But in this case its more about the failure of social services and mental health care of the perp, so he wouldn't be untreated and on the streets.

Not really. In the shoes of the victim, I too would be traumatized and terrified.

But you can't kill or imprison for life every wrongdoer in order to satiate your desire for revenge. Crime will always be with us. It will always be upsetting and traumatic to the victims.

You have to balance reformation and fair treatment of the offender with protection of the victim and society.

This is where you say "But the courts failed to protect the public in this case because the criminal was released on bail and promptly re offended."

And this is where I say "But the law and order people only publicize instances where the system fails and not the majority of cases where the system does not fail, as part of their campaign of stirring up outrage, anger and desire for vengeance."

And that's the conversation, right?

Spoken like a true liberal.
I don’t understand why liberals are always defending criminals.
This guy needs to be locked up for at least 5 years.
Putting him back on the street is endangering the public.

Here's the problem. These are minor crimes and detaining him in custody will end up him serving more time in jail than he would if he pleaded guilty and was sentenced.

And that's at the public expense.

And he's probably got mental health problems - which is why he attacks people.

So you geniuses solve the problem for the justice system. I'll listen while you rant about bail orders.

Assault causing bodily harm can be treated summarily but I doubt in this instance. The victim's injuries were pretty severe and this guy has a history of violence. Its a felony and could carry up to 10 years in prison. I doubt he'll get close to that however. It is Canada after all.

I understand why. It's been studied that people on the left wing spectrum are more likely to have a mental illness than a person on the right.
They're mostly sick people who are perfectly fine with criminals roaming the streets- like the two deranged left wing judges in the states harbouring illegal immigrant gang members at their homes- what mentally sane judge does that?

Violent criminals like the person in the ops story need to be locked away from harming fully functioning contributing people in society.
