This story is just rocking Canada right now... :-(

Army officials suggested this process would take a month - it all happened today:

Russell Williams, the shamed former commander of CFB Trenton, has been stripped of his rank and booted from the military following his conviction in two murders, two sex assaults and dozens of sex-related break-ins.

Williams, who once held the rank of colonel, will serve out his life sentences as a civilian after his military commission was officially revoked Friday afternoon.

In jail yesterday, booted from the military today. DONE!

Now he can be alone 23 hours a day for the rest of his life.

But he might befriend a little mouse

I haven't seen or read anything in Williams' case where people wrote or said 'that didn't add up'. Everyone - wife, neighbours, military - all seem to have been totally caught off guard.

Only when Williams was presented with facts during interrogation - very expertly and gradually by Smyth, a top interrogator - did he finally crack and admit what had happened. That took over 4 hours.

Good grief, catty, give it a rest would you?

It is Kathy not catty. And go ahead Kathy say what you want when you want too. Don't give it a rest. This guy is the jerk of jerks & murdered two women. I guess that doesn't count?

[Catty1]

Bonny, my PT name is Catty1. My real name is nowhere near Kathy (though it is a nice name! ). Catholic had it right.

Fine by me Catty 1. I use to think Cataholic was Catholic & a ripe sorten true Catholic. Go Figure! The print needs to really be A LOT BIGGER all of the time.

I'm with you on this one. I keep wondering why is all of this reprinted when everyone has already read it in every newspaper around. For months the media has been playing this over and over and the papers have published and republished the details.
If anyone is interested in thrillers they are sold in every corner store, bookstore or newstand around. Your local library has tons of them also....

Nobody is doubting that it has been played back and forth in the newspapers.
The point is.....it has been posted here for discussion, and if one wishes to discuss, then they will read the original post and follow the discussion accordingly.
If one wishes NOT to discuss, or if they have no original interest in the matter, then why on earth would they post something like "Oh give it a rest Catty" ??? Seems to me that some people just agree to disagree.

"If anyone is interested in thrillers they are sold in every corner store, bookstore or newstand around. Your local library has tons of them also.."

True. But for the time being, I'm more interested in this particular thread. I have no need to buy a thriller....it's all about choice....isn't it ???

[Bonny]

I agree with you Wombat. In Canada it has been their main news. I just heard about it last week & was shocked. You look up to someone in that high ranking position & go why? A person wants to know WHY?

They have the brains of deceased serial killers preserved to study what defects if any may have caused them to kill their own kind.

This man had everything going for him. He seemed to have it all, power & respect. Was it to much for him to handle that it set him off in the wrong direction? He had a set pattern, was it the danger & intrigue? Maybe he was bored with life? Could it all have been prevented? Could he have received help before it all got out of control? A sad case of affairs for everyone.

It might be news to those who aren't in Canada or the U.S I guess. As for being more interesting in this thread, not for me. Yes, it is a matter of choice but I prefer to stop dwelling on other people's misery. I have plenty of that right before my very eyes when I see battered kids.
Maybe I'm just wondering of how this man's wife must feel at the moment, actually I don't have to wonder I already know the answer to that one. Might be why Cataholic prefers to give it a rest also, some of us just don't get off on other people's hardships.
We can hash and rehash the story for years but no one will ever know the real story or facts.
