Dangerous offender Simon Gares is a prince of a man.
He goes to prison, comes out, breaches, returns to prison, and then, like a phoenix, soars back into our communities. Rinse and repeat.

Miami Incident Highlights Fact Cops Have NO Duty to Protect You
Imagine you’re in the center of a mob. A bunch of punks on bicycles are beating you half to death–let’s assume you’re disarmed for some reason–and you’re not sure you’ll survive. Then you see it: A white car with flashing blue lights. You’re saved!
Only, you’re not. The officer never exits the vehicle. She just sits inside and watches, possibly recording it on the dash cam, but doing absolutely nothing else.
Trump Ready to Enforce the Death Penalty
Unlike Biden, Trump recognizes that some villains don’t deserve mercy.
WASHINGTON — Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate charged with fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December, has pleaded not guilty in connection with the killing. Like all defendants, Mangione enters the courtroom with the presumption of innocence. But if a jury finds him guilty of the capital murder of which he is accused, Mangione could be sentenced to the death penalty.
Justice is Dead: Canada and the UK Codify Racial Bias in Sentencing (Video)
Both the UK and Canada have now codified Orwellian “equity” policies that dismantle the principle of equal justice under the law. These policies ensure that racial, cultural, and religious minorities receive preferential treatment in sentencing—while White males are explicitly excluded from such leniency.

Toronto gunman’s sentence to no jail time ‘undermines our credibility,’ appeal judge warns in scathing dissent
A judge on Ontario’s top court has called out his colleagues for upholding a sentence of no jail time for a man who fired a shot during a chaotic gunfight next to Highway 401, expressing concern the decision “undermines our credibility.”
Court of Appeal Justice William Hourigan was dissenting in the case of Terrell Burke-Whittaker, who pleaded guilty to possession of a loaded prohibited firearm after he fired in the direction of the busy highway in June 2020, during a shootout involving multiple people at a viewing for slain Toronto rapper Houdini behind a North York bar.
New Sentencing Guidelines in England Could Lead to Harsher Penalties for White, Male Offenders Than Female, Minority Ones
A fight is brewing in England over new sentencing guidelines that require judges to consider a criminal’s ethnicity and faith before deciding whether to sentence them to jail. The guidelines, critics say, could lead to harsh punishments for Christians and white men, while women and ethnic minorities receive more leniency.
The fight began when the independent Sentencing Council for England and Wales released new guidelines this week ostensibly designed to counteract potential biases during the sentencing period. Under the new guidelines, set to take effect on April 1, it “will normally be considered necessary” for judges to obtain pre-sentencing reports for offenders to help determine their sentencing when the individual is from an ethnic, cultural, or faith minority.
Nothing undermines a society faster than the imposition of two tiered justice.
The ‘anti-racist’ state is a menace to equality
Who made Ibram X Kendi prime minister? Everywhere you look, the racialism perfected by America’s insufferable ‘anti-racists’ continues to wash over British institutions. These outrageous new sentencing guidelines are only the latest, most radioactive example.
The UK is turning into Canada!
I gave police my burglar’s name and address — guess what happened
After being burgled six times in eight years, Paul Powlesland had given up on phoning the police.
But after two more break-ins, the barrister went to his local Metropolitan Police custody suite last week to ask for help. This time he was armed with something he was certain would bring the culprit to justice: he had left behind a bail form with his name and address on it.
“I was told quite rudely that there’s no police and I should try 101,” Powlesland said. “As if I was stupid for thinking that they might be able to help me.”
HUNTER: Canadian judiciary holds tight to hug-a-thug mentality
If many average Canadians think a large swath of our judiciary is out of touch, I give you B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Crossin.
The “learned” judge weighed in last week that a section of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional because, uh, it treats everyone convicted of first-degree murder the same.
New wrongful conviction review body could see hundreds of applications
OTTAWA – A new independent commission tasked by the federal government with reviewing miscarriages of justice could discover that more people than expected are serving prison sentences for crimes they didn’t commit.
Other countries that launched similar commissions have found that “the degree of wrongful convictions certainly was much more significant than they knew,” said Sen. Kim Pate, a prominent advocate for the wrongfully convicted.
“I suspect we will see much the same.”
What I Saw at the Daniel Penny Trial
November 1, 2024. It’s 70 degrees in Manhattan—and getting warmer. A drought has set in since summer; the downtown breeze feels less like an East River gust than a Santa Ana wind.
On the 13th floor of Manhattan’s criminal court, at 100 Centre Street, Judge Maxwell Wiley’s courtroom is stagnantly hot. Chants from outside are audible through an open window, as Daniel Penny, the defendant in this manslaughter case, on trial for allegedly killing Jordan Neely on the subway in spring 2023, enters the building: “Daniel Penny has got to pay!” As the protesters disperse following their morning session, jackhammers from New York’s progressive public works project—demolishing the Manhattan jail to make room for a citywide jail system that can hold far fewer inmates, even as the number of inmates rises—compete with courtroom voices.
MANDEL: Could charge be stayed for girl in shocking swarming slaying?
As the second anniversary approaches of the vicious swarming death of Kenneth Lee, one of three girls who pleaded guilty to manslaughter is up on new charges in Peel.
But even the judge in the swarming case wasn’t told what they are.
Lucky for her, though, both the Crown and defence agree she should receive enhanced credit for the 93 days she spent in custody on those charges when Justice David Rose calculates how much, if any, time she should serve for her role in the senseless slaying of the homeless man shortly after midnight on Dec. 18, 2022.
Ottawa Police Promote Neglectful Officer Who Failed to Prevent Domestic Murder – Sgt McMullan is Prosecution Witness in Grus Case
Detective Erin McMullan, prosecution witness in the Detective Helen Grus case, promoted despite her record of neglect in a domestic violence case that ended in murder.
Ottawa Police Detective Erin McMullan’s promotion to Sergeant is raising questions, given that her neglect and inaction in a domestic violence case contributed to a tragic outcome. An October 17, 2024, CBC article details how McMullan’s failures may have played a role in the murder of an abused wife – a case that continues to raise concerns about Ottawa Police’s accountability in handling domestic violence situations.
What kind of functional country lets alleged criminals, by the hundreds, walk free? Canada, apparently
In April, a Toronto man accused of sexually abusing his niece walked free. According to the Crown, the man allegedly started abusing her from the time she was four or five until she was 16, and he took pornographic photos of her that he used to extort her into performing sexual acts. The case was deemed a “priority” owing to the seriousness of the charges, but it was nevertheless subject to a series of delays which, in the end, meant that it would have been 31 months between the time that charges were first brought and the scheduled conclusion of the trial had it gone on.
“Sad Muslim” Defense Breaks New Ground In Quest For Lenient Treatment By Canada’s Racist Justice System
Kelowna man pleads guilty to multiple thefts, break ins
A Kelowna man with a criminal record spanning two provinces and two decades pleaded guilty on Monday to a new set of offences.
Saeed Abbas, 44, admitted to a four part crime spree, including break ins, the theft of two Dodge trucks, a couple SUVs and even a possession of weapons charge. The criminal acts took place between September 2022 and January 2023, the latter date being when he started his incarceration.
… In making her case, Miller told the court that Abbas has a criminal record that started in 1999 when he was a youth offender in Calgary and since then, has amassed 25 convictions for offences including arson, theft, fraud, robbery, and vehicle thefts. He also has 22 breach charges.
… Miller also pointed out that the pre-sentence report that highlighted the trauma, racism, and poverty Abbas suffered since his parents came to Canada as refugees from Palestine is important to weigh into the equation.
