Yeah, it makes no sense to me to be lenient to people who are sociopathic, they just get more dangerous and worse over time. Lock them up and throw away the key, I say.Hell's bells, chaps, let's not make an issue out of it!
Quebec, if you read the various blogs and other websites, seems to have a tendency towards leniency in sentencing killers. International interest in this case may result in something tougher for this guy but I know of a case where someone served less than half a sentence of only five years for a very nasty killing. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter because he was a nut case and a murder charge may not have succeeded. Half way through the sentence he was deemed sane again (a psychopath!) and released. He has since been pardoned.
