Ontario … Special rules for sentencing black offenders …

Only lawyers could come up with this shit !!! … Aided , of course by all the lawyers that end up as ‘ politicians ‘…

What was set to be a simple appeal of a sentence for possession of a loaded handgun has burgeoned into a major push for judges to acutely focus on systemic racism against visible minorities when passing sentence , similar to special rules in place for Aboriginal offenders.

Eleven prominent human rights , legal and ethnic organizations have been granted special status in the government’s appeal of a “ lenient ” sentence of a black man in Toronto last year.

“ As a general rule , interventions in criminal proceedings should be granted sparingly ” Ontario’s Chief Justice George Strathy wrote in a brief ruling on interveners released Tuesday.

“ But the issues that arise in this appeal transcend the interests of the parties and are of significance to the administration of criminal justice. The proposed interveners are well-recognized organizations with experience and expertise in the issues raised in this appeal. They can offer perspectives that are different from those provided by the Crown and the respondent.”

Oh I see … ‘ They ‘ are all Humber College Psych Grads and ‘ know ‘ SOOooo much more than the riff raff ‘ blue collar ‘ payer of taxes …

The appeal stems from the sentencing of Kevin Morris , who was caught with a loaded handgun after fleeing police in 2014 in Toronto …

Well of course he’s gonna have a loaded handgun !!! … And of course he’s going to ‘ flee the police ‘ ! … It’s the fault of way a bunch of dead peolpe treayed his great great granpappy dontchaknow !!! …

Last September , after a jury found him guilty, Ontario Superior Court Justice Shaun Nakatsuru specifically gave Morris , then 26 , a self-declared “ lenient ” sentence of one year to address “ one small step at a time , the problem of the disproportionate incarceration of black offenders.”

Het Saun , buddy … It’s how they were raised and ‘ cultured ‘ … The … Same … Way … For generations …

Nakatsuru’s lengthy sentencing decision was an impassioned declaration of the struggle to balance the public’s outcry over gun violence with systemic racism against young black males.

“ I know that some may accuse me of being soft on crime. On gun crime. I do not believe that is so ” Nakatsuru began his decision that sparked the appeal.

“ Recognizing , as the law must , that individuals are held responsible for the acts they commit that breach the criminal law , the reality is that this choice to act may be constrained by an offender’s life circumstances ” he wrote …

“ These are systemic and case-specific factors that lessen your moral blameworthiness for this offence and soften the impact of general deterrence and denunciation.”

” Moral blameworthiness ” ?!!! … Are you serious ?!!! … This asshole’s a … ‘ Judge ‘ ?!!! …

Aboriginal and black people are disproportionately before the courts and in jails , courts have long noted.

I wonder why ?!!! … ” Hey all my bro’s do it !!! … Y’all can’t be blamin’ me !!! … I’s a victim whitey !!! ‘… Y’all can kiss my black ass !!! “…

Ever since a Supreme Court of Canada decision called R. v. Gladue , when sentencing Aboriginal offenders , judges across Canada must pay particular attention to individual circumstances as well as systemic or historical factors such as colonialism , residential schools and systemic racism.

Well that’s a pretty damn big scope !!! …

Jonathan Shime , Nana Yanful and Lori Anne Thomas are representing a joint submission at the appeal from the Black Legal Action Centre and the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers.

Now this always make me go … ” THINK about this ” …

Jonathan Shime , Nana Yanful and Lori Anne Thomas are representing a joint submission at the appeal from the Black Legal Action Centre and the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers.

You keep on going about how you’re ‘ equal ‘ and ‘ we’re all the same ‘… Yet YOU have formed an organisation such as … ‘ Black Legal Action Centre and the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers ‘…

His team supports having something similar to Gladue reports for black people who have been found guilty of crimes , where judges have “ some analysis that will properly take into account the history of the black experience in Canada , including slavery and other features of the black historical experience in Canada.”

There’s no ‘ black ‘ person … ‘ White , brown , albino ‘ WHATEVER !!! Who is a slave today and it’s been that way for a LOOOoong time !!! … You’re trying to tell me we have to ‘ consider that when some cretinous , uneducated , poorly raised moron stabs someone over a coke deal gone bad ?!!! …

WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT !!! …

.

Maybe she’s just dumb … Kirsten Gillibrand’s’s attempt to out-Trump the Master Insulter kind of backfired when she accidentally implied he is Superman …

Kirsten Gillibrand

✔ @SenGillibrand

Just a reminder:
Donald Trump is a coward.
He is a misogynist.
He has torn apart the moral fabric of this country.
And I believe his kryptonite is a strong woman who can’t be silenced.

