Should we still call it the Criminal Code of Canada?

There once was a time that criminals could expect swift punishment for the crimes that they inflicted on the law abiding people of this land. That changed. The libs make being a career criminal an easy way of going through life.

There used to be a time when a life sentence meant life. Usually a long life on the end of a very short rope. Not in Canada. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means suggesting that we start a production line like the state of Texas. Where it seems that they have a monthly quota.

I bring you to the case of Windsor, Ontario Police Constable John Atkinson. Constable John Atkinson was gunned down on May 5, 2006. Just two blocks from his home while pumping gas. The scum bags, 18 yr old high school dropouts, Nikkolas Robert Brennan and Coty Clifford Defausses were involved in a drug deal at the time.

Nikkolas Brennan, 20, was convicted of first-degree murder in the May 2006 death of Const. John Atkinson. However, under a section of the Criminal Code commonly referred to as the "faint-hope" clause, Brennan — like any other person sentenced to life in prison — will have the option after 15 years to apply for early release. This is wrong, instead of a faint hope of early release, there should be a parade to the electric chair. Done.

That is why I question why we have a criminal code. Where are the rights of the victims of crime intrenched. Instead of a criminal code I feel it is high time to change it to 'The victims of crime' code. An idea that is long over due.

Thank you for protecting my community Cst John Atkinson and rest in peace.
