Gov.-Gen. strips convicted murderer Russell Williams of his rank

Recap:

This article discusses how the Governor General earlier this week stripped Russell Williams of his rank. The article talks about how awful the things he did were and how his punishments and consequences were decided. Russell Williams was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for at least 25 years. He was charged for two first degree murders and two sexual assault accusations. He also pleaded guilty to 82 charges of break-ins or attempted break-ins. He would break into houses and steal women's underwear. It also discusses his pay and consequences that will come from this. His pension is one aspect of is life that the Canadian government cannot take away. It is a very interesting article.

Opinion:

This was an interesting story from the get-go. I was not surprised to hear that governor general stripped Russell Williams of his rank because he did some awful things. He pleaded guilty to all charges against him and I thought this was honourable of him because he didn't go to jail because a jury ordered him but because he decided that he had to plead guilty because he had done awful things in his life. He did some awful things and I think every consequence he receives is reasonable.
