I'm tired of commenting on this jr killer. There are 10 other threads going that involve the little twit.

[Scape]

$1:

If Canada is not genuinely committed to its domestic and international obligations, and to the rule of law, then no Canadian is safe.

We were before?

[Thanos]

Actually the legal and civil rights of Canadians who don't join terrorist organizations and then go to foreign countries to blow other people away are quite safe, once again proving the oldest rule in the book remains that if you don't behave like a dick you won't get nailed. Any claim to the contrary is merely more left-wing Michael Moore-esque grandstanding and uber-hyperbole.

EDIT: to correct unfortunate "blow other people" sentence segment. My bad, must've been thinking about something else. Trolling PSG for too long will do that to a guy.

[Zipperfish]

Yeah, these threads should be merged.

[PluggyRug]

This what's happening, the law (American) is applied in this case.

The bleeding hearts should wake and use the olfactory organ they posses to enjoy the roses.

And yes, the olfactory organs possessed by the non-bleeding hearts smell only bullshit.

Need a band-aid Lily? There's blood everywhere!

[EyeBrock]

The horror.....

[kenmore]

Canada is doing the right thing..he should be tried there... end of story and he shouldn't be allowed back in the country... and they should deport his fucking mother and her family..

[Smacle]

lily lily:

Come on... which would you rather smell.... roses or bullshit?

That's a no-brainer to me.

Depends.. do you want to be right or wrong?

Sometimes you have to protect even the most heinous of people's rights in order to protect the integrity of the law.

If we ignore the very laws we are sending our troops to die to protect, then what are we really accomplishing?

The right thing to do is usually never the easiest. The integrity of the Crown rests on our ability and willingness to uphold our laws for everyone.

"CSIS agents interrogated Khadr without first advising him of his right to counsel, a violation of his basic legal rights."

Actually the right thing to do is to let him rot there, Donny that makes no sense what so ever. Theres no law that sais once you commit horrible acts that you got any rights anymore. You commit a murder in Canada, you got jail for a very long time thus you have no more rights unti'll you're released. You go to a foriegn country and join a terrorist organization thats responsable for many NATO troops deaths including his own country mens and kills a fellow Canadian himself and thus has no rights. He is serving his jail time if you will.

I am getting really sick of these people feeling sorry for these people that get mixed up in these terrorist organizations just because they got a canadian citizenship. He got himself involved in that mess, and we shouldn't bail every single Canadian out of a sticky situation that they got themselves in just because they are a Canadian Citizen.

Al'quada's new tactic is to strap bombs to little kids and make them run to NATO troops in hope that they won't kill them because they are just kids in hope the kid will get close enough to kill the NATO troops. The same sick sons of bitches that these people including this kid got involved with and represented. You really want to give that son of a bitch some rights? maybe have him live next door to you? Even though he killed a Canadian Soldier? All because hes a Canadian Citizen? Fuck that, let him rot in there. Let them all rot in there.

dont worry we got this little shit head under control thanks for asking though!

Actually the laws are very clear both in Canada and internationally that if you are accused of a crime you do have rights.

That is what protects you and me from being arbitrarily pulled off the street and held without access to legal counsel and a speedy fair trial.

If we ignore those rights then two things will happen:

a) Criminals will be set free because they were denied their rights

b) Honest people will start to fear that if they are accused of a crime they did not commit then justice may not be served.

These rights are fundamental to our freedoms, if we choose to ignore the rights of certain people just because we are TOLD that they are criminals ...then what the fuck are we doing in Afghanistan anyways?

I'm not defending him. I'm defending our laws that say even scum bags are protected by the same rights you and I are.

I am all for protecting all of our rights and freedoms as Canadians.

The rule of law is only as good as our capacity and willingness to enforce it.

If we pick and choose what rights and laws apply to what Canadians then we have lost.
