‘If I had the opportunity to apologize to Mr. Lee I would’: Final girl to be sentenced in fatal swarming of Kenneth Lee
The last girl to face sentencing in the death of Kenneth Lee said she takes full responsibility for her part in the swarming attack.
After her tearful apology in Superior Court on Wednesday, the now 17-year-old girl learned it is unlikely she will return to jail with the Crown agreeing she has served her time already.
Spineless senior officers need the sack
If the asylum-seeker protests now sweeping England are a dream come true for the online Right, the police response is even more tantalising. From the hastily formed “elite” squads monitoring online sentiment to the allegations that officers facilitated trollish counter-demonstrators in Epping, conspiracists can easily claim that the powers-that-be are conniving to keep anti-migrant activism down. Yet the truth, like most heady narratives, is far more prosaic. Far from crushing innocent protesters with an iron fist, British police forces are actually afflicted by a crippling institutional paralysis — one that could yet overwhelm them.
The Supreme Court just made it much more difficult to sentence youth offenders as adults
The 14-year-old charged in the fatal stabbing of a senior in a Toronto parking lot will serve, at most, four years in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. Four years – roughly the time it takes to finish a degree, or renew a mortgage term – a blink of time compared to the 71 years that the accused allegedly extinguished because Shahnaz Pestonji would not give up her car keys. Ms. Pestonji was stabbed and killed in an unprovoked attack in broad daylight when she was loading groceries into her car last week. The accused allegedly fled the scene, and later, appeared to go live on his Instagram feed, where he discussed the incident and also danced around to rap, flashing an apparent firearm.
Some data points from the “Arctic Mexico” legal system over the past week:

Rukinisha Nkundabatware was stabbed to death by a random stranger on July 9th, 2023, as he tried to ride the LRT in Edmonton. He was 54 and left seven children behind. Ironically, he had escaped the violent, impoverished world of Congo, only to be murdered due to Canada’s pathetic justice system.
Jamal Wheeler killed Nkundabatware in cold blood. He didn’t know his victim nor was he provoked by the victim. Wheeler has a thing with trying to kill people at LRT stations. It’s an established pattern for him.
Police joining Pride protests was always a step too far
Police officers who actively participate in Pride marches are breaking the law, according to a landmark judgment in the High Court. In a decision that’s likely to have a profound effect on how chief constables behave in future, Mr Justice Linden today ruled that the sight of uniformed officers marching, displaying the Progress flag and turning up in official vehicles painted in Pride colours breaches their duty of impartiality.
The defendant in the case was Vanessa Jardine, chief constable of Northumbria Police, who joined the Newcastle Pride in the City 2024 march with her officers in July last year. The judge said that Jardine’s decision to participate was “irrational”, pointing out that every police officer swears an oath to behave with “integrity, diligence and impartiality”.
This is the Canadian justice system on drugs.
Every day, we’re bombarded with tales of incompetent judges, unrepentant criminals, softer-than-cotton parole decisions, and bail that never, ever seems to be denied. At the same time, the Chief Justice of Canada, Richard Wagner, moans that people are mean.
Last year, a Toronto police officer speaking at a community event suggested that residents leave their car keys by their front door to avoid violent confrontations with potential home invaders. The implication was that break-and-enters in the area were simply going to happen – home invasions and auto theft occurrences had risen 400 per cent the previous year, according to the Toronto Police Service – so it was best to give the criminals what they wanted: your car.
WARMINGTON: Ontario court gambles with public safety, grants serial drunk driver bail
I don’t care if this scum is a citizen, air drop him over ButtFeckistan.
In Edmonton last month, a judge laid the groundwork to acquit a man who, while sporting clear hallmarks of drug dealing, was caught by police packing a loaded Glock. If you’re ever wondering why crime is on the rise in Canada, you can look straight to decisions like these by our courts.

An Ontario court justice has sent a strong message to criminal thugs all across the province who might find themselves in a scenario where they could help a friend evade justice: Go ahead. You won’t necessarily go to jail. In fact, you might be able to keep your gym membership.
In July, 2023, in the Leslieville area of Toronto, Khalila Mohammed helped a man involved in a fatal shooting of a bystander escape the scene and hide out from authorities. Ms. Mohammed, who was 23 years old at the time, worked as a harm-reduction worker at the supervised-consumption site near where the daytime shooting took place. Karolina Huebner-Makurat, a mother of two who lived in the area, was hit and killed by a stray bullet.
In Brevard County, Florida, the local sheriff doesn’t play around.

Justice Renu Mandhane is one of Ontario’s foremost judicial activists, so it should surprise no one that she’ll stoop to using racism as a basis to let Black men off the hook for possessing illegal guns.
That’s what happened at the end of March in the case of Robert Cameron, who had been pulled over and detained for having outstanding drug charges and a suspended license, and whose car, in the process, was discovered to be illegally housing an unlicensed firearm.
Judge tosses seized gun over racial profiling of Black driver, cites ‘systemic’ problem inside Peel police
A Peel Regional Police officer engaged in the racial profiling of a Black motorist in an example of a “systemic” problem within the service, a judge has ruled.
The case, which resulted in the unravelling of a firearms prosecution, adds to a list of similar incidents that demonstrate a “systemic and intractable problem” within the police service, Superior Court Justice Renu Mandhane said in a sharply worded ruling that excluded a rifle discovered in an unlawful search of a Jeep driven by a Black man.
Const. Anand Gandhi stopped the Jeep in Brampton on a Sunday afternoon in October 2023 after an automated licence plate reader on his cruiser detected that the owner of the Jeep was facing drug charges in Toronto and was under a licence suspension for medical and administrative reasons.
This might be one of the most outrageous judicial outcomes in recent memory, and it sets a dangerous precedent. In a case that should’ve been open and shut, we watched common sense get overruled by ideology.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty recently gained notoriety for not prosecuting a Minnesota government employee for committing a series of felonies for keying Teslas. It was a travesty, one made even more blatant by the fact that her office is prosecuting a woman for causing much less damage, vandalizing one car instead of six Teslas.
Welcome to Canada.
