Would you invite her over for the family BBQ?

[IcedCap]

There's hundreds of more dangerous offenders than her released every year

The entire justice system is a joke. Ask any cop.

Like she's going to be able to live normal life after she gets out. There are few people in Canada who don't know her face.

[Proculation]

She's supposed to move quite near where I live.
I don't find it terrying at all. More like exciting !
She passed 12 years in prison I don't think she's much dangerous now.

[figfarmer]

She's probably not going to re-offend. They should have hung her, but they made a deal, so they should honour it.

[Patrick_Ross]

I've always gotten the impression that without the right influence (read: Paul Bernardo) to push her in that direction, Homolka was never that likely to kill anyone to begin with.
Still, the fact that someone such as herself can get out of the Canadian prison system within her lifetime is a disturbing fact.

[figfarmer]

they're saying her new man is the same kind of influence. I suppose it could happen. People seemed to be quite often doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Maybe they should lobotomise her.

[Patrick_Ross]

I don't think executing or (as you suggest -- sarcastically?) lobotimizing murderers who show no remorse for their actions to be any kind of a punishment. For them, life imprisonment is worse, because they can't admit they did anything wrong.

[figfarmer]

unfortunately doesn't seem to be an option in this case due to the idiocity of our legal system. Execution prevents re-offending in 100% of cases.

[Patrick_Ross]

Perhaps, but execution should only be used in the most extreme cases. Nonetheless, life imprisonment also reduces re-offence by %100.

It would've been even more disturbing if they hadn't been able to convict Bernardo without her evidence, which they wouldn't have well not till the tapes turned up

most cruel of punishments I would like to see Karla put in the stocks in St. Catherines.

[ridenrain]

Their setting up a room for her at the Pictford pig farm.

[Tory_canuck]

I would burn her house down and have a wienr and marshmallow roast in the burning rubble.The neighbourhood would be welcome to join me.
