Have A Heart

November 5, 2007 @ 10:02

Here we go again. We're supposed to feel bad for another one of those wonderful sons and fathers who just happened to have a wrap sheet longer than your arm.

In 1992 O'Neil Grant was deported from Canada to Jamaica for assault with a weapon and possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.

He appealed in 1993 and it was stayed for five years. But during the time he was charged as an accomplice in Vivi Leimonis murder at Just Desserts in Yorkville in 1994.

He was acquitted in the Just Desserts case, more on a technicality than anything else, but was deported anyway because he failed to follow the rules regarding his initial deportation order.

Anyway, to make a long story short, Grant was murdered in Jamaica last week at a bus station. Police believe he was targeted.

Now his mother, wife and three children who live here, want his body returned to his "beloved" Canada so he can be buried, but there's some question of the legality of it, and who will pay for it.

If you listen to Grant's wife and mother he's nothing more than a victim who loved Canada and loved his three children, but that tends to fall on deaf ears now-a-days because we get the same story about every thug who ends up dead.

They were actually wonderful people who were in the process of turning their lives around and they had plans to become a nuclear physicist, a brain surgeon or an astronaut.

There are those who maintain we should follow the rule of the law. If there are no provisions for a "deported" body to return to Canada then it should not be allowed.

But in this case, I feel a bit of compassion. I say let the guy return.

It's not like we have to worry about him committing any more crimes.

Sure, why not? Who's paying?

Follow the law. This man never contributed anything positive to his 'beloved' Canada.

This worthless piece of dog crap's name shouldn't even be allowed in Canada. The swirling cesspool inside of the sewage treatment plant is too good for this guy.

He's dead. Assuming his family did nothing wrong let them bury him. It's not about him. He's dead. Like Bela Lugosi. Dead. You don't need to punish him family, he already did that by being a criminal.

You are so right we should not be offering a Bienvenue! We hear over and over about these thugs that they are always "such a Good Guy". Then when you take a closer look you can't help but be amazing that they are not locked up for life but rather are free to walk the streets and violently mix with truly innocent people. What they and theirs need to notice that the general population are not killing eachother only being killed by these "Good Guys". I'm guessing that is because the rest of us are not "Good Guys"??!! ~ May he rest in peace right where he is.

And hey Jason, sadly you already knew the answer to the question before you asked it.

I disagree with you on this one, Fred. It doesn't sound like he was getting his life back together in Jamaica. He was gunned down for a reason, and we should remember that. How typical that we should read about this in the star.

Have any of you people ever met O'Neil? Probably not. Have any of you oh so informed big mouths ever been to Jamaica? I'm going to assume NOT. How dare you fuckers open your disrespectful mouths to utter anything about shit you don't know about. Ever hear about respecting the dead? You don't have to have any GOOD feelings about O'neil, but you should have at least a little respect for his family by not saying shit about someone you've never met. I like how you can all judge someone you've never met and call them thugs. How many thugs do you know? I don't see anyone searching for the truth, just shooting off their mouths.

Hey Anon,

I thought the news coverage on his history was enough to know the thug. I use the term thug because that's what he was. As for being to Jamaica before yes I have been once a descision I still regret to this day because the crime there is unbearable. There was a reason that piece of trash was deported back to Jamaica, because all that followed him was crime. In the end some of us get our just deserts, oh lol that's a pun on the shooting he was involved in too.

Hey Anon.. you've got to be fucking kidding. Did I know O'Neil, no I didn't and I wouldn't want to associate with a the slimy bastard. He was a drug dealing low life criminal who got off on a technicality.
Good riddance!

"How dare you fuckers open your disrespectful mouths to utter anything about shit you don't know about"

Yeah? You know this piece of shit? Where do you get off sticking up for the likes of this asshat?

Save your sympathy for the victims of his crew..if you feel so bad, why don't you send a fiver or three to his family for his worm box?

Well men and women, Lohan has returned to her good old ways….She admitted to not passing a court-ordered narcotic test a week ago. She tweeted the following: “This was certainly a setback for me yet I'm taking responsibility for my behavior and I’m happy to face the consequences.” Hence, maybe simply putting her in prison for a couple weeks and rehabilitation for even less wasn’t the best idea!

Well everyone, Lohan has returned to her well-established ways….Lindsay Lohan admitted to failing a court-ordered drugs test last week. She tweeted the next: “This was certainly a setback for me personally however , I will be taking responsibility for my behaviour and I’m happy to face the consequences.” Thus, maybe merely putting her in prison for two weeks and treatment for even less was not the optimal idea!
