I support this petition. It makes me see red that 4 teenagers who beat to death a man that only asked them to be quiet on the bus, getting off with a slap on the wrist!
So I guess killing people is o.k now? We in the Western World think some of the tactics used in some other countries like firing squad etc are too harsh, but atleast it might make somebody think twice. They set the precident now, and killing is ok.
I support this petition 100%. No matter how old the kids were, the fact that they beat someone to death is worth being punished for. If they don't get punished, they will never learn their lesson.
I support this petition. I think our justice system is a joke, esp when it comes to serious crimes and the punishment they receive. And the youth offenders act is an even bigger joke, if they are old enough to do the crime, then they should be able to do the time, and shouldnt have there identities hidden. The Canadian gov't really needs to do something about our judicial system.
I support this petition. As a younger person, it disgusts me to see the justice system be such an absolute failure to the Canadian people and the message it sends to society that one can maintain their rights after they commit murder.
I Believe Alberta/Canada, Needs Harsher Penalties for criminal acts. If a person kills someone, i say, Lock them up for life. OR send then to texas. Let them deal with them. I Find it horrible, that they laughed in court, i know, who the 4 teens are. I have been around them and they dont care about what happens. They are dishonest and dont deserve to be wandering the streets.
I support this petition. These four hoodlums lost their right to freedom when they commited this act. They should remain in custody until they stand trial and are only then freed by a "not guilty" verdict.
The judge who granted bail should be charged for not considering the safety of the public, not to mention giving everyone just one more reason to not believe in our justice system. I fully support this petition.
I support this petition.Does anybody care what happens in this city anymore.I'm barely older than these kids,but what kind of message does this send to the kids in this world?Doesn't anybody value life anymore?This shouldn't have happened in the first place,but it did so now we need to deal with it and put theses kids in jail were they belong.
I support this petition. The victim has been sent the death penalty for no reason. These 4 teenagers believe they have the right to be judge, jury and executioner. Our legal system doesn't want to do it's job anymore and sends the message that they are allowed to do so. Do you want these teenagers to determine if you or your loved ones are allowed to live?
I support this petition. These four teens deserve to pay the consequence of killing an innocent man. This cannot be called an accident and I fully hope these teens have to face adult court.
The justice system, if we may call it that, continues to fail victims across Edmonton and Canada completely. Not just by the release of suspects back into society, but also with the absolutely pathetic sentences handed down to those convicted. How can four youths that beat a man to death on a bus be charged with manslaughter, this is plain brutal MURDER and should be treated as such! As for the supporters of the "four", so very shameful and disrespectful, perhaps they need to suffer the same tragedy in their lives. Clould this be the reward we reap from removing the right of parents to discipline their children properly, we end up with a generation that have grown up with little to no discipline not to mention a total lack of respect for people and their property.
10,000 - 100,000 Bail? Is that all life is worth these days is up to 100,000 bail? Steven Conley is dead, and 100,000 will not bring him back. A 35 year old man stood up and voiced his opinion and now there will be no future for him. What about the children he may have or to come? What will they be with out a father and what about the children that could have been? What future would they have brought to us? Cure for cancer?
I support this petition.To many teens are asuming lite punishment because of there age. We all need to tell the goverment its time for change! Or will it take something more drastic to happen to there own family before they act on this growing problem??
I support this petition. My Question is that with 15 other people on the bus, including the driver, how is it possible that this even happend in the first place. If any of those people would have stood up to help this man, he would still be alive today. I believe that they are all accesories to the crime, especially the driver of the bus!
Lock them back up. They don't seem to understand ,or care about what they have done. The families including there own that they have hurt deeply. Thought they were big men...until reality set in...now surprise surprise they want to be little BOY"S.Cowards comes to mind. They know that way they won't go to jail or take any resonsibility for actions. Why did the parents not take the time to raise responsible, caring and moral young men. Our criminal justice sytem needs to set an example with this case in order to help encourage the general puclic to believe that the accused and guilty will be held responsible for actions taken.
Makes me sick to my stomach for these dumb little shits to be walking around on the street.. I think prison would be the safest place for these kids... if I walk into one of them in an alley, prison won't seem that bad.
It seems to me that the justice system is failing and it is absolutely crazy to let these guys out of jail.There are people with lesser crimes who don't have a chance so why do these kids deserve it?They are the last ones I would let back in the street.Maybe they will kill someone else.Bring justice back into our justice system and quit making the innocent ones suffer when they have already suffered enough!!!!!!!
I support this petition. So in our system, innocent until proven guilty, right? Well, a confession kind of negates the innocent part, so shouldn't there be a punishment for a guilty plea. As far as I'm concerned, playing video games and hanging out with friends in the COMFORT of your own home is not punishment. Nice Legal System.
I don't know why these teenagers attacked this man. But, i do think that it is immoral and unjust to use violence as a means of resolution. The severity of the attack, in itself, is proof that these individuals do not have any social or moral conciousness. What are we saying to them if we let them roam the streets while awaiting their trial? It's okay to murder someone, as long as you are in a group of 4, and are under the age of 18.
I support this petition, if anything because the accused see this as nothing more than a joke. People need to be accountable for their actions, and recognized the value of human life. Shame on our justice system for trivializing the situation as much as the girls who giggled in the courtroom.
I support this petition.the law is way to soft on young offenders...HOWEVER ...why was there nobody helping stefan conley out?? anyway i support this petition
I support this petition. The justice system is a joke! Take away all rights until after court proceedings-just like they took his life away. They surrendered themselves so we know they are guilty.
I support this petition. These teens should be locked up for life. Our justice system is a joke. One would serve more time for shooting a deer out of season !!!
I support this petition. So what will the judges, that let these kids out on bail, say if something happens to a family member of friend by somebody out on bail. Boy, wouldn't the tides of justice turn then?!?
I support this petition. Those kids deserve life in jail. I am embarrassed in our government and the legal system. Those kids killed a man and are being let off with a slap on the wrist. If they have it so easy, then why can't the rest of the world? Send those shitheads to jail where they belong!!!
I come to realize just how unreliable our justice system is over the years. They are constantly allowing dangerous offenders that are in clear conscience of what they are doing out to explore freedom. The same freedom in which they take away from their victims and the families, as well as the public who fear for their own safety. And why are they allowed out? Oh because they are too young to realize that beating someone to death is actually taking a life away. We live in a world that is constantly compensating for people and their actions because of something as silly as age. Send them off, who cares about them, we don't need them around. They knew what they were doing, lets all hate them and hope they burn in hell.
I support this petition.I think this is absolutely disgusting..these kids must be made to realise that life is precious and to be respected..we hope justice will be done.
I support this petition. What is going on in our country when criminals have more rights than victims?? I say lock them up and throw away the key they KNEW and KNow what they did what wrong! The youth justice system is teach our youth that there are no consequences to their actions.
I support this petition. It is important to remember that it is important to preserve'due process' within our society. However, it is also important to preserve the public confidence in the Canadian judicial system. Those who have been charged for the commission of violent crimes should remain in custody until proven innocent. There is a need to ensure that the interest in public safety is taken into consideration.
I support this petition. The defendant's friends and family seemed far too concerned about the well-being of the accused without showing any remorse or regret for the death of a person.
I support this petition. These people have no respect for the law. What gives them the right to drink underage and take another's life. to allow them freedom puts everyone at risk. Laws are in place for everyone.
