654 AnonymousSeems fair to me!
655 Brandi Kilmuryi think that what has happened is absolutely totally disgusting. but what is even more disgusting is that vince li cant be held criminally responsible. Almost makes me ashamed to be a canadain. i know plenty of people who have been diagnosed with phsyczophrenian and take their meds and would never even think of doing somehting like this. But he was diagnosed and chose not to make his meds, and we let him off???? Thats disgusting. Whats next?
656 Ashley HardingIt is rediculous that they will not lock this man up. If he is not put in jail he will just commit a gruesome crime like this again. Mentally ill or not, no matter what this man should be imprisoned. He can "get help" while he is in jail.

661 AnonymousThis to me in TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE. He should be put away FOREVER....
662 donnyHe wasnt too mentally ill when the canadian government let him stay in Canada, did they not realize something was wrong. He did not all of a sudden have an urge to kill someone because he already had this huge knife. Smarten up canadian government.

664 AnonymousI believe the public was not totally aware of the events that had happened and if they did, more people would sign this petition. After i read about it I had to sign. I hope more people will sign. This guy has to be locked up forever!

683 AnonymousIt is about time the criminally insane were considered criminals rather than just insane...

686 AnonymousIt is incomprehensible to us that it is possible that someone as disturbed as Mr. Li could have even a remote chance of being released into society after his horrendous crime. We have no argument with the "insanity" verdict however, no matter what caused him to do it, the fact remains that he could do it again and the public should be protected from that possibility by his incarceration.
687 AnonymousI do think that persons should be found criminally responsible for their actions due to mental illness in the sense that, they should not be allowed back into society.

691 Pam RossThis law definitely needs to be changed. If the man who murdered Tim gets released within the next 20 or 30 years we have a serious problem in this country. He needs to be held criminally responsible and treated as such. He also needs to have a criminal record for LIFE.

693 AnonymousThis law is an absolute necessity!

695 Brenda MartinYes, he should be institutionalized. He cannot be cured and if released will most likely re-offend. NCR is a cop-out. He took a life and should not be free to do it again.
696 Andrea TaylorI cannot fathom that our Canadian government would allow this loophole for NCR to apply to this horrendous crime! It is disgusting and ignores the safety of the public as well as not recognizing the agony that the family and all witnesses will live with for the rest of their lives. Please, I implore our government to recognize the rights of the victim(s) over the rights of the accused. Justice must be served and this is an opportunity for our law makers to ensure this type of crime and circumstance does not repeat itself and to also ensure that the victim(s) here get some kind of closure. Otherwise, it would appear that manipulation of laws serve to protect criminals and not society. What does this say about our society and the rights of one vs. the safety of many?

698 Jim NuchterThe law is an ass. Nuts is Nuts and we should get ride of the garbage. Period!
699 elizabeth youngNCR means that the person is not criminally responsible, so therefore it would be argued that the person did not "voluntarily" take an innocent life because his mental illness caused his delusions and his act was prompted by these delusions. The problem I find with this reasoning is this: These people often lack insight into their illness. Therefore, once they are admitted to a mental institution and placed in the law and mental health unit, given medication to treat their mental illness, after a period of time on treatment this person can be deemed "fit" and eventually allowed to re-enter society. The problem is that since he often lacks the "insight " into his mental illness, once he is re-enters society he is likely to stop taking his medication. Once again he will likely re-offend and be a danger to society!! For this reason I believe a person who commits a violent crime such as murder, whether he is deemed "NCR" or not, should lose his freedom for life. Also, if the person is not Canadian born and has been only a recent citizen and resident of this country, he should be deported back to his country of birth, instead of being allowed to either re-enter our society and not only be a threat to innocent lives, but a financial burden to this country. In that way, we would have less threat to our safety and more finances to keep institutionalized the offenders who were either born here or who have become citizens and long time residents and have contributed positively to our society before their illness.
