Politic?

This is a blog dedicated to a personal interpretation of political news of the day. I attempt to be as knowledgeable as possible before commenting and committing my thoughts to a day's communication.

Barriers

He has been deemed a dangerous offender. A distinction made by the courts to identify those with a history of repeated predatory sexual behaviour, or/and other dangerous-to-society criminal behaviour. Those whose propensity it is through their psychopathy, to committing vile atrocities and violence against others. Those whom the justice system recognizes as unable or unwilling to change their predatory and violent behaviour, who will continue to pose a danger to others if they are discharged from the prison system.

And he is quite annoyed about that designation. So much so that aside from protesting his innocence as charged, claiming that he has been quite misunderstood, and as a result would like to surrender his Canadian citizenship, and be deported back to his native Uganda. He would prefer serving a sentence there or in Kenya, thank you very much. There his crimes would be far better understood. In cultures where violence against women is presumably taken far less seriously.

His wishes and desires do not appear to be gaining much in influencing decisions about his future, since Immigration Canada has turned down his request. More's the pity, in a sense. Johnson Aziga, once a mid-level federal bureaucrat, is now simply a disgraced sexual predator. He was charged and convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, ten counts of aggravated sexual assault, and one of attempted aggravated sexual assault.

Diagnosed with HIV in 1996, he never once revealed to the women with whom he established long-term relationships the simple matter of his medical condition. As a result of which two women who trusted him died after contracting the malady. Five others became infected with the virus. He is a living, breathing, threat to women, a ticking time bomb who, if released from custody would simply continue.

"I had no intentions to deliberately pass my HIV to anyone ... I did not disclose my HIV because of ... barriers. Barriers arising from my religion ... taboo ... arising from the way I was brought up. I did not disclose my HIV because I did not have the tools." His argument does not appear to have impressed Ontario Justice Thomas Lofchik who determined that Aziga "represents a gamble on the safety of the women in this community."

His sentence will serve as a caution to others who have no care or concern for the welfare of those with whom they consort.
