I know this is a slightly off topic, but I wonder how many stories like this we'll need to hear before there are some serious changes made to our legal system. I understand that these things don't change over night but stuff like this has to stop.

The problem is that everyone is pointing fingers in this sort of situation. There are dangerous offenders that have that status overturned on appeal, so that is a judicial failure (or a failure of the prosecuter to present a valid cas on appeal). There are cases where legislation fails to allow a long enough sentence, so that is a failure of the government. The you have these dirtballs getting let out after only serving 2/3 of their sentence because the parole board thinks they are behaving well.
