12 years.. really?

Maybe it's because I'm American but that seems like a bit much.

Well criminal harrasment is a sentence of up to ten years. A hate crime adds another 2-years to that sentence. Personally I don't think its too heavy. I mean yes its one bad decision but so is murder and other crimes like assualt.

Plus with such a hefty sentence its going to prevent any prick from doing this again and if someone does it shows Canada has no tollerance for racism.

I like the fact that I live in a multicultural country where all people of all races and religions can live free of fear of racist pricks.

That is bullshit, if you commit a crime and the motive is you hate the person, you get 10 years, if you commit a crime and the motive is that you hate all people of that ethnicity, you get 12 years.

 

However, I don't care all that much cos the guys are dicks :P
