Canadian Murderer Now A Pro-Death "Expert"


There’s no end to the evil that is Robert Latimer. A monster that murdered his disabled daughter, he is increasingly being paraded as some kind of euthanasia expert by the pro-deathers. Sick, just sick.
Robert Latimer gets OK to travel to U.K. for panel talk
Robert Latimer will be allowed to go the United Kingdom to take part in a panel debate on end-of-life issues.
Latimer, who was convicted of second-degree murder in the 1993 death of his severely disabled daughter, Tracy, has been granted permission by the National Parole Board to attend the Oct. 18 discussion, which is being organized by the University of Oxford. more

Canadian Murderer's Lawyer Calls For "Euthanasia Debate"


Ah yes, now the lawyer for monster Robet Latimer (who killed his disabled daughter and is already out of prison) is opining thatCanada needs more euthanasia. Is that, like, counselor, murder???
Latimer’s lawyer urges update of euthanasia law
The details surrounding Stephan Bolton and the death of his wife Barbara Jollimore-Bolton are still unfolding.
But Bolton’s story has, at the very least, reignited the debate over end-of-life care and the ethics and law surrounding euthanasia.
Criminal lawyer Jason Gratl said that Canada’s criminal laws do not reflect the opinions of Canadians on issues of euthanasia or assisted suicide. more

Canadian Father Unrepentant For Killing Disabled Daughter


Canadian Robert Latimer murdered his daughter to "end her suffering." Uh-huh. He's now out of jail and apparently very proud of what he did. What a monster.
Latimer still defends killing daughter
Saskatchewan farmer Robert Latimer stands by his decision to end the life of his severely disabled daughter almost 20 years ago, in his first interview since being released on full parole in December.
In an exclusive interview with Radio-Canada (the CBC's French service), Latimer is unrepentant about killing his daughter Tracy in 1993. He also speaks frankly about his deep anger towards Canada's justice system, and its failings. more

"Compassionate Homicide?" What's Next, "Loving Murder?"


If you’re not familiar with the Canadian child-murderer Robert Latimer, this is quite a good informative piece. In this case, I’ve always been shocked how much attention the killer got, and how his little a 12 year-old daughter with severe disabilities, whom he killed in cold blood, has essentially been ignored. Shame on us.
'Compassionate homicide': The law and Robert Latimer
Robert Latimer, a farmer working a spread in Saskatchewan northwest of Saskatoon, killed his 12-year-old daughter Tracy on October 24, 1993. There has never been any doubt about this.
Latimer told police he did it. He said he loved his daughter and could not bear to watch her suffer from a severe form of cerebral palsy. So he placed her in the cab of his Chevy pickup, ran a hose from the exhaust to the cab, climbed into the box of the truck, sat on a tire and watched her die. more

Yes, There Is An Alternative To Murder Of The Disabled


Finally, some pushback to the coming sainthood of murderer Robert Latimer. It’s about time.
Latimer chose one path, this family chose the other
In the fall of 1993 two families — one on a Saskatchewan farm, the other in downtown Toronto — made life-and-death decisions about their daughters’ futures.
Both girls, one nearly 13 at the time, the other almost 18, had profound developmental disabilities.
In Saskatchewan, Robert Latimer ended his daughter Tracy’s life, later saying in interviews he acted “out of love” to end her suffering.
In Toronto, Christy and Bill Barber were appalled when their daughter Nancy became grievously ill and an intern asked, “Would you like us to do everything we can?” Nancy had developed peritonitis after a procedure to insert a feeding tube and required emergency surgery. more

Canadian Authorities Wag An Ineffectual Finger At Killer Latimer


In a bizarre and utterly serious declaration, the Canada authorities have pontificated, in their eternal wisdom, that monster Robert Latimer (who murdered his disabled daughter – love you know?) shouldn’t be allowed to make any decisions for “significantly disabled people.” Woo-hoo!! That’s really telling him . . .
Latimer banned from caring for disabled as part of his parole
SASKATOON — Robert Latimer is not permitted to make decisions for "significantly disabled people" as it would elevated his risk to reoffend, the National Parole Board has ruled.
Latimer, a farmer from Wilkie, Sask., is expected to return to his family after being granted full parole last week. He was convicted of second-degree murder in 1997 for the 1993 carbon monoxide poisoning death of his daughter, Tracy, 13, who was born with cerebral palsy and lived with severe chronic pain. more

I'm Sick Of Murderer Robert Latimer Being Coddled As Anything Else Than A Monster


What is it with the Canadian press and murderer Robert Latimer? He’s a cold-blooded killer. All this handwringing about his release is about to make me throw up. Really.
A tragic story without end: Latimer case haunts us still
Robert Latimer might be hoping for a quiet life of anonymity when he gets full parole next week, but it's unlikely to happen.
Controversy still swirls around Latimer, the Wilkie-area farmer who spent years in prison for killing his severely disabled daughter in 1993. more

