American high crime rate and the justice system really dont have any correlation. IMO there is high crime because it's pretty much a third world country in a lot of areas. The Mexicans sure don't help either. Poor Black areas sure don't help as well.
Why would anyone think that the crime rate would go down because of more lenient laws? Because I sure don't. I just want to see Canadian criminals actually serve real time for their crimes.
Remember Jackie Tran? What about Vuthy Kong? the guy who put a steak knife deep into someones back and killed him and got away with 7 years for MANSLAUGHTER. Got out and was re-arrested for drugs and only got 90 days.
If that's not a joke I don't know what is. No matter what other country you look at.
