Vis-a-vis that post I wrote about the Mounties and the guy who killed a man aboard a Greyhound bus. News today:
The family of a man who was beheaded on a Greyhound bus says his killer is "getting away with murder," but the judge who found him not criminally responsible for the "barbaric" slaying says the law doesn't unnecessarily punish the mentally ill...
"Mr. Li will get help," said his lawyer, Alan Libman. "The Canadian public can be assured that the review board will take into consideration the protection of the public. Mr. Li advised me after court that he's going to work with his treatment team because it's his desire to get better."
Li will be placed in an institution. He will be up for review each year to decide if he's well enough to be released into society.
And that's that. For now.

I have a really hard time believing that someone who was carrying a hunting knife on him was "insane" when he committed that horrible crime. He had to know what he was doing. I only hope he never gets out of the institution. Who's to say if he ever gets out, he won't have "God" supposedly telling him to kill someone else. Such Bullsh*t. That's just my opinion.
