  1. I don’t want to see the day that people (broadly) get so fed up that the flood gates burst open and people start attempting to get justice themselves.

    I fear that it’s coming though and in a lot of cases it would be hard to truly blame people.

  2. >Légaré was sentenced to 16 years for the deaths of Emma Lemieux, 10, her half-brother Jackson Fortin, 14, their mother, Shellie Fletcher-Lemieux, 44, and grandfather, James Fletcher, 68.

    >Légaré was under the influence of alcohol and cannabis at the time of the crash. He was driving nearly double the 70 km/h limit when he slammed into three vehicles at an intersection.

    130+ km/h and killed children under the influence. That’s wild he only got 16 years.

    It is truly hilarious how parole boards think it is praiseworthy for somebody to have stayed sober *while in fucking prison*.

  4. Stories like this aren’t journalism, it’s exploiting someone’s grief to make misery porn.

  5. Another protect the criminals story, we REALLY need a reform to our criminal system. This sick drunk who killed 4 should be in jail til he naturally passes.

  6. What the fuck man. Kills a bunch of people and is out in community FIVE YEARA LATER.

  7. David Fletcher says he would love to see his father, sister, niece and nephew again. But he can’t.

    Having all four of those people in my life and then suddenly having them gone is heartbreaking just thinking about. I dont have kids my little nieces and my nephew are so special to me.

  8. It’s disgusting, but honestly by now in Canada do we expect anything harsh for jail time? Kill 4 in a vehicle it only gets looked at as 1. It’s a 4 for 1 deal.

  9. I don’t understand parole boards, never will. 16 years for 4 lives is peanuts to start with. But then released after 4? Come the fuck on.

  10. This is horrible. I’ll never forget the three young teens killed in Sudbury who were walking and hit by a drunk driver who only ended up serving 5 years. Absolutely disgusting.

    Disgusting. Killing someone while drunk should be automatically 15 years per person.
