Vancouver’s Three-Strike Law
Our infamous Bacon Brothers are at it again…
In Vancouver, we allow murderers who also have multiple and separate gun and drug charges, the ability to stay out of jail and keep on doing business.
Jarrod Bacon and his brother Jamie are already in the middle of trial involving 10 weapons charges. Jamie and Jarrod Bacon are facing 11 weapons-related counts between them, including possession of prohibited weapons with ammunition, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possessing a firearm with an altered serial number. Jamie Bacon is also charged with one count of drug possession. Jamie is also facing charges in connection with the Surrey Six slayings at the Balmoral Towers in October, 2007.
On Friday, a undercover police operation nabbed Jarrod Bacon and four others, all with ties to rival gangs - the UN and the Red Scorpions.
Why Jarrod Bacon is not in custody is anyone’s guess…
Then we have Sephon Sek, who just beat out 680 other poker players for a grand prize of $364,364. He was arrested by the RCMP in connection to the murders of six people in a Surrey condo bringing the total arrested to 6. Sek is alleged to have given the killers access to the Balmoral Tower without knowing their plans.
The fact that the Vancouver Sun has 150 stories on the Bacon brothers, hasn’t seemed to help put these thugs behind bars.
Maybe we could toughen up our laws a wee bit? Let’s say after 10 charges you must be jailed until trials are complete?
Or would that be too harsh for our soft-on-crime politicians?

It’s sad to say that the powers-that-be in BC are pretty much phoning it in at this point. That and the fact that the Police are voting ‘present’ on most law enforcement issues is something to be very concerned about. What does it take to ‘break the law’ these days?
