Two-tier policing out in force in Epsom and Clapham

ON Wednesday, a group of mostly white working-class men protested against the ridiculous claim by Surrey Police that they do not have ‘sufficient information’ to describe the gang rapists of a woman outside Epsom Methodist Church on Saturday. The protesters were confronted by police in full riot gear.

Yet two weeks ago, hundreds of mostly non-white youths, organised on social media, swarmed Clapham High Street. They ran riot, jostled pedestrians, shoplifted, let off fireworks, blocked the streets, and assaulted first responders. A few police officers showed up to observe from their cars. Eventually 100 officers were deployed, of whom four were assaulted. They issued a dispersal order, and (later still) arrested three girls.

Such two-tier policing aggravates the tensions in Epsom.

There’s no reason for courts to be setting Canadian immigration policy

In a recent ruling, Court of Quebec judge Antoine Piché tore a strip off Crown prosecutors who appear before him for discounting sentences based on offenders’ immigration status, to avoid non-citizens being flagged for deportation — which is supposed to happen after a criminal sentence of six months or more is handed down.

I was most intrigued by Piché’s annoyance at the widespread insistence that this doesn’t happen. This is one of those Canadian phenomena that clearly exists — National Post has reported many such cases, many of which wouldn’t be known to the public otherwise — but that we’re supposed to pretend does not.

Diplomat’s son gets race-based discount on kidnapping sentence

His father, a diplomat, helped him buy his first condo in Mississauga, Ont.

His brother later helped him purchase a house in Hamilton and invest in several legitimate businesses.

But a judge considered his race while sentencing Samir Abdelgadir for helping to kidnap a 14-year-old Black boy for 36 hours in order to recoup 90 kilograms of cocaine stolen by the boy’s half-brother.

Ontario judge decries justice system for prioritizing foreign-born criminals over their Canadian victims

An Ontario judge has launched a remarkable attack on the Canadian judiciary, arguing that the justice system is “at an inflexion point” and must decide whether to prioritize the needs of vulnerable Canadians or criminals who have abused them.

Justice Antonio Skarica’s broadside on his fellow judges came as he sentenced a Nigerian university student who extorted a Canadian woman and left her in “constant fear” by sharing her intimate image. He sentenced Boss Omeire to 28 months in prison in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice.

HUNTER: Faculty lounge judge seems to LOVE foreign-born criminals

Federal Court Judge Sebastien Grammond seems to like foreign-born criminals a lot.

In breathless prose as part of a heavy-duty media push to bring sympathy to those Canada wants to boot, the Toronto Star cites the big-hearted judge for staying the deportation of a Sri-Lankan man.

Judge accuses Montreal prosecutors of suggesting lower sentences to prevent deportations

A Quebec judge has condemned what he considers to be a two-tier justice system in Montreal after alleging that prosecutors often recommend more lenient sentences for criminals at risk of being deported.

The Quebec Crown prosecution office, however, is denying the judge’s accusations, saying no directive to such effect has been issued.

In a decision handed down on Wednesday, Quebec Court Justice Antoine Piché slammed prosecutors in Montreal for “regularly” suggesting that offenders receive less severe sentences, including an acquittal in some cases, so as not to jeopardize their immigration status.

Lawyers are merde. You’re right they do hate us.

Killer’s Indigenous heritage cited in lesser sentence for shooting of wife

An Indigenous B.C. man who shot his sleeping wife in the head after a 17-hour drinking binge has been sentenced to under seven years for her death.

The sentence is far below the Crown prosecutor’s request for 16 years and is partially the result of the judge finding the defendant’s Indigenous heritage a significant mitigating factor.

Race-Based Sentencing Gains Ground in Canada’s Courts

Lady Justice has been depicted as blindfolded for centuries—an implicit promise not to judge a person by immutable factors such as skin colour. In Canada, that may be changing, as courts increasingly consider a defendant’s race when determining punishment.

