A just released decision that I’m writing about in the Toronto Sun will make it nearly impossible to hand down adult sentences to young offenders.
Most of the judges ruling on this were appointed by Justin Trudeau, but two of those siding with the majority in the 7-2 ruling were appointed by Stephen Harper including Chief Justice Richard Wagner. The appointment of Wagner to the Supreme Court, later elevated to Chief Justice by Trudeau, may have been Harper’s worst appointment ever.[…]
The language passed by Parliament is pretty clear, if the Crown asks for an adult sentence, the legislation states that the court must be “satisfied” that the two part test to rebut the idea that young offenders have a lower moral culpability has been met. Now, thanks to Wagner and Justice Nicholas Kasirer, who wrote the majority decision, the judge doesn’t just need to be “satisfied” but the Crown must prove their case for an adult sentence “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Yes, you can get convictions on such a standard but saying you need this standard for an adult sentence will effectively make it impossible to meet.
This was a political decision by mostly, but not all, Trudeau court appointees.
Oh well another nail in the coffin that used to be called Canada.
At a glance, I would say, that 14 year old, Kymani Gint belongs in a Zoo.
Or maybe needs an exorcism.
New home in the exorcism zoo.
But no, they’ll put his next victim in jail instead, if they dare to fight back.
Dear Elite Morons, how long do you really think you can keep doing this stuff? Will the grift last another 20 years?
No, the 14-year-old is a straight A student, aiming for a full scholarship at the U of T faculty of medicine, majoring in biomedical research. /s ):
That was my guess, too….
As I read elsewhere, ”It’s not all of them but it’s always them.
I’m curious as to what point the general public living in thee most diverse parts of the centre of the universe (aka Toronto) decide the people responsible for maintaining peace and enforcing the law are being actively limited in their responsibility.
It’s not a matter of if anymore, just waiting for the Ralph Klein adage* to get invoked.
*shoot, shovel, and shut up
You’ll know the joke is over when guys are selling guns out the trunk of their car on Queen Street, as if they were apples, and the cops look the other way.
I wish I was kidding when I say that any list of current or former PMs of Canada should include Bev Mclachlin.
Back in the day her spats with Harper regarding his tough on crime initiatives were a running joke with the media and they loved her for it. Who needs an opposition party when you have Bev?
Anywho…you can be sure we’ll be dealing with Mr.Wint again. The sun rises in the East…sets in the West and Canada’s judiciary hates its citizens.
Constants.
“Anywho…you can be sure we’ll be dealing with Mr.Wint again.”
No kidding. I’m not going to surprised to hear he makes bail.
The word recidivist pops into my head. Yeah, this “youth” will be interdicted … repeatedly.
It appears as though we have a “Third World Man” problem

It might seem petty to hope the next innocent Canadian killed by one of these juvenile animals that belong in maximum lockup are related to a Canuck judge, but nuts to that. They need to savour the agony they are blithely and unconcernedly foisting on rest of us.
Time these judges feel the impact of their disgusting liberal rulings.

Harper’s first mistake was asking for Beverly McLachlin‘s blessing for the candidates he wanted to appoint. The second mistake was not telling her to F*CK RIGHT OFF. So we get Wagner and another Libtard instead of conservative judges.
Meanwhile, Tamara and Chris are off to Ottawa to face the music.
Standing up to government tyranny is a capital criminal offence in the Lieberal Democratic Peoples Republic of Kanada.

This POS should be hung from the rafters.
They’re out there in legions upon legions.
Unless you’re packing, be prepared to avert your eyes or eat lead.
