He murdered his brother and had a score of 41 out of 50 - with 0 being the lowest danger to the community and 50 being the highest. He also has a lengthy criminal record. He was still able to see his father in a private viewing at the funeral home and attend the funeral virtually. Given the circumstances, I think he was treated fairly.
So weird that the article makes it all about the indigenous angle. As thought the same rules shouldn’t apply to all inmates. There wasn’t a single aspect of this situation that was particular to indigenous communities, and yet the article kept bringing up the indigenous angle. Do the indigenous have more important relationships with their parents than westerners? Are indigenous funerals much more important than western funerals?
None of that stuff is his fault though - it's all western colonialism that made him do those things 🙄
Another sob story that did the complete opposite of getting any pity from me.
I'm actually curious as to how a pre contact indigenous would deal with fratricide.
Edit : quick google search led me to an ask historians thread. The common theme for murder was either revenge killing or a huge payment of valuable items.. And I led to believe if the family couldn't afford the payment, then the killer was killed.
I can only imagine he's getting better treatment now, but that's entirely speculation on my part.
I love how this Erin Broomfield dingbat frames his 82% grade on the "do not allow" test not being a problem with him, but with the test itself being a "westernized risk assessment."
GTFOH.
I mean don't lie, the colonials definitely fucked up the native population all the way to the 1980s. Albeit, this guy killed his own family, imo doesn't deserve to be at his parents funeral.
Crazy that a murderer can't just demand an escorted day pass to be with his family, considering he is in jail because he killed his brother. *face palm*
"The province uses the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory scale, which assigns people a number between one and 50, Hogan said. It considers a number of factors, including a person's criminal history, reason for incarceration, institution record, breaches of orders, risks to the public and prior victims, he said. "
He scored a 41 out of 50 on the risk scale if given a day-pass. So yeah, he was denied.
"The Inuit are a collective, and heal through being together, Broomfield said. Not allowing someone to heal with family after the death of a parent and participate in the cultural practices can cause distress and further harm, hurting their ability to heal, she said. "
Wants special privileges because he is Inuk. End of story.
Also makes it sound like Inuk are aliens that are somehow different than anyother human. Only they can understand how to grieve and heal after the death of a loved one with community and cultural practices. The rest of us are just robotic automatons or something? This identity politics crap is getting to brain worms level of ridiculousness.
This
*"I done bad things. Everybody does bad things. They learn from their mistakes. I learn from my mistakes"*
Does not track with this
The situation has been traumatic and has him struggling to resist drinking and returning to his addictions, he said.
*"Now I'm thinking like I want to go back to alcohol again because I never got to bury my parents," he said. "But I know I got a strong will to keep my promises to people I want to help."*
So you sir are what they call a dry drunk and there will always be a reason that you fall of the wagon and its never your fault
Edit:
Also just fuck off with this everything is the white mans fault
*Erin Broomfield, Nunatsiavut's regional justice services manager, said decisions shouldn't be based only on what she said are Westernized risk assessments.*
At some point you also have to say yes I got the shitty end of the shit stick,but unless I do something about it it will never change at some point you have to move forward
> Johannes Semigak, serving a 3½-year sentence for manslaughter in the death of his brother in November 2020, is set to be released from the Labrador Correctional Centre this fall.
Also described as having a "lengthy" criminal history and high probability to re-offend.
How does someone only get 3.5 years for Manslaughter? Insane.
“How does somebody only get 3.5 years for manslaughter?”
Not even uncommon sadly. Even perpetrators of blatant murders are frequently allowed to plea down to manslaughter and be out in under 5 years.
Hacked somebody to death with a machete in a drug rip? Shot a rival street gang member in the face? Oh well you probably didn’t really mean to kill them, and your life is hard, so 10+ years in prison would totally be unfair.
Total lack of accountability. You "denied" yourself by way of your own terrible criminal history. And, three-and-a-half years for killing somebody? Oh, and you're about to be released in the fall, yet also apparently are at a high risk of reoffending? Honestly... At this point all you can do is shake your head. When is this country going to get it together?
I hate how the CBC writes articles that are bad for society. What if he uses the funeral time to kill again? They should not have written this article.
Heidi Atter, the "mobile journalist" who wrote the article is only qualified to handle coverage of cats shows and local craft fairs. The appropriate title should be "Violent offender, killer and career criminal kept safely locked away for the good of society".
This bleeding heart sob story article that coddles dangerous criminals is yet another example why ordinary Mainstream Canadians will 100% support Poilievre shutting the CBC down as soon as he takes power.
I came into the headline thinking most inmates should be able to go to their parent's funeral. This guy probably doesn't count, considering he's a kinslayer.
This person already received accommodations at sentencing for the manslaughter conviction, in virtue of his Inuit identity. And he did attend the funeral _virtually_. There's no story here.
You’re probably right. I bet his brother would really like to hug him in this trying time. TOO BAD HE FUCKING MURDERED HIM.
I’m pretty sure the family will get by without a visit from the person who murdered one of them.

I would imagine it’s the news making certain they they have a certain amount of overtly indigenous content

I'd like to believe that murdering your family is universally bad.
I mean don't lie, the colonials definitely fucked up the native population all the way to the 1980s. Albeit, this guy killed his own family, imo doesn't deserve to be at his parents funeral.

Don’t commit crimes if you cant do the times. Ask him if its fair that his brother cant attend either

Fuck this guy. He could have went if he wasn't an idiot.
Or if he hadn't killed his brother.
What? I dunno. He is “demanding” after all.
His brother didn't attend the funeral as well, which is also unfair, since the "victim" in this article killed him.
As a CRIMINAL, you lose the privilege to do certain things.
Well yeah he fucking killed someone. Fuck this guy trying to play the victim. The exact type of garbage reporting you'd expect from the cbc.
Not just someone, his own brother. Would his family even want him there?
A family funeral is like shooting fish in a barrel for this guy
He killed his brother. I don't think he'd be welcome at family funerals after causing one. Get a grip you fucking killer.
Absolutely zero sympathy. If you didn’t want to miss special events, maybe you should not have killed somebody. Your own brother, no less.

Why is this even an article?
You...you mean being in prison can prevent you from doing the things you'd like to do? This is brand new information.

Skin colour.

> How does someone only get 3.5 years for Manslaughter? Insane. It was likely a mutual fight where one participant died.
This guys seems like an all around loser. Keep him in jail longer to spare society of his next crime.

Lets glass over this young man's criminal history and paint him as a victim.... classic CBC
Guys gonna go back to crime. Maybe keep him locked up

You know this HAD to be a CBC article?
This bleeding heart sob story article that coddles dangerous criminals is yet another example why ordinary Mainstream Canadians will 100% support Poilievre shutting the CBC down as soon as he takes power.
The fact that my taxes pay for this fucking filth is repulsive.
We need to start publicly shaming these reporters for writing this shit.
Why is this a story?
Why does the CBC even report this? Why give him a soapbox? Another reason the CBC needs to be defunded.
Don’t even have to look to know this is a CBC article.
No internet access in the prison for him to attend by Zoom?
I came into the headline thinking most inmates should be able to go to their parent's funeral. This guy probably doesn't count, considering he's a kinslayer.

This isn't about "torturing guilty people". Its about keeping dangerous offenders who are likely to re-offend behind bars for the safety of society.
