HUMAN RIGHTS AND CRIMINAL RIGHTS
By
James Bredin

Is there a point where human rights and criminal rights meet?
Is it at their injection sites, their needle exchange sites or the street?
Is it in the court house where soft-on-crime decisions are made?
How can we get away from their judicial masquerade?

What caused this: a federal, provincial or a UN Act?
Amnesty International agency or a Supreme Court fact?
Do criminals have more Charter rights and have we lost our way?
Why have all court decisions gone soft and our feet stuck in clay?

Do we need binding referendums just to get back on track?
Or should we consult with a heroin addict doing crack?
Are we so afraid we might discriminate that we can't think?
Did that criminal just get off with a wink, to see his shrink?