Rulings of recent years highlight the trend: A B.C. judge earlier this year ruled that a black man who stabbed his girlfriend to death will become eligible for parole in 12 years in part because of “systemic anti-Black racism.” A man of Filipino heritage convicted of a hit-and-run in Ontario received a conditional sentence in 2024 in part because of reports of racism, including classmates making “slanted-eye” gestures at him as a child. And a hashish trafficker in Quebec had his sentence cut by a third last year, at least partly because he descended from slaves.

Bronwyn Eyre: The ‘Gladue principle’ has caused immense harm to Indigenous women

A recent Investigative Journalism Bureau article, which appeared in the National Post, reiterated what we have long known: in Canada, Indigenous women are killed at a much higher rate — tragically, six-times higher — than non-Indigenous women.

The article quoted experts who blame the Canadian justice system for failing Indigenous women. They note that those found guilty of their abuse or murder generally face less serious sentences than perpetrators of crimes committed against non-Indigenous women.

Nottingham police ‘too worried about being called racist to catch dangerous criminals’

Ian Coates, Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar were fatally stabbed by Calocane

Police are too worried about being labelled racist to tackle dangerous criminals, the inquiry into the Nottingham attacks has heard.

Emma Webber, whose 19-year-old son Barnaby was one of three people killed by Valdo Calocane, a paranoid schizophrenic, said officers were “spending far too much time worrying about discrimination and segregation and doing the wrong thing because somebody’s of a certain colour or certain religion”.

The inquiry previously heard that Calocane was not sectioned after a previous violent attack because he was black.

Bruce Pardy: Racial discounts for violent criminals was inevitable in equity-obsessed Canada

In December 2021, Everton Downey stabbed his girlfriend Melissa Blimkie 15 times in a stairwell at a shopping mall in Burnaby. She died. Downey was convicted of second-degree murder. In February, the British Columbia Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison, the minimum sentence set out in the Criminal Code. The Crown sought no chance for parole for at least 15 years. But Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes decided on 12 years instead, in part because of “mitigating circumstances of his background,” as described in his Impact of Race and Culture Assessment (IRCA). The time to parole was reduced because of Downey’s experience of being Black.

Race played a role in Ontario drug dealer’s sentencing: ‘This somewhat attenuates his moral responsibility’

A judge took a Toronto drug dealer’s race into account when he sentenced him for trafficking and possessing a loaded handgun while under a court-ordered firearm prohibition.

The judge was persuaded that Brandon Caleb’s “life experiences flowing from his societal disadvantage and anti-Black racism normalized gun possession in his mind,” said the recent decision. “This somewhat attenuates his moral responsibility.”

Jamie Sarkonak: The crusading judge who helped Liberals build a race-based sentencing regime

There is a judge on the Ontario Superior Court of Justice whose signature move is letting violent men walk free because of racism. One of the architects of race-based sentencing, his name is Faisal Mirza, and he was appointed to the bench by former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2022.

Mirza’s flourish of race-based acquittals is not a case of a judge gone rogue: indeed, it’s perfectly on-brand. He was writing about the need for more racial considerations in the Canadian justice system in 2001, before he even became a lawyer. Back then, he argued in the Osgoode Hall Law Journal that mandatory minimum sentences for drug and weapons offences would be racist because of the disproportionate impact they’d have on Black people.

Race based justice is anti-white racism.

Is he a Muslim who hates the west? That’s a fair question.

Man who murdered girlfriend gets reduced sentence partly due to his race

A man who stabbed his girlfriend to death at a shopping centre in British Columbia received a lighter sentence partly because of his race.

Everton Javaun Downey, 35, stabbed his girlfriend, Melissa Blimkie, 15 times in a stairwell at the Metrotown Shopping Centre in Burnaby on Dec. 19, 2021. Downey fled the scene with the murder weapon before later turning himself in to police.

Judge grants leniency for Toronto crack dealer because of his nine children and his race

A Toronto crack cocaine dealer caught back in business three times over the course of ten months managed to convince a judge that he deserves some leniency because putting him behind bars would mean hardship for his nine children, but not because he’s addicted to the drugs he was caught peddling.
