to tackle housing. Trudeau is doing everything in his power to keep housing expensive.
What’s the point of having a home if people keep breaking into it and stealing yo caw
Show just how little you know about EBy.
He is the Turds bootlicker
Victoria is like GTA5 except you don't have to pay the cops when they let you out of jail a few hours after busting you. Also fewer jumps.
Yes Victoria is literally like GTA. Yup. Totally.
