  1. So this incident is more proof that Canada’s judicial system favors on the side of repeat offenders who should remain behind bars indefinitely!!!Courageous bystanders!!! bravo for intervening!!!

    1. Canada has a judicial system? I thought it was just a free-for-all where you could commit crimes and be back on the street in 24 hours. Got to love those liberal policies. Soft on crime really working.

    2. I swear citizen militia’s and neighbourhood watches are going to pick up steam in the next few years. Catch and release isn’t working and like the woman said, now this guy is back out and can just come back but this time with actual targets in mind.

    1. I blame disability and unemployment not keeping up with inflation on anyone who voted Bloc Québécois because I obviously don’t scapegoat my political opponents

  2. I can’t say enough about how ridiculous it is that this guy is let free while peaceful protesters are demonized and held for ridiculously long periods. Shall we still pretend that Canada does not have political prisoners?

  3. Your not a hero for doing what’s reasonable. You don’t get a reward for keeping the speed limit your whole life, it’s expected.

    1. A week from now only the person he saved will care. After saying this you are now obligated to help someone who needs help.

  4. Why the explosion in crime? East Hastings was always bad but today, it;’s out of control. You can’t even walk on the sidewalks anymore.
