Caledonia, What A Giant.....F.. Mess Up!

Could the OPP look any worse? Does pandering to the natives make Dalton look stronger? This whole issue is one giant .....f..mess up.

The OPP are busy arresting old white guys who are dying of cancer because Dalton is too scared to stand up to a few natives?

Caledonia, Ont. — The fight for justice in Caledonia has cost him at least $40,000 and an incalculable toll on his health but even now, at 76 and with the cancer in his bones, Merlyn Kinrade is unrepentant and without regret.

The OPP think arresting a war veteran, makes them look strong? Meanwhile a native beats a white man nearly to death and only gets 2 years because he is native, and the Liberals put in a law that makes it imperative that judges treat native easier than anyone else? This is justice? NO. It is a giant....f..mess up.  

Several of Mr. Gualtieri’s bones had been broken, including some in his face and head. He sustained permanent brain damage and still has trouble reading, speaking and walking.
For this vicious attack — which Ontario Superior Court Judge Alan Whitten described as “just a notch below culpable homicide” — Smoke was given a sentence of less than two years (not quite three years with time served).
This special treatment isn’t unusual for aboriginal offenders. But the federal government shouldn’t let it stand, either. The federal Justice department must appeal Smoke’s sentence all the way to the Supreme Court in the hope that the current court will reverse, at least partially, the lunacy and inequity foisted on the country by its 1999 predecessor.

The Conservative government needs to change this law, in Parliament, where laws are made, and not rely on our Supreme Court to rule on this. Change the law so that activist judges can not invoke the Charter, which gives them too much power in their rulings. It seems that anytime the judges want to make a statement or overturn a previous ruling they claim that Charter rights are being trampled on. I think it's time for the Charter to get a brush cut. It's been growing it's power for too long, and is no longer about our rights OR our freedoms, it never was.

Hug A Thug, I prefer Jail A Thug!

Funny how First Nations people can beat a man in Caladonia and nothing is done. But let a shop owner grab and hold a thief and it's not the thief who is charged it's the shop owner! This really disgusts me.

Our Liberal justice system is screwed up. The criminals are coddled, and the law abiding citizens are charged. If this is a case of making an example of a citizen who takes the law into his own hands, then I suggest as citizens that we carry weapons to protect ourselves, as the police are useless. It saddens me to no end that our police, people I used to look up to and respect, have become such political pawns.

Rex, let's them have it in this article. You go Rex!

I found myself thinking of that limited code, and the severity of its particular judgment, because of David Chen — the immigrant Chinese grocer who fell so painfully and bizarrely afoul of the law here in Toronto, and whose trial, fitfully, was undertaken this week.

All of Toronto and most of the country knows his story by now. How he spotted a chronic shoplifter-thief (on the thief’s second visit to his store in a single morning), chased him, caught him and threw him bound in a van while he (Chen) waited for the police to show up.

What followed had most of the country in a fit of anger and puzzlement when it got out. The police charged the young, hard labouring, non-thief, Mr. Chen — with kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault and carrying a dangerous weapon. (Chen was carrying boxcutters — a normal tool for a man who works in a grocery store.) Anyone with a still functioning mind who’s heard of this case cannot understand what the Toronto police and prosecutors were thinking when they laid this raft of original charges. Apparently outrage and mockery — I can’t think what else — led to the police dropping the kidnapping and “possession of boxcutter” charges, but they insisted on proceeding to trial on the other “offences.”

What a disgrace for our police and the prosecutor who should have dropped the charges outright. The expense for Mr. Chen in defending himself should be paid for by the police force that charged him, let it come out of their budget. My Canada does not include prosecuting innocent people, and letting the thugs go free. A more disgraceful display of how our justice system is broken has never been seen before. The Liberal "hug a thug" mentality is at work and thriving in Ontario. Funny how the First Nations people can get away with beating up an innocent man, but an innocent shopkeeper gets charged for apprehending a thief, and the thief walks free!

Hug a thug? I prefer Jail a thug!

Discrimination? What colour are You?

Funny, our country is multicultural, so why are some better than others? Why is law breaking not equally applied? When has it become a criminal act to carry a Canadian flag?

Well, it appears, it's worthy of arrest in Caledonia. The National Post has been doing an outstanding job of covering the news, like Climategate. Now they increase their readership with yet another great article.

Ontatio police banned Canadian flag in occupied areas of Caledonia, court hears

HAMILTON -- Recent videos of two flag-waving marches along the main street in Caledonia, passing a site that has been occupied by native protesters since 2006, were shown in court on Thursday, starkly highlighting the different reactions of police to aboriginal marchers and Caledonia residents.

The videos make it appear as though the Canadian flag has been outlawed in the area by the Ontario Provincial Police.

The first video (the fourth video on this external website) shows Caledonia resident Randy Fleming walking down the side of Argyll Street South last Victoria Day -- May 24, 2009 -- with a Canadian flag tied to a stick slung over his left shoulder. He saunters on to the edge of the occupied site, at which point he is grabbed by a black-clad OPP officer, escorted a few metres off the site, and is then pounced on by several other officers.

An officer is seen taking the flag from Mr. Fleming, quickly rolling it up and handing it to another officer, who rushes away with it.

Whatever happened to one law for all? The OPP must cringe when they see those videos. I understand that they were operating under orders from above, but deep in their guts, they must have been sick about what they were doing. Standing by and letting one group of people who will NOT fly the Canadian flag, dictating by intimidation, to another group who had no one to turn to because the OPP sat silent.

I can not imagine the trauma suffered by that family. They were stuck because noone would buy their property, not even Dalton who bought up the developers land pretty quick. So, why is the Crown fighting this? How is this couple less worthy of compensation than the developer? Why were they hung out to dry?

Well, I'm in a disadvantaged group,(HA) supposedly, because I'm a female. So, I should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon, be it pepper spray or a gun. I demand that my rights of self protection be heard. If no law covers it, so be it. I will just declare myself a Ukinchuk and demand my rights to self governance, flying a flag my 5 year old just made up. After all I have been in Canada all my life. This of course means I should be able to disobey any Canadian laws I want, because I have been here much longer than anyone younger than me.
