    Sounds like an incident, which happened a fewyears ago in Abbotsford.

    Drug addicted repeat offenders and a revolving door system leads
    to chaos and dysfunction for the public and puts them at great risk.

      @DeceitinDrugsD Cannot agree with you more. Our judicial system is definately broken and busted; needs a major overhaul, beginning with getting rid of all the patronage appointed BC Liberal judges. Much of the criminal activity and bad behavior stems from the lack of respect for our laws and that is caused by the ridiculous sentences handed out by our judges. Mininal sentences are a good thing, but the judges are fighting them tooth and nail because it removes some of the assanine discretionary self seving philosophies adopted by the judges. The only reason that we have a revolving door judicial system is our judges want to ensure they have job security and often issue get out of jail free passes to the worst offenders, over and over and over again. Our Criminal Justice System apitimizes career criminals. A life sentence is only a life sentence when it applies to the victims and their families who have to live through seeing the criminal of crimes receive short sentences and parole opportunity way before any time served.
