And Heke will be locked up for the safety of others. Whether he "rehabilitates" or not is a separate matter.

@Cordite - I have advocated before for outsourcing our "corrections" (I use the title with a massive grain of salt....) to be outsourced to China or Saudi Arabia: people like Heke deserve no less than a first class ticket on their way to such "rehabilitation."
That no one was killed by this ar$eholes actions is a moot point: he has proven that he cannot abide by the social contract, his history has proven this...why take the chance? Chris Cahill wouldn't take the chance on law abiding firearms licence holders - let alone criminals (and has continued to focus on us) - someone with this level of disregard for the law gets what he deserves with no harm to others - so what?
Genuine question by the way - take out the emotive crap with previous Police shootings... what right does a criminal have where a demonstrated disregard for the law and human life has been shown? A dog who attacked someone would be shown less leniency....what's the difference?
