I'm not trying to argue that this guys isnt a violent drunk or low level criminal, he is, but if you are going to lock up every guy with a history like his for life you are going to need 5 or ten major jails extra per province or more, there are at least 4 thousand in BC that would fit his history, almost none of whom will ever do much more than steal the odd bicycle and get into random fights with which ever poor sap or partner they run into.
Right up until he killed those people this guy was an absolutely unexceptional drunken criminal that would likely continue to offend into his late 30's and then age out of the behaviour, he is not even particularly violent by corrections standards
