So let me try to answer the yes or no question people (that's fake tv law by the way) as best I can.
I would prefer at all times to have the most safest low risk people living beside me as my neighbours.
Since that is imaginary, I will accept reality.
If I could choose my new neighbour, would I pick Baker? No. I would pick Bill Gates or my best friend or maybe Lanny McDonald...because they are interesting people. Not because of some false belief they are "safe". Do I have any flipping idea if any of those people are on the verge of a psychotic break? Nope. And neither do you.
So would I be okay if Baker was moving in next door tomorrow? I'd be apprehensive, not going to lie about it. But here's the thing. I've sat in rooms with paranoid schizophrenics, convicted murderers, strung out meth addicts, organized crime leaders, convicted child pornographers, fraud scammers, you name it. I can tell you two people in nearly 15 years that scared me. That's it.
Without exception I spoke to and dealt with each of those people as well people.
I would suck up my apprehensions and introduce myself to Baker. I wouldn't let my kids go play at his house but I don't let them do that with any neighbours. We would make him cookies and welcome him to the neighbourhood. I would pause and consider that over 400 Albertans die in car accidents every single year and I would stop thinking about catastrophic horrors that are never going to be remotely close to as likely to devastate my kids as a bad driver taking me out on my twice daily commute.
And Baker is not a dog and you know that was foolish.

Nice spin at an attempt to answer my question, I'm guessing you're a lawyer or a social worker, those bad asses you weren't scared of was because it was in a controlled atmosphere where little could go wrong, how about trying to stay calm,cool and collect in there environment? I had to in my former life as a cop! out of the drug dealers, likely murderers, bikers and the "crazy's"(schizophrenics) the crazy's were the most feared,turn your back and get stabbed with a pen or hit in the back of the head. and oh do they lie! people think they are stupid but wow schizophrenics are great with lies and deceit.
And you're right Baker(Li) is not a dog, Dogs don't cut of heads with knives and chew on them to freak people out.
I would love to know if Li killed one of your family members would you be ok with this decision but I can tell you wouldn't be honest with the answer.
I'm done with this thread, It's now a waste of time, I have my opinion and it's clearly wrong according to the Canadian courts.
