Weird it may be but I despise both Norm Rumack and John Derringer for the same reason, their shtick was based on cruelty.
I have a tough time believing that Rumack made three suicide attempts and failed. One suicide failure and you become a ward of the State. He would have been placed in a sanatorium and loaded up with mood altering drugs. Once you convinced the Province that you are of no harm to one's self, you still have to report to CAMH for a year. By failing a suicide attempt, you have an open file with the Ministry of Health, upon discretion of CAMH.
At least our mental health regime is more humane than the American system.
