The Canadian Terrorist Asked To Be Sent To Prison.

[Rikurzhen]

Oh boy:

The man who shot and killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial and was gunned down himself on Parliament Hill Wednesday morning told a B.C. judge almost three years ago that he was homeless and that he wanted to go to jail so he could change his ways.

Montreal-born Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, lived in B.C. in recent years, and was charged with robbery and uttering threats. CBC News obtained an audio recording of Zehaf-Bibeau's court appearance in Vancouver in December 2011 on the charges, where the man pleaded with the judge to allow him to serve time.

"Yeah, I confessed to an armed robbery 10 years ago. I wanted to come to jail so I could clean up," he said.

"I went to see the RCMP, I told them, 'just put me in so I could do my time for what I confessed.' They couldn't. So, I warned them, 'if you can't keep me in, I'm going to do something right now just to be put in.' So I went to do another robbery just so I could come to jail," Zehaf-Bibeau said.

"I'm a crack addict and at the same time I'm a religious person, so I want to sacrifice freedom and good things for a year maybe, so when I come out, I'll appreciate the things of life more and be clean," Zehaf-Bibeau said.

The prosecutor told the judge Zehaf-Bibeau had been sentenced to two years for the robbery in Quebec, and that he shouldn't be sent to jail just because he wants to go. The prosecutor asked the judge to release Zehaf-Bibeau.

"I don't want to be released," Zehaf-Bibeau said. "The reason I am here is because I wanted to come in. The police said they couldn't keep me, so I went to do a crime to come to jail. So if you release me what's going to happen again? Probably the same loop and I'm going to be right back here again."

The judge agreed to detain him over Christmas.

"Perfect," Zehaf-Bibeau said.

Almost two months later, in Feb. 2012, Zehaf-Bibeau was back in court on the B.C. robbery charge. His lawyer said he wasn't guilty, but would plead guilty to one count of uttering threats. The circumstances of the case were a little odd, the lawyer told the judge.

The story that came out in court was that Zehaf-Bibeau had walked into the Burnaby RCMP detachment on Dec. 15, 2011, at around 9 p.m. and asked to speak with police about an armed robbery he committed 10 years earlier, for which he wasn't punished, but now wanted to be.

An officer tried to help him, but couldn't find any record and refused to arrest him. Zehaf-Bibeau was detained under the Mental Health Act, but was released when it was determined he was neither ill nor intoxicated. He told police he was homeless and wanted to go to jail.

A few hours later, at 1:45 a.m. on Dec. 16, Zehaf-Bibeau went into a McDonald's restaurant in Vancouver, showed a sharpened stick to the clerk and asked for the money in the till. The McDonald's employee initially thought it was joke, as Zehaf-Bibeau was grinning.

Zehaf-Bibeau then reportedly said, "Yes, hand over the money, homeboy."

Police came and arrested him, and he appeared to be happy. Zehaf-Bibeau's lawyer told the judge that Zehaf-Bibeau felt he had an undiagnosed mood disorder, but the court psychiatrist disagreed.

Zehaf-Bibeau had spent 66 days in custody, and the judge sentenced him to one day more.

Zehaf-Bibeau said he has no income to pay a $100 victim impact surcharge, and the judge gave him until end of August 2012 to pay the fine.

"Good luck to you sir," the judge said.

It's not the government's job to "change his ways", or to support him while he changes them.

Why didn't he go to a church or a charity? There are lots of both around, both in Canada and in the U.S. They do a lot of that kind of thing.

Don't tell me he was too dumb to know that such churches and charities exist. That won't fly.

He sounds like just another worthless drifter trying to get others to support him. If he'd been serious about "changing his ways", there are lots of ways to do it, that don't involve robbing a McDonalds. Or even murdering a police officer.

The very best way to change your ways is to change your ways.

I was a "falling down drunk" from my mid-teens to my mid-twenties. When it became clear that I needed to change I started going to AA and I quit drinking. End of story.

He was a junkie, and his father had been a Muslim fighter in Libya. So this forced him to join Isil? His parents were losers. So were Obama's and so were Clinton's. Look where they ended up.

His mother is the Deputy-Chairman of the Canadian Refugee Board. She's likely much like Obama's mother - has a thing for 3rd World men.

Out of all the recent incursions at the white house humans have been completely useless. The only special agents that stopped an intruder were two canine agents. They are smarter, stronger and faster. So what do we have human agents for anyway. Turn the whole agency over to the dogs.

If you think about it a border collie would be a better president than the dunce we have. A good border collie would certainly be more organized, work harder and make better decisions.

Interesting. Thanks be to the dogs! I assume that if a person kicks or punches or otherwise harms a dog that is performing a duty for the federal government, that charges of assaulting a federal officer would be forthcoming.

And they were so close he hadn't talked to her in a decade?

I assume that you quoted my post accidentally.
