It's frankly unfathomable.
The Van Diest family of Armstrong--whose daughter Taylor was murdered on Hallowe'en night in 2011--has been tormented time and again since then by Canada's "justice" system.
Seven years this Fall.
And here we are today, June 6th, 2018, with the Morning Star's headline "Foerster gets life".
Seventeen years is life?
For a now-32 year-old killer?
"I'm just sick of feeling this torment, torture," said Taylor's mother Marie Van Diest.
Her 7 years of "exposure" to Canada's justice system--just barely less than half the final sentence of the criminal, Foerster--hasn't allowed the family to put behind them the horrific story of their daughter's death.
The criminal's defence attorney said the criminal "was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and had consumed vodka, beer, mushrooms and marijuana earlier that day."
So?
I don't care.
Neither do other people.
The Van Diest family doesn't care...because being high on drugs and alcohol is NOT an excuse...for any criminal behaviour!
It isn't in any way, shape or form justification for what the criminal did that Hallowe'en night.
And for Judge Brown to state that the criminal feels remorse?
Of course he's remorseful!
Because he was caught!
The defence attorney goes on to say that his client has "taken rehabilitative steps since the murder, including sobriety since his arrest, participates in AA and three correctional programs."
Sobriety?
Ya think?
Of course!
Because booze isn't served in jail!
Of course he's sober now!
"Prime Minister Trudeau thinks the number one issue in Canada is to legalize marijuana," Kia would've said, adding "which simply indicates his children aren't subject to the same dangers as the rest of the population."
And let's hope Foerster's defence attorney--each night when he sits down to dinner with his family--looks at his children and prays silently that they're never victimized by Canada's justice system.
Because I'd bet he hates his profession...
At least I hope so.
