OT: Local cop murdered, Our little community is in shock Options

[Mark Henry]

A local cop in our county was murdered over the weekend responding to a 911 B&E call. He leaves behind a wife and 2 children. Throat slit but he did manage to cap the guy in the leg before he went down. They caught the 18yr old punk who did this, apparently he was pissed off at cops and life in general. We don't know all the details yet.

This is the first murder in our county in 75yrs, most of us move out here thinking this shit couldn't happen here.

Canada hasn't had the death penalty for a few decades, but I read that public opinion there had recently indicated that perhaps they should bring it back. I dunno.

First degree murder in Canada nets a life sentence and no possibility for parole for 25 years. I'm not sure how closely they follow that in Canada, but it seems in the US that a sentence of this magnitude would let the guy out of jail in 3 to 5 years "with good behavior".

I remember seeing a B grade movie years ago in which the offender was dropped off on a penal island and left to fend for themself. There were lots of people on this penal island, some good, most bad. Give the guy a nice little vacation.
