So, hypothetically, if an American were to travel to Canada and hypothetically murder a Canadian citizen in a fit of rage, how do you think the Canadian courts would handle the hypothetical murderer in such a hypothetical situation? 

Hypothetically. 

depends what the dispute was aboot.

Aboot this whole aboot thing ,what's it all aboot. Some say we do
 Some say im an idiot for suggesting it. It's aboot time we sorted it once and for all. And no i know no murderers i can only think its because murder doesn't happen so much around here.

I don't think so. Knew a kid that got murdered shortly after high school. Drugs and the streets.

A friend of mine in high school became a two-time murderer, starting maybe a couple years after graduation. He murdered the first person in cold blood - totally innocent victim who he didn't know but stabbed to death at a party when he was in a rage. He just attacked the first person he saw. And then he was released under extenuating circumstances (drunk and with a learning disability leading to rage problems apparently), and he did it again, basically the same exact scenario. He was let out again (he had to do intensive counseling and shit). Last I heard he's happily married. He might have kids now. That must be VERY upsetting for the families of his victims.
The crazy thing is that he was a nice guy. He did get in fights once in a while, but besides that, he was alright, and I never thought he'd be dangerous to anyone. I hung out with him often enough. I liked him. My parents both taught him and they liked him too. And he was from a very nice, stable family with parents who really cared and two very successful siblings. He just had a screw loose... he would snap and be unable to control himself (and it was worse when he drank).

For those that are thinking, "What the f**k?" ... please understand this happened in Canada. Our courts love our murderers up here and do everything to avoid punishing them.

I was waiting for you to chime in on this one. 

lol

I tried, Hugh. I freaking tried to resist... but dammit... I just have no self control.

Hypothetically, should I be getting security, DK?

I dated one of these assailants in high school. He was released from prison after turning on his brother but is now back in prison for parole violation, I think. Drugs are bad, kids.  This woman's story has also been on that I Survived show. Absolutely harrowing.

A guy I went to high school with killed someone in a bar fight when I was in college. From what I remember, details were sketchy about why they were fighting and what actually happened during the fight. The other guy initially survived, but died a day or 2 later in the hospital. It's jarring to find out about something like that, but knowing who that classmate was, I wasn't shocked about it. He came from a well to do family and they hired a lawyer that was able to get him little to no jail time.

Was this in Columbia?

F Me In The Brain

What in the holy hell is in the water 'round here?  Is this an accurate representation of 'people who know murderers' in the general population, or is there something about Pearl Jam fans that makes this % higher? 
Wow. 
Some scary people out there!

(And I do know a guy that attempted to kill his family.  He had berated me on the phone about a project we were working on for Nike a few months prior and I told co-workers this guy was a fucking psycho.  Was sorry to be proven correct.)

Lol. I knew for sure that Thirty would reply to that one... although I'm pretty sure we talked about this case before Thirty. I don't have a super one-sided attitude about this like your do (or maybe just am not inspired to generalize about it like your are, or to exaggerate or use sarcasm the way you do with it), but of course I acknowledge that sentences for violent offenders in Canada are really lacking far too often (not even close to always), and it's a real problem that badly needs to be addressed. I don't think I've ever met a Canadian who didn't think that. That is why I continue to be surprised that the justice system/government doesn't confront this problem. I mean, what in the fuck is stopping them?? It's not like they're being lobbied by child molesters and murderers.

No i don't know anyone personally that has taken a human life , i tend to steer away from any violent person ...
To put it plainly i'd rather be with an animal ...

Animals are pretty awesome, Jose!

Let's get the analogy right. How about... ohhh... "I'd rather pass a kidney stone!"