If Superman Trump’s kryptonite is “ a strong woman who can’t be silenced ” who exactly is Kirsten Gillibrand campaigning for here ?…

Like the previous post … As I read … My mind went straight to the thought of women who actually ARE ‘ strong women ‘… As did PR in her assessment of the laughable outburst … Do you think Kirsten could stand up to the relentless attacks and ugly rhetoric flung at Ivanka Trump , Kellyanne Conway , Sarah Sanders , or any of the women who work in the Trump Administration ?!!! …

My thoughts exactly !!! …

If she had to endure even one day of getting dragged like a rag doll by the media , Kirsten Gillibrand would be in the fetal position in a corner somewhere whining about what a victim she is …

I don’t know.  Seems to me if strong women are Superman Trump’s kryptonite, it isn’t having the desired effect on him.  The guy is surrounded by strong women — women who refuse to be cowed into silence by the hateful news media or crumble into a heap when they are badgered , slandered and vilified by the Democrats.

It’s easy for Kirsten Gillibrand to PRETEND to be a strong woman …

It’s far easier for me to believe Trump is Superman than believe he’s a coward.

But reality aside ( and since we’re talking about a Democrat , we have to put reality aside ) , Kirsten’s flailing ad hominem attack would have been way more effective if only she hadn’t accidentally implied that President Trump is Superman.

Let’s be honest. It kind of took the sting out of her childish “ pay attention to me !! ” attacks , wouldn’t you say ?

Stole pool floats to use for sex ?! …

A Florida man arrested in the theft of stolen pool floats told cops he used the inflatables for sex instead of raping women , court papers show.

Christopher Monnin , 35, was charged Thursday with breaking into the backyards of homes with pools in Palm Bay and stealing only flotation devices, according to the arrest affidavit.

“ Defendant stated that he sexually gratifies himself with the pool floats instead of raping women ” the affidavit said.

Now , reading this at 6:09 in the morning , enjoying my third coffee , I immediately began to conjure up various images of what an individual like this may look like …

Didn’t come up with this guy , but he’s definitely within the parameters of my thoughts !!! …

WHAT A LOSER !!! … Ya can’t ‘ fix ‘ that !!! …

Enjoy your empty gut feeling … It’s YOUR choice !!! …

May Chiu , lawyer and spokesperson for the group Progressive Chinese of Quebec , is calling on Quebecers to join her and others in denouncing Bill 21 and Bill 9 , laws that were forced through the legislature this past weekend to restrict immigration and to ban the wearing of religious symbols by many government workers.

She said the legislation will increase discrimination against minorities and will affect women’s freedom , since women who wear hijabs are targeted by the bill and will have a harder time finding employment.

” A lot of people think that when the notwithstanding clause is invoked we have no more recourses. And we’re here to say no , we have our bodies , we have our words , we have our legs , we will demonstrate , we will take all kinds of civil actions to continue to protest this extremely unjust law ” said May Chiu.

She is leading a group of people who are camping outside the premier’s offices in downtown Montreal and who will be fasting for one to five days at a time.

” I’m a lawyer but I’m also an activist and for me just to sit on my hands and not act and to wait for the results of long court decisions , or long court procedures , it doesn’t sit well with me ” said Chiu.

She added that for many families , the legislation mean fewer opportunities.

” Not having the ability to pursue specific employment options means losing that dual income ” said Farouk , which led to the motivation for the hunger strike.

” If the government is going to be taking food away from those Quebecers , they’re going to take food away from themselves to show support for those people affected.”

Protesters gathered outside Premier Francois Legault’s office at noon Wednesday to begin a series of hunger strikes against controversial legislation.

” I expected that. I expected that some people would like that we have a situation like in the rest of Canada which is to permit everything for everybody. We decided to have more the model of France , Germany , and Belgium. Of course all models will be criticized, but what I’ve seen since Sunday is that the vast majority of Quebecers are happy , and I hope we’ll be able to spend more time talking about education , healthcare , and the economy which are the real priorities of all Quebecers , including minorities ” said Legault.

You mean the ACTUAL WORK that we overpay you people to do Franky ?!!! … SHIT !!! … There’s an idea !!! …

I’m DEFINITELY old !!! … A politician from KBec ‘ making sense ‘ !!! …
