There is nothing the RCMP want more than to lock this guy away forever. Unfortunately, there is no end to the lawyers lining up desperately wanting to represent this scumbag. It's quite a feather in a lawyer's cap to get the vilest & filthiest of criminals off the hook. They're always quite proud of themselves for their work of this nature. Then there's the loser judges working in cahoots with the dummy lawyers.

S'all I got.

Why isn't he back inside the slammer?

Are we gonna wait until he kills an RCMP officer like the last bozo who should have been inside?
