    Canadian justice, especially when it comes to sending convicted women to prison, is a f...ing joke.
    Now, if it had been a drunken man who had killed that poor, little girl...

    A guy just got 8 years for a drunk driving killing in Quebec. He was a very good man. Never had any other offence. He was even a volunteer for driving drunk people home in the Holydays season. He got a promotion, drank a little too much and made that big mistake.

    2.5 years is a joke.

    40 years of precedent setting minimul sentences, made this one a no brainer for the judge.

    Apparently she's not to happy with having been given anytime and is appealing and should be out on bail by next week at the latest. So given our screwed up judicial system, I can see her doing next to no time, little own 2.5 years.

    2/3 of 30 months is of course 20 months. Which, is the prerequisite 2/3 of sentence before parole. for a little known clause-if the offense is the first for the convicted person they are only required to serve 1/6 of their sentence in secure custody before release. In this case, expect this stupid bitch to serve only 5 months!

    We just had a guy here sentenced to 7 years for hitting a guy . Now that once punch cause the guy to fall backwards and hit his head so he's now brain damaged. And it was a gay bashing. But the victim isn't dead, it was one punch. Is the harm to a gay man really that much greater than killing a 4 year old girl?

    Well, maybe judge was thinking that a driver wasn't dangerous for society and that's enought for his action.

    It is bullshit.

    Remove discretionary judgements for judges, weak liberal pussies.

    Minimum sentences for taking a life.

    Isn't this ironic?
    The death shocked the province and led to the government passing some of the toughest drunk driving laws in the country.

    And 2.5 years in jail. Sure!

    B.C. Provincial Court Judge Peder Gulbransen told Berner that impaired driving causing death is one of the most serious offences in the Criminal Code as he handed down her sentence.
    And you give 2.5 years. Damn, I have myself some sober killing to do methinks!

    Conclusion: drunk + woman = no fucking sentence to speak of.

    We've had shit kickings here in BC that put the victim in a wheelchair for life - sentences were minimal. When 3 native kids beat she shit out of a white kid, ending his chances of a pro golfing career and permanent brain damage, the 2 juveniles got 3 months house arrest and the adult got 2 years. But punch a gay man once, and you get serious time.

    Conclusion: attack a white straight guy = no fucking sentence to speak of. Hit a gay man once, and that's it for you. Some victims are more equal than others, some attackers are more equal than others. All of it is bullshit.

    There is one old good joke: police stopes very drunk driver
    -You're so drunk, how did you get into the car, that's unbelievable.
    -My friends were helping me
