Dear Governor Bush:
In Canada there is no capital punishment even for the most heinous of
crimes. In the Picton case, Mr. Picton is charged with murdering dozens of
women in V6A, dubbed "the poorest ghetto in Canada". If he is convicted as
expected, he will not receive a death penalty. Similarly in the
Jordan case, Mr. Jordan, "the barber of V6A" was convicted of killing
a number of women in V6A by alcohol poisoning, the only case of its kind
in Canada. He served his time and is now free.
The women who are targeted by such serial killers are also targeted by the
serial killers of government. Every day the Government of BC threatens the
poorest of the poor in V6A, people who have committed no crime, with
discontinuation of the services essential to sustain health and life.
There is no trial, no judge, no defense attorney. No due process of law.
If the government follows through on its psychologically torturous threats
(which are written into form/procedures like HR 2863) these people will
become homeless like the Florida woman in the movie, "Monster". According
to Canadian "justice", such people can continue to be deprived of the
essentials for health as the psychological torture becomes the physical
torture of homelessness and exposure-related illness on the street. This
treatment by government serial killers can continue until the victims die
and this is lawful: ergo, the only lawful capital punishment in Canada.
Needless to say, serial killers like Picton and Jordan rejoice at the
help they get from the serial killers of government because homeless women
are particularly easy targets. At least one of our 27 signatories (web
site below) reported to us that she was homeless.
Does Florida also allow and actively pursue such lawful capital punishment
for innocent women or is the movie, "Monster" just a tall tale?
