WTF?! How can a person steal wads of cash from a legit and honest small business and then only get a slap on the wrist by the courts? The accused should be forced to do community service based on minimum wage until the full amount is repaid, even if it takes 7 years of business hours. At least now anyone who Googles the accused person’s name will know they are a criminal and thief and will hopefully shred the resume. Sick of all these scumbag crooks. —Abiding

how would they live while doing community service for 7 years if 100% of their income was going to you?
I’m not trying to sympathize with the person who stole from you, I’m just being realistic here.
betcha if that was a poor black man,his ass wouldn’t see the sun in ten years…
how can they what? oh o.p., you forget, this is nova scotia, where murderers get away with shit all, and jay walkers get life in jail. bizzarro world that we live in. but maybe not that bizzarre at all. just reversed intelligence maybe.
The Courts should have assigned the thief to be the victim’s personal slave until all the money is worked off, regardless of skin color.
Because the thief is a woman that why. Women get away with alot. For example a man exposes himself he gets charged… a woman show her pussy and nothing happens.
Why do people judge verdicts? thats what the court system is for i’m sure they went through every variable to reach that verdict. I feel like i’m becoming a troll because i disagree with the majority of comments as of late.
Anglo, it’s not the verdict but the sentences.
The judge who heard the case is notorious for giving very light sentences. Just check back decisions.
Was it the judge named after part of an oil rig, Tim?
Just wondering if theres a judge the judge board then. Surely theres procedures. Maybe i have too faith in the justice system but the punishment that some people band around is just ridiculous.
it’s because people don’t judge themselves
Ivan I am uncomfortable with your avatar change. Dat one is le threatening. I quite like the other fellow.
Call Harper or just vote Conservative and then call Harper and tell him why you are annoyed.
Or ask Layton & Iggy how they would deal with light sentences.
Ivan, just read the Horrible’s article, the judge is named there and then do a search.
Sorry Donk – Until election time is over my av’s are going to be Mr. Bean, packing heat. I don’t have a doorstep to chase political fartcatchers off of, so I have to do the next best.
Thanks Tim. Will do.
