I support this petition. I wonder how the Judge that made this decision would feel if it was his son that was brutally kicked & beaten until he died! There doesn't seem to be any good reason to let these teens out of jail until their trial. Being young offenders is not a reason to not be accountable for their actions! Being intoxicated is not a reason to not be accountable for their actions!
What is the reason?????
I support this petition. I do not support the Young Offenders Act & justice needs to start protecting the victims and families of victims, not the criminals
I support this petition. Even a small child at two knows its wrong to hit another. These boys knew what they were doing and should be tried as adults. Instead they are "hiding" behind the young offenders act in hopes of getting a slap on the wrist because the law views them as children. I THINK NOT!!!
I support this petition. These kids need to pay for what they have done. Right now we are sending out the message that you can beat a man to death and nothing serious is going to happen to you.
I support this petition. It was a disgusting and inhumane act that can not be tolerated. The law needs to send a message to all youth and adults alike that acts such as these will not go unpunished. Otherwise this type of behavior will continue.
I support this petition. What does it take to keep dangerous people behind bars where they won't hurt others?!!! I am apalled at our government for allowing these guys out on bail. Furthermore, because of the sadistic nature of this crime I feel that the public has a right to know who these guys are and they should be tried in adult court.
I support this petition.It is important to realize the consequences of our actions. Violence has unfortunately become a fact of life that we have unfortunately all become accustomed to. We have to let these boys know that this act was sensless and unappologetic and could have been prevented. For the demonstration of a complete lack of remorse, they deserve punnishment to fullest extent of the law. This beating was no accident, it was a blatant demonstration of abuse and violence and should NOT be deemed acceptable by any standard. What if this was your dad or brother or uncle??? No one deserves to die like that. I'm sickened by this!
I think Albertans should have a right to know who these punks are. I believe they should scrap the Youngs offenders act. They don't deserve to be out on bail and there parents should also be held accoutable for this senseless act of violence. Throw them all in Jail.
I support this petition. Furhtermore, these four gentlemen should be tried as adults. Collectively they made a decision to end an innocent mans life. A bullet would have been more humane, sadly, this man was kicked to death.
I support this petition. It is time for the legal system to get back on track and show that the law abiding citizens are protected. People must be held accountable no matter what the age.
I support this petition. It is very upsetting that the justice system even considered bail in this situation. What they did they did with intent this is not manslaughter!
I support this petition.Give these kids what they deserve-a strict murder sentence so that others don't think that they can slip through the judicial system as well. We are too soft.
I support this petition. They are too dangerous to be allowed to roam the streets and transit system. Our judges need to be stricter with violent offenders.
I support this petition. The fact that there seen laughing or a smirk on their faces, is a sure sign they knew exactly what they did. It is also a sign they feel because of their age they will get away it!! Come on they beat the poor to death! They are ill and need to be locked up and helped mentally. What will they do next if they walk!!!!!
