1. 11,999 ?

2. “Relatively modest” collection? Compared to what? The collection the judge has?

   1. Perhaps it’s relatively modest compared to Justin Trudeau’s?

      1. I think we can safely say that in the Canadian courts, the legally permissible amount of CP (one hesitates to write it in full) will be defined as the exact amount that Justin Trudeau has in his possession.

   2. In all truth, I’m sure 12,000 -is- relatively modest.

      The notion gives one pause, does it not?

   3. Accused shared the collection with the failed lawyer presiding over the case.

3. Judge Andrew Tam gave the gay B.C. Man 2 years less a day, but no incarceration.
   Judge Dannielle Dunn gave the repeat offender with the large collection 1 year, plus 3 years probation.

   Maybe the RCMP can take a look at the computers of these 2 judges… or just wait for the US government to do it.

   1. I agree, there has to be some reason for the velvet glove treatment?

   2. Your first few words explain everything.

4. While I do acknowledge there is a difference between making it and merely having it, I think “relatively modest” is not what I want to hear out of a judge about 12,000 images of children suffering.

   And no jail time? The point is to deter the behavior, not excuse it.

   That said, I could wish for the authorities to go after the people who make and sell this very much harder. There are few crimes worse. It is difficult to think of a punishment to fit such deeds.

5. In the past I have tried to explain how relativism poisons an argument and have gotten nowhere.
   The other side counters with “why do you refuse to negotiate?” … when I mention I’m a bit of a fire starter and would like to burn their house down, they never settle for me being permitted to burn down “just the kitchen” … I suppose Antonin Scalia said it better with, “the constitution says what it says, and it doesn’t say what it doesn’t say”

   So, is 11,999 the accepted standard? and do the affected kids and their parents get to vote on this? I’m not suggesting being able to read out a “crime victim’s statement” in court. I mean do they get to burn down the perp’s kitchen? Not the entire house, just the part where everyone ends up at the tail end of the good parties.

6. Relatively modest number of body parts in the freezer…
