And the final update to this saga: I was just at his sentencing. The prosecution had asked for 15 months in prison because of the randomness and aggression in his assault on me and his extremely long history of violent crime (43 prior convictions). The defense asked for no time because he is black and jail made him sad (yes really). The judge decided on a “middle ground” sentence of 9 days in jail, of which he will serve 6 days. :)

A lot of non-Canadians don’t know that Canada has a race-based legal system that guarantees Indigenous offenders lower sentences. Even for extremely violent crimes, like rape, murder, or choking babies. The other side of that fact is that this has created a bustling economy for liberal academics and activists, who get paid millions of government dollars every year to scratch their retarded heads over why Indigenous communities have such high crime rates. So if you want a clear picture of what this looks like in practice, take this example: Indigenous men beat their wives and girlfriends, who are usually also Indigenous, at very high rates. They will rarely get put in prison, with courts typically opting to just send them to fluffy, culturally sensitive drum beating tipi healing circles. In other words, they are effectively free to just continue beating their wives or girlfriends. An academic or activist sees this, and then gets money from the government to study why domestic violence rates are so high in Indigenous communities. After a few hundred thousand dollars in “research funds”, the conclusion is never “it’s because these violent men aren’t getting taken off the street and appropriately punished after committing domestic violence.” Never. It is always, somehow, that the justice system is racist. It truly is an incredible racket.
