But They Were Only Fourteen!

Recently a young man was sent back to prison for parole violation. Well that's just great, considering the reason he was in prison in the first place was because he and a friend were bored one day when he was fourteen and decided to kill four people. Now here's the part that just pisses me right off. He did these crimes in 1996. Since then, he was tried, convicted, sentenced, served his time, was paroled, warned multiple times for parole violation, disappeared for 13 months, and was finally re-arrested. All that in only eight years. My question is, in all that, how long was he actually in prison for killing four people? Did this monster somehow deserve a second chance? I am sure this is a great comfort to the dead, and moreso to the family, friends, and relatives of the victims. Another fine example of the Canadian justice system at work.
