First Decree Murder

First Decree Murder
I had a thought from viewing the CTV documentary 'the Pig Farm' about the serial slayings of Willie Pickton. This film ostensibly faulted witnesses for not contacting police early enough, but I disagree. In fact, one of the killer's first victims fought back and managed to flag down a passing motorist who took her to the hospital for life-saving treatment. Pickton, wounded in the scuffle, drove himself to the same hospital where an orderly recovered a key from his pocket that turned out to fit the handcuffs on his female victim. So, wasn't she a witness? A very early one? And didn't she come forward with more than just knowledge but with real stab wounds? Yet her testimony was rejected because, as a 'drug user', she 'lacked credibility'.

I wouldn't criticize the police, either, for taking so long to apprehend this killer. They must work within the law, which can be most constraining. The law prevented police from being able to conduct an effective search of Pickton's farm until more than fifty women [I gather] were murdered.

When I consider how a bleeding victim's testimony wasn't good enough and how police had to wait for an informant to furnish 'grounds' before they could conduct an effective search of the crime scene, it strikes me that our laws were most at fault for the appalling body count in this case. And to top it all off, after all that unspeakable bloodshed, the killer received only a second degree murder conviction. Well, who makes our laws? Politicians. It follows that if you want to out-kill a serial killer, start by seeking public office. Perhaps something to bear in mind as our country heads into another election.

CrimeTube Stinks

Crimetube Stinks Look at all the plagiarism on Youtube today. Here are a couple of my old erased posts from 2006. I've still not received a dime in royalties for them. Let me tell you, a crime like this is so wrong, I bet its victim could still go to heaven after committing a mass-murder/suicide. For the CBC's sake, I hope I'll not be pushed that far. If I'm lying, come and lock me up. If I'm telling the truth, what price will you 18 million viewers pay for supporting such evil fraud? And while I'm at it, does Youtube really need ten commercials on that old forty minute WW2 documentary I saw last night? Surely, it couldn't have cost that much to produce and share. Say what you want about America, land of the free, home of the brave, we got some dumbass motherfuckers floating around that country [like George Carlin fraud fans]. (Now obviously that doesn't include my readers). And I'm not just ranting and raving, I have some evidence t

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen
