Career criminal Tracy Lloyd Caza must be laughing at the justice system while the rest of us are hanging our heads or raising our fists.

With 78 convictions notched on his belt he continues to whip us all. Labeled 'a high risk to re-offend' Caza lived up to his designation by re-offending soon after release from prison in December. Despite arrest and charges of sexual assault, assault and uttering threats against a female, Mr. Caza was released on bail the following day; not even a full two weeks into January. Unaffected, he was later found in possession of drugs which, of course, is a breach of conditions.

How can there be anyone left in this Province of British Columbia that can say, the system is working! Really?  Certainly not in this case. Given the length of Caza's record it is safe to say it has been broken for some time. This a joke that anyone could repeatedly break the law and still be released into our communities. What does it take for our Government to see the need for an overhaul of this laughable system.

By now, everyone is focused on the conviction numbers associated with this man's despicable life but there are victims whose singular experience with him changed how they live. A string of stories that chronicle the impact this lowest form of human has had on our society. He doesn't even have a preference for his criminal activity, he breaks all the laws, drug possession, theft, assault, sexual assault and a host of other acts dating back to 1977.

People across this country are looking for help from the powers that be. Whether it is through Federal crime bills like c-10 or Provincial clout that will take cases like this one and blow it wide open. We want action! There are more questions than answers that need to be addressed from the parole board through to judges and crown counsel. Who is protecting us from people like this? The police can't just hand out a warning to the media without clear information that warrants such a measure. Though, they tried, it is impossible to keep guys like Caza from claiming his next victim.

The only place, angry but law abiding citizens should be in order to defend our rights, is occupying our court rooms. Taking up the challenge to keep a spotlight on cases such as this. Mr. Caza may hold some uniqueness in his convictions but he is certainly not the only criminal to be perpetually enjoying the revolving door of our courts and prisons. If the general public had a chance to see the files of many who pass in and out of our system they would most likely be stunned by how many charges were dropped not because the person didn't commit the crimes but because our justice system is either too slow to convict or too quick to simplify the counts against.

We are weak and though we will momentarily rise up to address Caza he will prove only one of many who laugh as they leave our courts or prisons. We are all just one moment away from living amidst the likes of Tracy Lloyd Caza.
