Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservatives have been warning Liberals for years that if cops won’t arrest thieves and carjackers, citizens will take the law into their own hands. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is what that looks like, at first.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Except if this guy gets convicted, everyone else will learn a lesson from it. It’ll end differently next time. The next guy won’t call the cops. He’ll finish the job, leave the body in the street, and drive his van home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Because that’s what happens if cops won’t arrest thieves and carjackers, but Will arrest citizens who had no alternative to taking the law into their own hands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
