I guess the Key Word here is "Lengthy criminal record". Why are they 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 it was an police officer who was the victim, rest assured swat teams would have been called out and these criminals would be doing hard time! Why are our laws different for Mr Eugene Evers and Pawan Singla, are they not human,having the same rights as a police officer?
The Police view it differently apparently.
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.
