Of course, Canada has no death penalty. It would be too cruel, I suppose. Certainly seems appropriate in this case. I think Texas has the right idea. And if you are in a gang, it does not matter exactly who pulled the trigger.
How could the perps think that they could ever get away with this? I suspect that it is partly because of the soft attitude of Canada toward murderers.
By the way, you might want to check out the crime rate in Canada: for the most part, they are such nice people, and so concerned about gun safety that it is very awkward to own or practice with firearms, and the official position is that it is unthinkable that you should ever defend yourself with a firearm. They are so tender-hearted, and yet the crime rate is just about double what it is in the States, and has risen in the last decade.
You got a source for this?
