Canada's Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether prison inmates should be allowed to carry weapons. Inmate Jason Kerr,
26, argued that he had a right to carry a knife in prison because all the other inmates carried weapons. His knife came to light when another inmate attacked him and Kerr stabbed him to death. Court of Queen's Bench Justice Terry Clackson allowed Kerr's argument, ruling "it would seem that Mr. Kerr had his weapons, much like the world superpowers have their weapons, to deter first strike and defend against it should it become necessary." The Alberta Court of Appeal overturned, with Justice Ron Berger ruling such reasoning "is a recipe for anarchy within a prison setting." (Edmonton Sun) ...Which is exactly what the prisoners want.
