KLEIN: Is Canada dividing itself with race-based sentencing?

A Calgary man sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, terrorized her with threats, and left scars that will last a lifetime. The Crown sought 10 years behind bars. The judge agreed the sentence was fitting. But then came the caveat: “But for his Gladue factors, I would have imposed the sentence sought by the Crown.” And just like that, two years were knocked off.

The rapist, paedophiles and terror offender spared prison while Lucy Connolly was jailed

Among the criminals handed shorter sentences than Lucy Connolly are a rapist, terror offender, domestic abuser and paedophiles.

Mrs Connolly, 42, a former childminder, was released on Thursday after serving more than 300 days behind bars.

In the UK, Two-Tier Justice Is Now Undeniable

If there was ever any doubt about the existence of a two-tier justice system in the UK, the case of Ricky Jones just eliminated it.

Last Friday, a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London cleared Jones, a now suspended Labour councillor, of encouraging violent disorder at a protest last August. Jones attended a counter-demonstration in Walthamstow, London, in response to a planned right-wing protest—one of many last summer, sparked by the Southport murders. Surrounded by his fellow protestors, Jones made an impassioned speech, captured on video, denouncing the far Right: “They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.” At this point, Jones drew his finger across his own throat.
