Tamara Lich and Chris Barber sentenced
For those of you who were not following, Tamara and Chris were still called organizers of the Ottawa trucker protest. They were arrested and tried for mischief charges, among other bogus charges.
They were convicted.
Today they were sentenced.
Ezra Levant lays out the details in the screengrab, but bottom line: 12 months house arrest, and other conditions.
My thoughts:
The understandable reaction is going to be “well, the crown was asking for much more, so this is actually a victory”.
Bullshit.
Having to tolerate injustice and rationalize it as being acceptable because it’s less of an injustice than what could’ve been is bullshit.
It’s the boiling frog analogy.
You tolerate injustice, you rationalize injustice, you will get more injustice.
The sentence is absolute judicial horseshit.
“it could’ve been worse” will pretty much always be true.
Call it out for what it is.
This sentence is an absolute outrageous injustice.
The sentence should have been time served, with an apology from the judge.
The entire system in Canada is fucked beyond belief.
Possibly fucked beyond repair.
