text: A sad state of affairs repeated too many times in Iraq, Europe, the USA ... and there was an attack yesterday in Edmonton, Alberta's capital.  While the politicians rush to make statements about being 'shocked, but we stand together', it is time to review why it must seem so easy to commit these crimes in western nations where the rights of the 'alleged' attacker are paramount to the application of laws.  Do such attackers find the legal system weighted so much toward their 'rights', plus opportunities for media coverage, that it has become a 'sport'?  If any of these people do intend to become a 'martyr' for their cause, then they are NOT worrying about 'the law'.  How can such people be vetted, no matter where their radicalization occurred? There has to be a more appropriate penalty for disrupting and/or destroying innocent lives. Politicians need to be MUCH clearer about values that unite and underpin the fabric of THIS society. There are beliefs that cannot be accommodated here.
