It would seem that over 90% of Canadians feel the young offenders act is a joke.
Which it is.
Some kids here in Winnipeg were stealing cars last year and then running random people down with them. No one was killed but several people were hurt, one jogger was banged up pretty bad and could have easily been killed. The little shits that did it seem to have got hardly a slap on the wrist.
They scoff as they leave the courtroom.

Right. I forgot about that.
I'm not saying that those kids shouldn't be punished more harshly, but I DO admittedly have a problem putting them in an environment where the potential to become a lifetime criminal is greater.
Murder, away for life. Lesser charges, I'm torn as to how I'd like to see that handled.
