Lack of jail time a sad commentary

Yet another convicted Stanley Cup rioter won’t serve any jail time.

To the Editor,

Again we learn that yet another convicted Stanley Cup rioter won’t serve any jail time.

How anyone can call this “just” is beyond me.

But we all have seen rationalization of the most outrageous behaviour. Apparently destroying property, trespassing, looting, and stealing is now “rationalized” as not jail worthy.

No word on whether there was an order that the thief fully reimburse the victims.

Do we all have to wait until the apologists for evil become crime victims directly before justice becomes a priority?

Let’s ask those who have the power to reform this travesty. When are Prime Minister Stephen Harper and B.C. Premier Christy Clark going to act to fix a clearly broken justice system?

Canada needs to replace judges who do not know what justice is with ones who do.
