I can certainly understand peoples emotions on Li. He has in effect, gotten away with murder. The reality of human nature is very fickle.. We quickly forget the victim, It is a sad reality!
While your thoughts are appreciated, and shared by many people, many other individuals, and groups in Canada would use these same arguments to cloud the real goals of Tim’s Law. The policy and procedures currently used in Canada in regards to people deemed Not Criminally Responsible, is lacking and provides no assurance that this behaviour would not be repeated on another family by the same individual.
This guy is “nuts”… Everyone can agree. And there was likely nothing that could have been done to prevent the tragedy from occuring. But it is also likely, that LI will be deemed “cured” and will walk the streets amongst us again. Whether he is likely to re-offends should be a mute point. He should never have the opportunity.
And that is the reasoning behind Tim’s Law. To open the debate on how we “treat” people who have offended in this manner. Tim’s Law, would do nothing to prevent this type of crime. It could only help prevent it from reoccurring by the same perpetrator. This is a debate that is very much needed.
But we must be careful not to cloud the reasoning, or allow others to cloud the reasoning with rhetoric. We urge you to become involved.
