UPDATE: Young Offenders Act kicks in

So I have to censor this murderer's name and picture.
The teen, who can no longer be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, turned himself in early Friday morning.

Just over 12 hours earlier, Toronto police Homicide Det. Graham Gibson had released the youth's name and photo, after getting a judge's order to do so.

I don't get it... why is the Liberal Party opposed to cracking down on the "worst of the worst" violent young offenders?
Police are hunting for a 14-year-old boy, wanted in the shooting of Kemar Long-Thompson who was killed in the city's far east end Sunday while attending a birthday party for his 16-year-old cousin.

In a move reserved for the most serious of crimes, homicide officers were granted judicial authorization to identify Xxxxx "Xxxxx" Xxxxxxx for five days in order to seek help from the public, Det. Graham Gibson said at a press conference at police headquarters this afternoon.
BACKGROUND: The murder of Kemar Long-Thompson.

This is precisely the type of offender the Conservatives proposed legislation is set to target... murderers and violent thugs who slip through under the current insanely ineffectual Young offenders Act.

Why are Stephane Dion and the Liberals so opposed?

RELATED: Remember Jane Creba?
Richard Steele pleaded guilty in an Old City Hall courtroom to being a gun runner and drug trafficker. He was arrested seven months ago during a Toronto police raid dubbed 'Project Green Apple.'
LAST WORD: Dug up by Kathy Shaidle
