"Reads like a page out of grade school bullying -- authorities do little to stop the actual bully, but as soon as one of the victims strikes back in self defence, he's the one in trouble!"And this thing just keeps on getting better.

Mr. Bennett is the 52-year-old career criminal – 43 convictions for offences as varied as theft (his specialty), fraud, trafficking and uttering a death threat spread over more than 30 years.And hey... it's just not his fault... he has a disability...

"The layabout and the crook injures the self-reliant and hardworking … and then the 'system' sides with the layabout. That’s what has everyone so angry."
