I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I said many people support the idea of life in prison, as opposed to summary executions on the streets, as certain people in this thread are suggesting.

People are usually eligible for parole after 25 years in prison, most people sentenced to life do get out.

So technically speaking life in prison doesn’t really exist in Canada.

Do you and “many people” support life in prison without possibility of parole?

Life in prison with no chance of parole would make prisons quite unsafe for staff i would think.......

Giving an immate a chance to get out with good behavior when they are old and no longer a risk to reoffend makes sense in many cases...

Yes... But his point is directly related.  Life in prison often doesnt mean life in prison.  So the choice is either ensure justice is served yourself, or resign to the fact the guy who killed your family member will be out in less time than it takes your teen to finish college.

He bought the gun from a police officer? Yeah, that doesn't sound fishy.

This is I why I stated in my original post that I would like to see some response/official statement and investigation by the Canadian gvt.  Perhaps this is still ongoing and we will in time.

 

from the impression I get I disagree with what this guy was involved with but at the same time he deserves some support as a Canadian

You would think that government of Canada will react to one of its citizens being lynched.

This isn't true. Canada has "dangerous offender" status, which can result in an indeterminate sentence.

Dangerous offender status is often contested and “label” is removed so people do get out.

Yes, technically speaking you are right and you may die in prison.

Life in prison without possibility of parole in USA, means exactly that.
