This week the community, and it seems the entire country, was shocked after the CFB Trenton base commander was arrested and charged with murdering two women and sexually assaulting two others.
The matter is working it’s way through the justice system, and I want to stress that none of the allegations have been proven in court.
But this blog isn’t really about Colonel Russ Williams, it’s about the women.
More than once this week, I’ve heard the two Tweed women who were sexually assaulted in September but not killed, described as “lucky”.
If a man broke into my house in the middle of the night, bound me to a chair and sexually assaulted me - I think I’d have a hard time feeling lucky.
It’s a truly monstrous situation when a woman is considered lucky because a man helped himself to her body but not her life.
I know I keep talking about this idyllic world I want for my daughters. I’d like to add to wish list that they can live alone and not run the risk of being raped and murdered.
Your sentiment is very valuable. And you are so right. Crimes against people are the worst of all crimes and should be treated as such. It's one thing to steal a car; it's something else again to slug a woman (or man) when stealing that car. Obviously, going beyond a theft to an assault to a sexual assault with implied death is a life-changer. That's why convicted criminals in such cases should receive special treatment, above and beyond other crimes. Williams, who has reportedly fully confessed to more than 50 crimes, including at least 2 murders, and will never again be a free man if our justice system works, is the worst of the worst, if convicted. I lament the victims, I applaud the police who caught him as soon as they did by excellent police work and few clues. I have followed this case closely as I live in the area and know how much a CFB Trenton base commander is normally revered. My best source for details from early on Monday has been www.NewsWatchCanada.ca which appears to be following this in detail, daily.

I left a bad review on amazon for a rubbish book I had read. I gave the book 1 star. However it actually deserves 0 stars. Is it possibl for me to change this, and can you give a book 0 stars? I've clicked on "edit my review" but I don't seem to be able to make the star I gave it go away, it seems I can only increase the stars.
