I guess the Key Word here is "Lengthy criminal record". Why are these Criminals released on the streets, time after time?
People wonder why some citizens take the law into their own hands, delivering their own brand of country justice, when laws meant to protect the public seem to protect the criminal day after day. As for Singla's statement " I have no faith in the Canadian justice system and will never stick my neck out again" rings true for many Canadians fed up with "Canada's Nancy Laws".
Stories reported in the US media about uncaring desensitized New York citizens who "do not wish to get involved" when witnessing assaults of their own citizens or other criminal walking over the bloodied bodies of victims on the city streets as they go about their routine speaks volumes about our uncaring society and our laws.
Perhaps Canadians will wake up one day and demand a law and order government where justice will be lengthy jail time to realistically fit the crime. Until that time, Thugs, like these who terrorize this man and his family will have the run of the streets and our life, while politicians and police sit on their hands and do nothing.
In ending:
If the victim were a police officer who was brutally beaten, rest assured area swat teams would have been called out putting the this neighbourhood on immediate lockdown while police do door to door searches, resulting in this criminal being shot on sight! Canadian need to ask themselves why are our laws different for us and Mr Eugene Evers and Pawan Singla? Are we not human, why do we not have the same victim rights as a police officer? Some would say the Police view it differently.
My Final Thought
Programs such as Crime Stoppers and TIPs seem pretty useless when asking for the Public's Help when stories (where Criminals are protected versus the victim) such as these continually hit the Media.
It is time for change, and "We" are the only ones who can effect change ensuring those we vote for get with the program and get off their "Flabby Asses".
n late June, Singla says, he stepped outside to ask some of the flophouse visitors not to swear when his children were outside. Soon afterwards, he was dragged across the street and beaten till he couldn't stand. His undershirt was drenched in blood after rocks were thrown at his head.He says there were witnesses to his attack and that he provided police with pictures of his assailants, but officers told him there wasn't much to go on, he says.
"I guess the Canadian criminal system is meant more for criminals than to protect the general public," says Singla, who thinks police seemed more sympathetic to his assailants than to his plight.
"They [police] were talking more about fairness for the attackers . . . Not a single time was he talking about fairness to me," he says.

A true wake up call. This is a sad but true story. We no longer have a justice system anymore. The only justice that is being served is the "justice against victims". When a guilty party receives a mild court sentence being a third of what his or her sentence should really be, then that goes to show you which side the courts are on. Face facts. I would not be surprised if the courts are owned by the criminal underworld. To me, they are owned by Satan but that is another matter. The victims no longer have a voice. The criminals know this and smile about it as they spit over some rotting dead body they shot up with their hand guns. Unfortunately, people sooner or later may resort to vigilante behavior regardless of the time they will do for it. The courts have strict penalties against vigilantes. It is known that vigilantes get double the time for taking the law into their own hands. People are told by the courts to let the courts make and execute the law. What courts? What law? What justice? The courts aren't doing any of those things. The victims families no longer have a voice. Canadians are fed up and may soon no longer care about how much time they do in prison for killing some jerk who stabbed or shot their sons and daughters a dozen times. They would rather kill the guilty jerks themselves because they know that the courts would do nothing but give a simple "time out" to those jerks who would be out in say two or three years instead of fifteen. The justice system of today? The justice system of today is a walk down a yellow brick road to the wizard of Oz for the criminal. To the victim on the other hand the justice system is a walk through an emotional slaughterhouse with a slap in the face and a kick in the gut. Why do men and women resort to these senseless acts of such gratuitous violence? They do it because they know they can get away with it. They are proud of that. The justice system is nothing more but a canker sore that has no other useful benefit but to identify to us that it simply exists in our mouths.
