Prankster makes fake death calls to Canadian military families

           

            In Montreal a prankster calls military families with news that their loved ones have been killed in Afghanistan. The lack of respect some people seem to have for those serving our country shocks me. Military families should not have to worry about their loved ones when they are fighting on land far away; such actions truly are insensitive and amoral. Families already have enough to worry about with their loved ones risking their lives on land far away, they should not be given such false information because for one it isn’t something to joke about and second of all information regarding the state of their loved ones isn’t entitled for them to distribute. If the one responsible for this despicable act is caught in my opinion he/she should personally apologize to the victims and receive some sort of punishment depending on his/her mental state and age. It makes me sick to hear such actions being addressed towards the families of those protecting our contry and keeping us safe, we need to ensure such actions are not tolerable and will result in some sort of consequence so they are not to be repeated in the near future.
