OYE! Backpeddle, buddy... but be all snotty about the stupid thing you tried to do, too.
TORONTO — An American prosecutor said on Tuesday that he regrets the political firestorm caused by his decision to allow a teacher convicted of a sex offence in Buffalo, N.Y., to serve probation in Canada.
Frank Clark said he was astounded that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other politicians had exacerbated a furor ignited by faulty media reports, and he now feels obliged to try to douse the flames.
"Obviously, there are members of Parliament who have used this for their own particular purpose," Clark said in an interview from Buffalo.
"This happened to be a pretty good target to shoot at and they shot at it, and there’s nothing I could do about it other than try to correct the misperception that was created."
Not much of a mispreception really. The fact all these so-called lawyers keep ignoring (likely intentionally) is that convicted felons can't just hop over the borders anytime they please. Anyone's borders.
I love that "faulty reports" bit, too.
I still can't fathom why anyone is surprised that Canadians don't want a convicted pedofile banished to Canada... and believe it or not, the key word there is CONVICTED. It makes NO sense at all. I know American's would be all-a-twitter if the situation was reversed.
What the hell is wrong with our borders? Or theirs for that matter?
That's just wrong. And both sides should be up in arms about it. You're right. We don't want your convicted felons and you shouldn't have to put up with ours!! I wonder if there's any sort of complaint board one could write to about this Judge on the U.S. side...hmmm....
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I haven't seen anything originating in the US yet.
