Optimism in transferring Paul Bernardo is galling. It puzzles me that intelligent, heartfelt left-wing people often fail to understand evil. They don’t concede it exists. They are wrong. Opinion by HeatherMallick
A designated dangerous offender, Bernardo had been in maximum-security Millhaven near Kingston, Ont., with little time outside his cell and barracked with the kind of killers no one can stand. We keep them clumped to keep the peace.
. But the prison system cannot seem to regulate itself well. Even with oversight, it fails badly, and the Bernardo debacle is proof of that. Some prisoners are lifetime finalists, rightly so. We don’t want the judicial and penal systems to become objects of cynicism, like some police forces. Bernardo doesn’t have problems with anger, he has problems with lining a room with plastic so that dismemberment doesn’t leave splashback. He has problems with mixing concrete. He has problems with mercy for a weeping child who knows she’s about to die.
