Judges who are too lenient on criminals should reconsider their thoughts and decisions. In British Columbia, Canada, the judges go out of their way to minimize sentences and the justice system there is a revolving door. Repeat offenders who commit 90% of the crime are released only after serving a portion of their sentences. The judges feel that their rights would be violated if the criminals are to serve their full sentences.
My interpretation is that liberal judges are giving criminals an extra right to ignore or violate the rights of law-abiding citizens. If criminals are not punished for violating the rights of law-abiding citizens then the criminal is either above the law or that they have an extra right to violate the rights of ordinary citizen with impunity. For true justice citizens should be given that same extra right to ignore the criminals rights by jailing him.
As Canada has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but, does not have a "Bill of Rights," per se; and, alternatively, as the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are habitually referred to as "the Bill of Rights," but, British Columbia is not a part of the United States--perhaps someone could explain to me the connection between the title of this thread, and the opening rant.

Your Sarcasm and arrogance duly noted
In some cases, the judges hands are tied by sentancing guidelines. However, in some cases, your are correct and oversight is minimal.

How do the crime rates in Canada and the United States compare? What about the incarceration rates?

From Setana's bitch. Thanks for the lesson in the use of capital letters.
What a bloody-minded scumbag.
Setanta is right! There is Charter of Rights entrenched by Trudeau. British Columbia, Canada seems to have a culture all its own. The biggest fraudsters operate in the formerly Vancouver Stock Exchange. There are weekly accounts of scams being perpetrated in the securities sector.
The judges here hand out sentences that are well below minimum and crooks from all over Canada come to Vancouver because of the lax justice system and the warm climate.
