Kenneth Law, of Ontario, Canada, was charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder for doing something that’s perfectly legal in Canada, “assisting” suicidal people in killing themselves.
Apparently, it’s only legal to “help” people kill themselves when it’s a state-approved murderer doing the work. Law looked for people online who seemed to be suicidal and then mailed them poison to end their lives. At least 14 people followed through, using his mailed poison to do so.

A Canadian man accused of sending poison to hundreds of people at risk of self-harm has been charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder.
Kenneth Law had previously been charged with 14 counts of counselling or aiding suicide over the deaths of young people across the province of Ontario.
Police said the 58-year-old posted around 160 packages of a poisonous substance to people in Canada – along with at least 1,200 packages to addresses in more than 40 countries.
“It’s clearly significant… to be laying this many [charges] and that’s not taken lightly by the investigative team,” Inspector Simon James of the police force in York, a northern district of Toronto, told a news conference.
