You are only focusing on the very few who have escaped and not the majority who haven`t. He will be supervised by two guards. It would be virtually impossible for him to escape. I am not saying he should be released right now, maybe eventually, but he does deserve to have sunshine and fresh air. <br /><br />Yes, I know who the case of Robert Chaulk.Brittany Thiessenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16249744623547261314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307520700323538148.post-2202844956676285142010-06-02T21:01:49.263-07:002010-06-02T21:01:49.263-07:00Two words: Robert ChaulkTwo words: Robert ChaulkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307520700323538148.post-6490381636314827912010-06-02T20:25:35.434-07:002010-06-02T20:25:35.434-07:00A violent offender who was housed at Selkirk was s...A violent offender who was housed at Selkirk was sent out on day passes with a highly unqualified and newly hired employee of the facility, with whom he'd had an affair. As well, other violent offenders out of Selkirk on supervised hospital visits have escaped. Selkirk hasn't inspired confidence in Manitobans. As well, while I understand that Li wasn't responsible for his actions while he was suffering from delusions, his choice to not take his meds is very troubling. This choice eventually led to an indescribable horror. It's natural that people would be fearful of circumstances coming together to allow him to skip his meds and become violent again. Once again, Manitobans haven't been given reason in recent years to trust that Selkirk will uphold whatever responsibilities it may have to ensure he stays on his meds, if eventually released. As far as I'm concerned, if he stopped taking his meds again, after all this happened and he recognized the results of his poor choices, he should be held criminally responsible. And I say this as someone who suffers from mental illness (and takes meds, without fail).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
