I'm really not sure what you're ranting about here. The system appears to be working.

I doubt that whatever you're trying to say here has any play in how the parole board or legal system makes their decision, so largely pointless to even bring up.
"I am sorry your mom got stabbed to death in her sleep, but since the overall murder rate in Canada is so low, we won't change a thing about how we deal with people who have 50+ previous incidents, and have threatened to murder people."
End of the day the parole board missed this one, but not sure if it is their fault. We had other posts on here where it was pointed out the parole board does at times not approve parole even after 25+ years of serving a prison sentence.
