Here is a criminal with a long history of crime, serious crime, who hit a pedestrian, dragged him down a block until he turned the car and that threw the dead body off, then raced to elude citizens in pursuit. He rammed the pursuing cars. Sounds like a bad dude. You would think the system would throw the book at just a callous guy with no regard for human life. Well... think again. In British Columbia courts that kind of behaviour is good for only 4 months in jail!
Counter that with a story of a guy who tied a dog to his car to "exercise" him and dragged the dog about. That guy got many months in jail and a 5 year driving license suspension. (I can't find the video... but if I do, I will post it.)
Does this make sense? Both people are thugs and criminals, but you give a guy more time and more serious consequences for hurting a dog than for killing a doctor? What kind of topsy-turvey legal system is that? That's the BC "justice" system. I figure if you kill over 50 people they give you a heroes parade and a pension for life. But if you spit on the sidewalk you can expect to spend life in the slammer. That's "justice" in British Columbia... go figure!
