Officers then learned that the man had robbed and assaulted three people at knifepoint, and possibly stabbed a fourth, all within a short period of time.

All we know for sure is that he can't enter City Hall without getting being buzzed in now. Safety is only a concern for those inside that building.

I’d like to see Canada change the mandate on sentencing . Chronic reoffenders should be at the level that we are seeking punishment as well as rehabilitation. Obviously rehabilitation isn’t working for some time to try something else .

With the number of re-offenders in the Canadian legal (not justice) system, I think it's fair to say that "rehabilitation" is a mostly failed policy.

...Armed Suspect In Multiple Knifepoint Robberies Arrested After Foot Chase

At approximately 11:30 pm on Friday, March 17, multiple people called 911 to report that a man armed with a knife was chasing people downtown. Callers reported that at least one person had been injured. Every available officer responded to the area and the first officer to arrive located the man near the intersection of Yates and Vancouver streets....
Are any of the local media outlets reporting on this?

Too bad he's not dead.
You put a knife to the throat of a total stranger, and demand money?
This guy does, and still does deserve to die. It's unfortunate nobody shot him dead.
