Sounds like an extremely violent offender that also threatened women and children.
I'm failing to see why some on here are minimizing his past offenses.

sorry but this is an absolutely typical record of a DTES street level junkie, he wasnt even considered a violent offender within the system because this behaviour is so typical of most that end up in the criminal justice system, as I have said this record doesnt come close to the history of 5 or more kids I have cared for in their teens
The thing that separates a 'violent offender' from a regular one is not just stabbing his friends with a fork but stabbing them 50 or a hundred times, blinding one of them and sending the other one to hospital for three months in a coma, again threatening his wife or some store clerk but not beating them to within an inch of their lives is an indication he isnt a particularly out of control violent offender, if you are on a parole board that would be seen as a sign of some self control.
His criminal history is absolutely ordinary, no different to most of the ones a federal parole board would deal with day in and day out and that is the problem here, do you look up thousands of offenders for life at a cost of billions a year?
