It sounds like this constable was a pretty nice guy. One of the first responders to Swissair 111 in Peggy's Cove too. It's good that the sonofabitch shooter is dead, but he just should have done that instead of trying to take two good mounties with him. I hate to bring it up, but I will be using this as a perfect example of why we should be allowed to keep and maintain weapons for home defense. All of this occurred a couple miles from where Boots, Jared and I live. I knew something was up when the Air-1 helo kept making passes over the neighborhood.

Man who shot St. Albert Mounties had at least 100 charges against him since 1994 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/ ... -1.2917780Bob Paulson was on the news yesterday, asking what this guy was doing on the street. Maybe his question will carry more weight, since it's about a cop shooter (who may soon become a cop killer).

And he's quite right. Why was this guy walking the same streets as me?

Agreed. Tho since he had never killed anybody, he would be on the streets at some point. To me this is an argument for more rehabilitation efforts in prison. I support longer sentences to help this rehabilitation take effect, you can't do it overnight. Also, habitual criminal designation to be used more often, but again, an honest effort at rehabilitation has to be made.

Longer sentences? $1: Since 2010, Rehn has been sentenced to a total of 10 years in jail for a variety of offences, including possession of a prohibited firearm, escape from custody, theft, and breaking and entering. Some of his sentences were reduced because of time served awaiting trial. Seems to me, he shouldn't be out after 4 years, given a sentence of 10 years. He shouldn't even be out for 3 more years! Seems to me as well, with 3 warrants for him this year, and previous convictions for intimidation with a firearm, he shouldn't be let out until after trial! We have a nice shiny new remand center, let him be the first to break in a brand new mattress! I don't think longer sentences should be a solution until we've tried letting them serve a whole sentence first.

Same diff, tho having parole is a good system. If makes them behave more in prison to try to get parole (that was the reason for the faint hope clause as well) and lets us keep an eye on them when they are out. So a longer sentence, but with a long parole period would work better than a shorter sentence served to the end with no parole. We do need to put more money into the parole system tho, so parolees are much better supervised.
And really, as long as prisons aren't focusing on rehabilitation, they're just going to come out worse than they went in.
Martin would probably like to lock them up for life. Guess what that would take? Lots more money.

Events would indicate that by any measure, Rehn was not rehabilitated at all ... not any way. The early release tells us that the parole board failed and, I suppose, the prison also failed to achieve the result that they say they are there to make Fail. Fail. Fail.

I also fully agree with allowing Canadians weapons to defend themselves and their homes - and the ideal weapon for that task is a pump action shotgun, not an AR-15.

They were probably holding off to line up transplant recipients.
I hope that they were able to transplant some of the murdering scumbag, to get some positive end out of a useless carcass of a human being.

CBC just reported that at the shooter's last bail hearing, the crown agent, a policeman, did not object to him receiving bail - there was a joint submission to the court by prosecution and defense agreeing to bail.
