It's no secret that I have been supportive of Tim's Law and Carol deDelley's fight to change the NCR law.
I have kept the story of Tim McLean's brutal murder front and centre in the magazine and online for a reason. The Not Criminally Responsible law has GOT TO CHANGE!!
This law first came to my attention - and the attention of most Canadians - after Tim was beheaded, cannibalized, had his body ripped apart in front of multiple Greyhound bus passengers while the RCMP stood by and did nothing. It was a "Preservation of Life" policy that prevented them from doing anything and since Tim was already dead, they couldn't very well storm the bus and kill Li.
So, Li was eventually found Not Criminally Responsible, which means no one is responsible for Tim's murder.
And now, in the news is the story of the BC father - and I use that term loosely - who murdered his three kids while they slept. He wrote the words "Forever Young" and "Gone to Neverland" in soy sauce as a message to their mother.
Well that same goddamn NCR punishment is being thrown around.
630 Ched reported: He told the court that the girl fought back, putting her hand up and crying out "I'm sorry, Daddy, I'm sorry," and then pulled his hair as he slashed her neck.
"I told her to go to the white father," he testified.
Now, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a psychologist but I am a mom and I swear to GOD if anyone did that to my kids there is no way in hell I would want that NCR verdict passed.
NCR is bullshit. SOMEONE is responsible for murdering those kids. If not their dad - who admitted to killing them - then WHO!?
Carol's fight to change this law has seemed to have stalled, not for her lack of trying but for lack of anger and empathy by the general public.
When Tim was murdered, the story was heard around the world. People from all over the globe were sending messages of support, starting Facebook groups, they were outraged!!
And now? Well, the petition for Tim's Law has stalled at 800+ signatures.
Why? What are YOU waiting for? Are you waiting for some crazy fucker to come and do to your kids what they have done to Carol's and to Darcie Clark, the mother of those slain children?
Get pissed off! Help Carol make the change that NEEDS to be made to the Not Criminally Responsible law.
It's a bullshit law and you know it.

Yes in deed. Thank you so much for posting this and please stay involved.
ReplyDeleteSince Tim's murder, I have been drawn to his family, particularly Carol because I can't imagine having to live her life. I want to do anything I can to help her and the only thing I can do is to keep this story alive and keep people ANGRY and feeling the same outrage they felt the day Tim died. That anger is going to spark CHANGE!!
