One man's life sentence is another's house arrest

Yesterday Daniel Sylvester was found guilty of the second-degree murder of his next-door neighbour, Alicia Ross, by an Ontario jury after less than four hours of deliberations.

The conviction carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for at least 10 years.

Which is fine by me. If you take someones life you should lose yours. That's fair.

Too bad Ol' Daniel didn't take the life of a Toronto taxi driver while he was street racing, he'd only be serving 1 year house arrest, another year with a curfew and not allowed to drive for four years, as two teens did for crashing their parents Mercedes into Tahir Khan, who died in January 2006, days before he was set to be sworn in as a Canadian citizen. (And I don't give a shit if that's the longest run-on sentence you've seen me write.)


Just goes to show you their are two levels of justice: The rich fucks, and the rest of us.

And don't talk to me about Paris Hilton and her 21 days in the joint, I've gone down on women longer than that, just ask GIGC.

Note to the two teens charged in the shooting death of high school student Jordan Manners: Better hope you come into money soon.
