People never stop baffling me |
|
I was in court until about 2:45 today. ASside from the usual parade of dipshits up for silly things like drunk driving and assault. Some guy, during a recess, goes to talk to the Crown Prosecutor about having his curfew lifted. First off he had a curfew imposed because he breached his probation by hitting someone (Actually my boss's son) in the head with a lead pipe. He was already on probation for a number of charges such as trafficking and assualt.
So what's his argument for having his curfew lifted?
"It's summer and I can't even go camping."
WAHT A FUCKING IDIOT.
DO these people even understand the concept of justice? It's just unreal.

That does sound like something a Canadian would say.
Be uncanny if this is so. ;)

2. I've come to the conclusion |
|
that criminals (at least those who get caught) think differently than other people. They don't seem to connect actions and consequences. Recently, we had a fellow come apply for a job. He sat down and told me how many hot checks he had out, how he was in trouble over a suspended license (DWI)-and said he had no problem driving to work because he'd never had a license and didn't think he needed one! Needless to say, he didn't get the job.

3. I'm way older than you and I'm constantly amazed at people and |
|
their lack of common sense. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but no.

"I couldn't go to dinner at my mother-in-law's last week."
OH gee that's too bad - hey how about we just suspend your sentence? But you have to promise not to commit anymore crimes.

8. Yeah just promise us you won't hit anyone in the head with |
|
a lead pipe and we'll drop that nasty curfew, you poor lad. It does sound like Canada doesn't it.
You know the Kelly Ellard/Rena Virk thing just started up again and talk about morons. Kelly Ellard's probation revoked because she beat up an old lady - man how stupid is that? Her second chance to make good and she blows it too.

You don't have a San Quentin or Pelican Bay equivalent?

13. Nope - not to my knowledge |
|
Most prisons are provincial. There is probably only one or two federal ones. But I must STRESS I know nothing about it.

18. I had to go to traffic court a few years back . . . |
|
because I got caught in a speed trap (doing 50 in a 30) . . . when I got to court, the officer who nabbed me wasn't there because he was ill, so the judge offered another lady he had stopped a deal: pay the fine, and there would be nothing put on her driving record . . . this is important if you don't want your insurance premiums to skyrocket . . . she tookd the deal in a minute . . .
the next guy up was in the same position, but like an idiot he decided that he wanted to contest the radar gun and asked to come back when the officer was available . . . when my turn came, I simply asked if I could get the same deal that the lady got, and did . . . but I couldn't believe how stupid that other dude was . . .
