Stabbed more than 100 times? Gee, I wonder if he was angry. Perhaps we should outlaw knives as well.

That’s some long life December 3, 2017, what a joke. That is a smack in the face to the family.

You assume he will have a chance for parole, he may not even be allowed to petition for release.

Wow!

No chance of parole for a whole four years. What a stiff sentence.

It’s a bit short of five years, actually. Probably planning to let him out when he’s 21. Meantime he can sit in a comfy cell and play computer games or watch TV.

"F--k these people, man," Skeete Jr. said as he was led out of the courtroom on Monday. "F--k the judge, f--k the police, f--k the system."

A rather light sentence for such an utter lack of remorse.

surely thats a typo ???

2017

shouldnt it be 2071 ???

even 2027 might be considered life...

15 years including the time already served ..

then it might take a few hearings for his petition to be accepted

in 2017 however he will probably be 21 an adult...

maybe that is what was the deciding fact for the short 4 years...

Can’t wait for the liberal lawyers to rush to his defense and claim he did it because of society, etc, etc.

They listened to the police officer who found Skeete walking wide-eyed up the road from the house. They heard the results of an autopsy and how Skeete used four knives, leaving two stuck in Green’s side.

They listened to accounts of the many government and social service agencies that had tried to help the young man since he began getting in trouble at 12 years old.

They listened as he was described in one psychological assessment as being “likable” and further warnings that he is a high risk to commit further violent crimes.

Democrats want to ban knives , then light-bulbs( oh they already did that), ban hands you know also because you never know a hand might someday kill someone or even worse a hand might buy a lightbulb which would cause global warming, also ban large sodas( ok they already did that on too) /sarcasm

less than 100 people get killed in mass shootings per year in the U.S. = a statistically nonexistent event made into the event of the century by the news media

criminals break into 2.5 million homes per year in the U.S.A = a real threat

in the U.S.A 300,000 women get raped each year = a real threat

millions of Americans die each year = old age = reality

trillion of dollars$ in government funded global warming research = a hoax as the world is now actually getting colder

all this propaganda meant to empower government and dis-empower the individual : it is all democrats do especially those in the news media

“no chance of parole until Dec. 3, 2017.”

That ought to show him how serious they are.

Nova Scotia is the Blackest Canadian Province...highest pct of Blacks. And, like in USA, they commit a high pct of crime

Nova Scotia is a scenic marvel...but you have to be careful in the cities...gun control is never crime control

True in Britain as well.

Violent inner-city crime, the figures, and a question of race

26 Jun 2010

-snip-

The data provide a breakdown of the ethnicity of the 18,091 men and boys who police took action against for a range of violent and sexual offences in London in 2009-10.

They show that among those proceeded against for street crimes, 54 per cent were black; for robbery, 59 per cent; and for gun crimes, 67 per cent. Street crimes include muggings, assault with intent to rob and snatching property. Just over 12 per cent of London’s 7.5 million population is black, including those of mixed black and white parentage, while 69 per cent is white, according to the Office for National Statistics.
