Tim's
Life, Tim's Law
By
Tamara Plant
What
is Tim’s Law?
Carol
proposes a life for a life, meaning
the person who takes a life will lose
his freedom for the rest of his natural
life. Not a whittled down sentence
and time served for “good behaviour”
or any of the other legal B.S. that
goes on in our “Criminal Justice”
system, but a life served in a facility
for the criminally insane.
She compares such a facility to Gollersdorrf
prison for the criminally insane in
Austria that will hold Josef Fritzl,
the Austrian who confessed to imprisoning
his daughter for 24 years and fathering
her seven children.
Among those being held there is Robert
Ackermann, who killed and then ate
a man's body parts.
How
can you support this law?
Carol
is one very strong-willed, determined,
and focused woman who needs help making
to make Tim’s Law a reality.
Too
many times, a story is sensationalized
in the media and then dismissed once
something bigger and more tragic happens.
Her
ultimate goal is to protect other
families from experiencing the same
loss and injustice as a result of
the current NCR law.
Imagine
that the next time you read about
a vicious crime, it’s your child
who is the victim.
And
then imagine that the murderer gets
the same bullshit punishment as Vince
Li.
“I
think Timothy’s death, happened
this way, was a brutal as it was,
to bring attention to the issues so
that change will happen. So that this
doesn’t continue to happen.”
I
asked her how she is going to make
this all happen and her answer was
simple.
“I
don’t know but I'm learning as
I go, and using all resources and
assistance offered. I have never been
in the justice system. I don’t
know what I’m doing.
“I
will take it as far as I can but I
don’t know how I’m going
to get there.”
Before
Tim’s murder, she was a “school
bus-driving mom,” who took a
part-time job cooking for a seniors
lodge to pay for trip to Florida for
her and her family. Obviously, the
family never took that trip and she
hasn’t been able to work since
the murder.
Carol
has focused all of her time and energy
trying to make a difference and change
the NCR law.
I
asked if a lawyer had stepped up and
offered services Pro Bono but she
said no.
There
is a petition available at
www.TimsLaw.ca
that needs signatures.
From
one mom to another, show your support.
Put
yourself in Carol’s position.
Can
you imagine? M
