When I think about the state of our justice system, I'm reminded of a simple yet disturbing fact:
A woman is speaking out after an attack on a CTrain platform left her badly bruised. The accused had recently been let out of prison for killing her own mother.
attributed to CTVNews. This incident is a stark illustration of how flawed our justice system can be, particularly when it comes to parole boards and judges who seem more interested in rehabilitation than punishment.The fact that the accused was released from prison after killing her own mother is a troubling sign that our justice system is more focused on coddling criminals than protecting innocent citizens. What's even more disturbing is that this individual was able to commit another heinous crime, this time against a stranger, in a public place. The attack on the CTrain platform was not only violent but also seemingly random, leaving the victim with severe injuries and a deep sense of trauma.
The question on everyone's mind should be: why was this woman released from prison in the first place? What could possibly have led the parole board to believe that she was no longer a threat to society? The answer, unfortunately, is that our justice system often prioritizes the rights of the accused over the safety of the general public. This is a dangerous precedent that can have devastating consequences, as we've seen in this case.
It's not just about this one incident, though. This is a symptom of a larger problem - a justice system that is more concerned with being 'woke' and rehabilitation than actually meting out justice. The idea that we can simply rehabilitate criminals and release them back into society without any consequences is a myth that has been perpetuated for far too long. The reality is that some people are beyond rehabilitation, and it's our job to protect the innocent from them.
The victim of this attack deserves justice, and so do the countless others who have been affected by the failures of our justice system. It's time for us to take a hard look at our priorities and ask ourselves what we value more: the rights of criminals or the safety of our citizens. The answer should be clear.
