Potential Criminals

That may not be the case in Canada much longer, where their Parliament is considering a law allowing judges to place someone under house arrest if the judge thinks they might commit a "hate crime."

Critics have warned the “draconian” bill is an overreach of power and could stifle free speech and difficult discussions.


But Canada’s justice minister defended the measure, claiming it would be an “important” tool to help protect potential victims (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/canada-far-right-movement-fuels-violent-islamaphobia/).


Consider Judge Engoron. A trial where the defendant wasn't allowed a jury, where the judge said the defendant was guilty before trial, where there was no victim, no one was harmed and the sole purpose was to attack a specific individual. The "crime" is a common business practice and Governor Hochul has already said that even if it is a common business practice no one else will be prosecuted.


How nice would it be to give tyrants, read that as liberals, a tool where they can destroy people for crimes they might commit? In Canada and the U.S., when the tyrants name someone the judges don't have to work to find a law. They will have laws for common practices with no victims and laws for crimes that might possibly be committed sometime.

Potential criminals? House arrest?? Well, I hope everyone in Canada has ample food storage and everything they are gonna need for staying locked up in their homes, long enough for some potential criminals to sneak out and upset the apple cart in Ottawa.

Do these peoples understand how stupid they sound when they proposed this crap?

this is what happens when political party operatives are allowed to exert their power against imaginary enemies. Engoron is obviously consumed with hate and derangement syndrome. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

It would be quite different if only one crazy or evil person with power was causing the problem. What could Engoron have done without a prosecuting attorney and help from Washington? We learned that another prosecutor visited with Kamala Harris when getting her prosecution on line. Even Hitler had Goering and Goebbels and Eichmann eager to curry favor.
