Who's On First?
For the first time in Canadian history, a man has been released on bail after admitting that he shot and killed a police officer.
The man is accused of murder. He claims he didn't know the guy he shot 3 times with a .357 Magnum was a police officer. So now a Quebec judge has released him on bail.
But...let's see.
He admits that he shot SOMEONE 3 times with a .357 Magnum. The small detail that this was a police officer that he shot and that all of this happened during a crazy shoot-out in a major drug and stolen cell phone raid doesn't seem to have impressed our learned fellow on the bench.
Shoot a cop 3 times, claim ooops, sorry, I didn't know he was constabulary, and you walk out on bail.
A milestone. A millstone. A new low for Canadian jurisprudence.
What are we going to do about making judges accountable?

... funny mr. B, if you got caught with a bag of weed ( not that you do)i bet they would put you in the bucket for 25 years making big rocks into small ones, are these guys from another planet?
Give them way less money, maybe we'll get the people that care about our society, not the fat paycheque, but seriously, let us vote! Let the people choose their judges, most of us are fed up with the incredible sweet deals criminals get!! If you can't mete out the deserved punishment, you wouldn't get voted back in.
