Gangland Slaying East Vancouver: Who Cares?

Opinion

You know, we have so many shooting, some gang related some not, but most always the victim is known to Police. Just on that alone, myself and I am sure  most  Vancouverittes and lower mainlanders are just  "Numb" to all this, especially since a convicted brutal murder  of  2  people was released from prison  after serving only  8 years in prison, that works out to  4 years for each Human life. 

This crime was especially brutal in that he beat the victims with heavy fire extinguishers, and as a "Coup de Grace" raised a 30 pound TV set high over his head and crushed the victims skull beyond recognition.   Oh, and  get this, just days after being released from serving a token 8-year Prison,  he and his criminal buddies  beat the crap out of  a innocent man and woman walking down the street minding their own business and this guy beat them so brutally  and so severely, they were  lucky to survive.  Bet these victims and their families feel real assured of our Justice system at work, especially our lefty parole board members.

So do I care if criminals blow each others brain out?  Hell no, because saving Taxpayers to expense of a long and drawn out trial and endless appeals and a 4 year per human life as a prison sentence is not justice to me, but killing each other is. 

And you wonder why 60 minutes did a story on New Yorkers who when witnessing a mugging, crime or other offence, just walked away and did not want to get involved. Why? Same thing, it is a daily occurrence, Police catch em, Judges release em.  That is how Vancouver is becoming, complacent society which prefer to give Hugs to Criminals and Drug addicts, who time and time again commit crimes and are beyond rehabilitation.  Yet for some reason, society here, lets em out on the street.

And you wonder why sometimes there is Police brutality with career criminals who get out on the streets to commit crimes the same day!  That is a No Brainer! Frustration at a Justice system severely broken and officers pissed at this farcical merry go round with Lefty Judges.

So Blast away, I ain't reporting this stuff anymore, I just don't care!

He was alive when police arrived and rushed to hospital but later died, Const. Tim Fanning said. Police are still trying to confirm his identify but believe he is a 25-year-old man who is known to police.
