Crooked in Canada

Back in 1995, gang member Tuc (Tony) Khan Tran shot an unarmed Ryan Davids in the back as he was running for cover in a shootout that occurred near the Banke nightclub.

For his cowardly act, Tran received a life sentence with no parole for 12 years two years later, which meant he would be locked up behind bars until 2009.

For whatever reason, the man was released from jail before the 12-year term was up, and on July 26, karma caught up with him and he was gunned down while he sat in his BMW.

One can only hope that more gang members in Calgary meet the same fate. As far as I am concerned, the sooner rival gangs kill each other off, the safer Calgary will be. For every gang member killed there is one less killer on the streets.

If the police are so overwhelmed that they can’t take as many gang members of the streets as they would like to, and the courts can’t be bothered to ensure that they are kept off the streets, or at the very least serve the sentences they are given in their entirety, then letting them kill each other isn’t such a bad idea.

Vigilantism is not such a bad idea either. I do not have a problem with Calgarians or any other Canadian for that matter taking the law into their own hands when it is obvious the police and the courts are handcuffed by the constitution and bill of rights that seems to protect the criminals in society more than it protects the victims.
