Hardly an anomaly

Check out the case in Armstrong BC. The man who abducted and drugged a little girl there this past summer has gone through EIGHT failed bail hearings. Where's the justice?

Interesting to see the Homolka beast brought up!
What ever happened to the Crown Attorney who muffed that deal?

The liberals made him/her a judge...

o ya. the old dungeon thing again.

I used to walk my harrier 'bunny' past the house where homolka lived. the great search was on for a frigging cream colored camero. selling price for that model went in the toilet because the keystoned cops for lack of anything else would make a show of pulling over every cream coloured camero in the entire niagara region.

they found a silver coloured toyota in homolka's driveway.

the incriminateing video tapes were inched from the empty heads of the cop investigators for the better part of a year whilst they ripped the walls open. gee, musta seen that on a cop show, ya, thats what we gotta do, rip the plaster off the walls....

etc etc

bunch of bluthering doofusses the lot of them.

bevan, the lead cop was hired as ottawa chief soon after.

The whole deal smelled fishy right from the start.Now they have lost the computer.And the diskettes.And the backups. Umm..Damn?...oops?

No doubt those images are in cyberspace, making the rounds amongst these degenerates...

I have been to places (during my time in the service)
where childporn was sold openly on the streets.To these Canadian eyes,it was a shock.Unfortunately , there is a huge world wide market for this crap, and the exploitation of children continues unabated as people strive to please their customer base.

As an interesting aside, whilst dredging the lakefront down by Cherry Beach (looking for the cream coloured camaro one would assume..) the police found a colt .45 automatic pistol. When traced by serial number, it had been reported stolen by the American Army Airforce in 1934.It is thought it changed hands many times over great geographical distances,before being used in a robbery on King street.

During the course of the escape, one of the robbers dropped the pistol and the magazine seperated from it.

All these years later,the police combed through first computer than paper records searching for any clue.In 2001, and quite by chance, a former metro detective sleuthed out some of the notebooks of the police who had been at the scene.After about a week of part time reading ,he came across a mention of the magazine and its serial number.

These service pistols have matching serial numbers on the(original) magazine and the pistols frame.Sure enough, both matched! It was the same pistol used in a botched robbery in a store in which the proprieter was shot dead.

The police never found the murder weapon,and could not charge the men they suspected. As fate would have it,one of the suspects was killed overseas in Europe during the war.The other briefly joined the infamous Boyd gang in Toronto before disappearing into the mists of time..

One expects some police errors: The system is far too complex to be error free. That said, there are well understood systems with the purpose of gaining fewer errors. Sadly, police do not take advantage of QA systems, such as 6-Sigma. That may be a budget problem ...

One thing I don't understand about this stupid case. Why hasn't he been charged with obstructing justice in the Colorado case? Isn't claiming to have committed a crime you didn't commit a crime in itself?

Two things could have happened:

1. The computer is in storage somewhere else and someone forgot to fill in a blank line.

2. There are a few compromising cop names on that computer.

Any good hooker keeps a list of famous his/her clients just for situations like these - it's called a blackmail card ;-)

I don't expect him to live long if that is the case either.

Sad.
