Pass the... "don't give a stale dogcrap"
Thank you, once again, professional journalists...
"The incident has raised staff fears that Col. Williams won't survive until his next court appearance, on April 29." --Yeah, as if... I happen to know a few folks who work in the, uh... "corrections industry"... and trust me... nobody's losin' a whole lotta sleep over this pathetic freak trying to off himself.

Too bad.
Neo, I know a few people who work in this field as well, and I tell you, even though they care nothing for this piece of excrement, I suspect that the staff's fears revolve around not wanting to be the one on duty if a suicide should occur in such a high profile case. A coroner's inquest is NOT fun.
The looser can't even comit suicide properly. Heard on the news this morning he tried to off himself by trying to choke on tinfoil and cardboard ??!!

"michael says... A coroner's inquest is NOT fun."
yup... that'd be what i'd be fearing. but note - the msm just goes with hackneyed cliche... instead of actual information or anybody's honest-to-gawd feelings here
as for inquests... another buddy of mine is a medic III in toronto... he's been to a few of these dog & pony shows... where it's usually more about the politics than searching out any sort of truth.
smoke & fogged over mirrors.

Isn't it somehow fitting,that this jerk tried to 'off' himself with a toilet paper roll? Hmmm,I know there's a joke in there somewhere.
BTW,do you notice that both ctv/cbc always manage to show this "alleged" killer with Peter McKay?

as kate would say... "journalists... our moral & intellectual superiors."

Isn't that what makes the story more "newsworthy"? How many accused serial-rapist-killers are photographed next to government ministers?

"anon1152 asks... Isn't that what makes the story more newsworthy'?"
hmmm... let's follow that line of reasoning.
colonel williams also attended upper canada college.
when exactly will count floyd, or peter mansbridge get around to asking michael ignatieff about his fellow alumnus?
and that's not a rhetorical question.

Given the age difference, I doubt Ignatieff and Williams crossed paths. Though perhaps they did later in life. If someone has the pictures, I'm sure* the various news organizations would be happy to show them.
*OK. I'm not sure. Lets say, "I hope."

"anon1152 says... I doubt Ignatieff and Williams crossed paths."
what's your point?
ctv ran another 3 separate video clips of williams with mackay on the 11 o'clock news tonight.
this isn't jason cherniak kissing his favourite politician's butt... it's an organisation that is supposed to be objectively presenting the news.
it's a nightly diaper-load of sensational partisan bullshit.
you like being manipulated? wake up and smell the b.s., my friend.

"what's your point?

- My point is that similar video clips do not exist with Ignatieff, or if the do, they have not been shown yet, and I suspect that they do not exist. (Though I would love to be proven wrong). (Seriously).
To say that Ignatieff went to a school that Williams went to decades ago, decades apart, is not particularly "newsworthy". Not as newsworthy as the guy hanging around with and/or flying around Peter McKay, Michaele Jean, Harper, etc.
THAT is something I would call newsworthy. And if (as anyone who apparently has known him over the last few years has said) everyone says "wow, I thought he was great, I never expected that" then it's even more newsworthy. And no there's no need for anyone to be ashamed of thinking that.
If YOU want to associate him with Ignatieff, and you want that association to mean more than his association with Kevin Bacon, similar pictures are called for.

"anon 1152 says... hanging around with and/or flying around Peter McKay, Michaele Jean, Harper, etc."
sorry... peter mackay has absolutely nothing to do with sexual assault, or serial murder.
the repeated airing (think tv commercials) of these images adds zero to the actual narrative. it implies a connection that simply does not exist.
this is crude propaganda, nothing more... but, hey... enjoy your kool-ade.
