„An Indigenous man who bragged to an undercover cop about the Gladue “discount” that would cut his penalty in half for helping to clean up after a Calgary murder has been sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, even though the Crown was looking for as much as 10.“
Seems he was right

I mean, where’s the lie? Young man’s spitting straight facts.

Where are the “harsher penalties don’t lead to less crime” gang at? Criminals should get harsh sentences that can be reduced by demonstrating rehabilitation.

>The judge found that Tait’s “early addiction and reliance on drugs placed him in that house on the day of the crime. His actions, while not excusable in any way, must be viewed through the lens of a person who is Indigenous and who has experienced the early childhood experiences that Mr. Tait experienced.”
I disagree with viewing anyone’s race being used for sentencing purposes. It goes against the fundamental legal principle that all are equal before the law.

Gladue itself is a racist principle. It is essentially insinuating that indigenous people support allowing criminals out of prison due to systemic failures against them. That they support crime and criminals in their community. I really don’t think it’s true. Indigenous people want murderers and criminals in jail instead of being released back into their communities.
This is crazy.

Gladue principles are one of the blights on our criminal justice system and should not exist. The fact violent criminals are having sentencing for their heinous crimes against their victims reduced is disgusting. Their victims are no less sexually assaulted, abused, murdered, and in this case, dismembered, because their attacker was indigenous. It would be fantastic if our „justice“ system chose to actually serve and protect the majority of society, the innocent, and the victims of crime. Instead we have shameful Gladue principles, we have pathetic slap on the wrist sentences across the board, and a revolving door of releasing violent horrible people back into society. Frankly I don’t give a brass farthing about rehabilitating the violent dregs of society at the extraordinarily high cost of the safety and lives of everyone else. The number of violent criminals who are let out just to turn around and hurt more people is a shame to our criminal justice system and to us all.

>Jason Leo Tait “suffered the negative effects of intergenerational trauma as related to his mother’s family and the impact of the residential school system which, in part, resulted in her addictions,” the judge wrote.
Well he wasn’t wrong about that discount was he?

It’s „halve.“
„Half“ isn’t a verb.

Anyone can have family trauma, but indigenous family trauma is more traumatic than others.

I love it how progressives have become so progressive that they’ve looped back around to being completely racist. Who do you think these people are victimizing? Their own community.
You’re perpetuating a cycle of violence and criminality in indigenous communities by releasing violent criminals back into them before they can be fully rehabilitated, you fucking idiots.

Yeah this is fucked up. It’s time to get rid of Gladue. One justice system for all individuals in Canada, regardless of arbitrary factors like race or immigration status.
