“What I can tell you is this appears to be a very troubled man who has a lengthy history of mental health-related incidents which have resulted in more than 60 documented contacts with police throughout Metro Vancouver,” Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer said at a Wednesday press conference.
“He has a prior conviction for assault, a prior conviction for assault causing bodily harm, and at the time of his arrest he was on probation out of White Rock for an assault that occurred in 2023.”

No one is debating the man has priors. You are claiming the justice system is somehow at fault for this.
If you're making the larger argument that our justice system does a poor job of rehabilitating criminals, I will completely agree with you.
If your argument is that the justice system failed to confine this person for as long as they should have, you need to produce more evidence. Repeat offenders are still eligible for release, probation, etc., once they have served the time assessed to them. Unless you're advocating to keep offenders in jail indefinitely, you have to understand that recidivism is going to occur.
