How the fuck are we expected to stop gun violence if we are letting people like this walk away from their crimes? No amount of gun control on legal gun owners will stop gun violence if we let illegal gun traffickers walk free.

Time to make another law to restrict legal gun owners, that'll fix things.

In the defence of our legal system, he did pinky promise to not skip bail... I don't see what else they could have done.

They could have denied him bail, but once they allowed it, yeah, they were kind of stuck.

Why don't we change the rules a bit?

I propose that if someone commits a crime while on release for bail, or a promise to appear, or an undertaking, then the person who issued that release should be held accountable. This includes not showing up.

It seems that literally every crime committed in my city seems to be from someone who has multiple failure to comply with release orders on their record.

One pedo who was just arrested had SIX failure to comply.

Another degenerate who stabbed someone on a bus and who assaulted an elderly man has FOUR fail to comply with his probation order.

Some dipshit armed robber was recently arrested and also had FOUR counts of fail to comply with a release order.

It doesn't end. Have responsibility rest on those who are supposed to be protecting the public, and we'll see how quickly crime drops.

I'm confused. Didn't we ban handgun imports in Canada? Is this saying criminals don't care if they are breaking the law? Strange that punishing every legal gun owner doesn't stop illegal gun activity...
