People are idiots.

The sad fact is you can't fix stupid. People are going to do what they want despite all the warnings.

We don’t care about women’s lives. Beyond sickening how many women are killed by repeat offenders, including with prior convictions for violence against the same victim.

Violent murder. 27 prior convictions including assault of the murder victim. High risk to reoffend.

What do you get? 10 years. Destroyed the lives of her children and family, and likely to do it again. and not even locked up for a decade.

I was going to post the same thing, it's just mind boggling these offenses and the level of repeat offenders, how little time they serve

His arrest, 33 months ago is credited at 2-1. He has in the eyes of the law served over 5 years from a 2021 crime less than 3 years ago.

This scum will be out before he's 40 and will without a doubt, rape, assault, murder and more someone else. A bunch of well educated, influential people are going to sit around wondering how on earth did this happen??

Shocking

Not shocking at all. Canada under years of Liberal government.

"Vladimir" is actually African and likely received 'considerstions' on all his 28 convictions/punishments/sentences.

My friend just passed away and now I have no idea what to do. He was a Los Angeles Kings fan. He took me to Game 3 last year against the Oilers because he knew I hate them and we both had a great time cheering on the Kings and listening to the CHED postgame show on the drive home.

I love all of you. No matter what is going on I can check in here for some Flames talk any time of day. Try your best to live with no regrets.

grieve your loss, remember what a great guy he was and be sad he's gone, help his family and friends if only by your presence, time will take away the pain and leave the good

Thanks. I’m just hanging out on CP because it’s normalcy for me. Not sure if that’s the right way to do it.

It'll work for now.

At least you're not an Oilers fan...or a Manchester United fan.

Thank you so much. My eyes are out of tears I fear, which is different for me because I cry about everything.

We did have a good meetup today with his brother, roommate, friend from San Diego, and me. Just to try to figure out what to do.

He's 32, he'll likely be out at 35, how in hell can someone stab and mutilate someone with 140 strikes using knifes, a hatchet and a lamp only get manslaughter? the judge and prosecutor should be fired immediately for this BS plea deal, a real judge wouldn't allow it and the prosecutor is just plain stupid and incompetent.

I couldn't help myself, Shapiro actually "raps" in it.

There I took that bullet, nobody else has to.
