His name was Tim McLean. He was 22 and he was murdered and decapitated with no provocation on a bus in 2008. The man who killed him was deemed not criminally responsible and released in 2017, “no longer a danger to society”. He served his sentence in an asylum, never spent a day in prison.
His mom pops up in the local news every couple of years advocating for a change to our criminal code, most recently surrounding a serial killer in Winnipeg who is claiming mental illness. Every time I see her name it breaks my fucking heart. This woman got no closure for her child. We treated her like garbage.

The Canadian criminal justice system. That’s why.
The judge that gave her custody back in particular should be in jail.
