This a knee-jerk response from someone from whom we should expect better

I struggle to fully express my outrage and sadness at learning about this attack on an innocent child in Halifax this afternoon. My thoughts are with the victim and their family. The person who did this is clearly a threat to the public and should be kept locked behind bars.

I have so much sympathy, empathy, sadness and worry for the little 6 yr old who was so harmed in Halifax yesterday, as well as their family…..beyond words.

But, people need to think. A punitive reactive statement suggesting the person performing the violent act must be locked behind bars for public safety is a cop out.

The monstrosity of our time.
We know and pretend not to know.
We give it other names, we make up excuses.
Israel is erasing Palestinians from Palestine - starving, torturing to death, pulverising homes, schools, churches, trees, human bodies, burning them in tents - and we call is "self-defense".
Israel's self-defense is the defense of ideological hatred turned political doctrine. And genocide.

In order to free up some of the judicial backlogs in Britain, magistrate courts have been given more power. But this move has raised questions about the quality of justice being served https://t.co/97C3CctBMC 👇

OnlyFans gives women the chance to earn money by making porn. Sex traffickers also use the platform to abuse and exploit them, say police and prosecutors. The accused range from social media influencers to cash-hungry boyfriends https://t.co/5KvGivT0kh @specialreports

The Black misleadership class continues to be a complete embarrassment. Greg Fergus also excused Trudeau’s blackface and said only immature people cared about that. Then had the nerve to talk about racism and “self care” last time I saw him speak!
