The prohibi- tion against “cruel and unusual punishment” in the Charter of Rights is not there to allow unelected judges to create a new crime of per missible murder” punishable with a nominal sentence. Latimer was clearly guilty ofa planned and deliberate murder and should have been sentenced in accordance with the law.

A year ago I was driving, my niece around town. We arrived at Prospect Point. The last tourists of the season were taking photographs of the pool of blood where an MIDLAND WALWYN BLUE CHIP THINRING™ emotionally distraught man had been shot down like a mad dog by a city policeman. The police had been told of his mentally disturbed con- dition by his wife. She had phoned them for help after he had feft their home with a gun, apparently bent on sui- cide. The police knew exactly what the situation was but instead of equipping them- selves with the gear to con- trol him, they shot him dead. Last week a friend from a major international news agency witnessed a similar incident on Granville Street. A deranged old man bran- dishing, some sort of a cere- monial dagger and a pair of scissors was gunned dawn the police before his incredulous eyes. My niece and my friend were stunned. They come from a country where the police do not carry guns except in the most exception- al circumstances. When the police and army were accused of having a “shoot to kill” policy in deal- ing with the blood-thirsty IRA there was an enormous outcry from a people who have not forgotten the dan- gers of an armed force threat- ening the liberties of the sub- ject. They were even more astonished by the blatant pro- paganda handed out by spin- doctoring policewomen on the television, mouthing ghb, self-serving rubbish about “police-assisted suicide” as if they were providing a regret- table bur necessary service.
