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

Honestly, I'm not super familiar with the criminal spectrum in BC.
Would there be 4 thousand (even more) violent offenders with this kind of criminal long record that would essentially be unlawfully at large running around committing crimes right now? That would go a long ways to explain this thread:
