RIP Doug Christie

[LollerBrader]

This article is more balanced than I'd expect, considering the source, and the topic.

:dunno: Never heard of.

But the guy who murdered Pierre Laporte died today as well.

That would be a more significant level of infamy. The FLQ October Crisis was the only time that Canada ever used the War Measures Act, outside of WWI and WWII.

But don't get me wrong, lawyers are still pretty evil. Hate speech? Oh Plueeze, I can get hate speech just by talking to Rob Anders.

Did anyone else assume this was about Doug Christie the former Toronto Raptor and was like :confused: :confused: :confused: then saw it was about some dude that no body knows about lol

Mr Christie, you make good crackers.

Ever wonder how a lawyer will be remembered in the obituaries?

They won't. They won't be hailed or reviled, they won't be remembered at all, other than self serving. The bankers will be reviled, and the singers hailed. The astronauts may someday be turned from heroes of the day to zeroes in passing.

There is no lawyer legacy (realists viewpoint)

Amen.
