Never mind writing the apology letters, just a waste of paper.
I wonder where he would get an idea like that?
A year ago the public would have been outraged at such a lenient sentence. Now some are saying he shouldn't get any jail time, after all he gave himself up didn't he?
Do yah think he would have given himself up if he hadn't of been on video?
They set the bar way to low with this one.
I just hope that any of the other asshats who participated in the riot and have a criminal records get one hell of alot more time than this clown.
If I'd done something like that when I was young, I would have prayed for the longest sentence possible... way better than what would have been waiting for me at home.
so, it would have been more like protective custody than an actual sentence. Unfortunately, that couldn't have saved me, as my dad was a correctional officer.
First time for everything. Crime is crime is crime in this case... book'em Danno.
Although, after watching coverage of the LA fans throwing up gang signs and preening like gangsta peacocks in their gear outside the stadium in LA, I'm starting to wish the 'Nucks had gotten through
Agreed.

Read to the end of the story:
Like Alviar, the young man pleaded guilty and admitted to vandalizing a police car and a business, but Dickinson had a prior conviction on his record.
He received 16 months for participating in a riot and another month for breaching his bail conditions from an unrelated assault charge.
What's "no prior record" got to do with anything? Is a first offense an automatic no-time thing now regardless of the crime? CTV sure fell all over themselves with the headline alone to be obnoxiously sympathetic to the ignorant little puke. There's a perfect example of your asshole media right there.
We just assume that being in Canada, you get a pass for just about anything if it's your first offence.

That happens all the time to people in all walks of life. If someone does something stupid or snaps and goes postal, courts always take that into account.
I guess the theory is to punish repeat offenders more harshly than those who make a mistake. But I have to admit I don't like it very much.