Here We Go Again - Murder Is OK If It's "Merciful"


I’m not sure whether the author of this piece is completely uninformed or is pushing the pro-death agenda. Why? Because it equates the monster Robert Latimer’s murder of his disabled daughter with assisted suicide & euthanasia. These are also killings, to be sure, but to drag murder into it is beyond the pale.
Murder or mercy?
Almost 10 years after he was sent to prison for killing his severely disabled 12-year-old daughter, Robert Latimer will be granted full parole effective December 6, 2010.
As the ongoing debate on the morality of euthanasia and assisted suicide continues, Global News takes a look at other Canadian cases that have made national and international headlines. more

In Canada: Kill Your Disabled Daughter - Home For Christmas


The Canadian legal system shows it’s bias in the Latimer case. Latimer murdered his disabled daughter claiming that he did her a favor. When he came to trial I wasn’t surprised (but many were) that many Canadians thought he did the right thing. He’s been on partial release for a while, and now the monster’s free. Tracey, his dead daughter, is forgotten.
Robert Latimer granted full parole
CALGARY – Robert Latimer, the Saskatchewan wheat farmer who killed his severely disabled daughter, has been granted full parole, his lawyer said Monday. more

The Evil Of Making Murderers Merciful And Their Punishment Injustice


I’ve been around pro-deather lies long enough to not get too steamed by their duplicity, narcissism, macabre death wish, or their propaganda. However, some poor schmuck has written a very sympathetic book about the murderer Robert Larimer, a Canadian who gassed his severely cerebral palsied daughter claiming it was in  her best interest. Frighteningly, many in Canada agreed with him. And here’s a book that makes the Latimers out to be the victims. Justice? Mercy? The Latimers are still alive – Tracy was sniffed out like some throw-away piece of garbage. Excuse me while I leave this post to throw up.
A Story of Justice and Mercy
Robert Latimer is not here. The Saskatchewan farmer jailed by the Supreme Court of Canada for killing his severely disabled daughter is missing from Gary Bauslaugh's Robert Latimer: A Story of Justice and Mercy.
His wife, Laura, is invisible, too.
The facts of their horrible struggle are here, and there are quotes from him and her, culled from public sources. But the couple that captured a nation's emotional attention for so long is not to be found.
Latimer makes it clear he didn't want to share his soul with author Gary Bauslaugh, and who can blame him? And for her part, Laura has fiercely defended the family's privacy for nearly 20 years.
Theirs is a story we all want to hear, but their voices remain muted. more

Ozzy Osbourne's Animus Toward People With Disabilities



If you think that popular culture values people with disabilities, you’ve been asleep or seriously not paying attention.
Read on.
Tracy Latimer was a 13-year old Canadian girl who was significantly impaired by cerebral palsy, in chronic pain, and suffered serious epileptic seizures.
Tracy was murdered by her father, Robert.
He put her in the family car and killed her by carbon monoxide poisoning.
Robert Latimer was convicted of second-degree murder in 1993.
He’s already out on parole.
What was most astounding about the Latimer case was that there was widespread public support for what he had done, showing that many Canadians felt that killing Tracy was justified because of her severe disability.
Fast-forward to this week.
Ozzy Osbourne's new album contains a song about Tracy's murder.
It’s sympathetic to Robert.
From the Vancouver Sun:
The 10th track of Osbourne's solo album entitled Scream, due out June 22, is Latimer's Mercy which describes what Latimer may have felt in putting his daughter to death. The lyrics are poetic yet brutally graphic.
"The sun shines on this deadly new mourning/The church bells ring an early warning/Your eyes shine as I turn on the motor/The tears fall as the mercy gets closer."
"I won't say I know what I'm doing/I won't say I'm sorry/I can't bring you back but I can't leave you helpless/I'll make the pain rest in peace."
This refrain is repeated:
"Another day and another full seizure/Another pill, you spiral down deeper/Another cut by a surgical butcher/It's just a way of prolonging the torture."
Ah, yes, poetic putting-Tracy-out-of-her-misery lyrics.That’s bad enough, and if Osbourne left it at that I suppose he could claim artistic license.
But he didn’t.
He went ahead and told us what he really feels about children with disabilities:
"I don't know if I could do that to my own child but I'm not in that position," Osbourne said.
"To put your child to death is a big decision. I'm not one to go, 'You're wrong, you shouldn't do that,' or 'You did the right thing,' Osbourne said the interview.
"I'm in the middle of the road. I question myself, thinking 'How would I deal with that?' It's a very big decision to make."
This is blatant animus to people with disabilities.
When a public figure openly writes a song applauding the killing people with disabilities, profits from it, and then refuses to strongly condemn said killing, we’re very, very far down the slippery slope into open hostility and increased violence to people with disabilities.
We’d better wake up.
Start by never accessing anything that Osbourne does ever again.
