So I guess Judaism is not a religion in Canada. After all, their Human Rights Act clearly states:

3. (1) For all purposes of this Act, the prohibited grounds of discrimination are race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability and conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered.

Or maybe setting a girl's hair on fire is not a discriminatory practice.

Maybe they should burn the judge. After all, he did say it’s not racism.

[BenLurkin]

Leftists and Muslims are joining forces against God and civilization.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

It’s time for judges and juries to punish actions, not motivations. The girl would have been just as burned regardless of the motivation.

Don’t they have a game in Brooklyn called “punch the Jew” or something like that.

[RoosterRedux]

A Jew is of the tribe of Judah. I wonder how many of us are Israelites from the lost tribes.

I'm guessing a lot of Freepers are.

I would be proud to be one of that family!

So if I go to Winnipeg,go up to a black person,hold a lighter to his hair,and say “Let’s kill the ********”, it’s okay?

I’ll be darned.

wow

[SunkenCiv]

Judges are not an ethnic group, either. Thanks markomalley.

[Pharmboy]

That guy needs a few tough Yids to pay him an after school visit. Are there no tough Yids in Winnipeg? JDF types, that is. And I am one so I can use the term, so everyone relax.

[sayfer bullets]

The demographics of the perp might explain a little bit.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder how he'd rule if they'd said "let's burn the judge?"

[Gay State Conservative]

A high school student grabbed a Jewish female classmate, held a lighter to her hair and said out loud, “let’s burn the Jew,” but a Canadian judge concluded that the incident was “not racially motivated.”

Never,never,*ever* would I vote guilty on *any* "hate crime" charge.In this case it's clearly a crime to have grabbed the girl.It's also a crime to have held a lighter to her head.Regardless of his motives he had *no* justification for having done so...so,IMO,he deserves very serious punishment.Perhaps a year or more if this his first offense...*much* longer if it isn't.

Was the assailant Moslem?

[Carl Vehse]

"So I guess Judaism is not a religion in Canada."

Maybe the judge is just a total liberal idiot. Sadly that's an all-too-common reason in the United States.

[Liberty Wins]

Judges need to be elected. Period.

[faithhopecharity]

Jews can encounter difficulty getting anti- discrimination laws enforced by dept of justice or upheld in so e USA courts too to protect them from, sometimes, quite blatant and harmful acts. This problem is not confined to Canada.

[Pearls Before Swine]

It wasn’t racial, it was religious. And the difference, under Canadian law is...?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nazi Judge. Must be a Liberal.

[NonValueAdded]

Callie Travers: Just what do you consider going too far? Isn’t forcible rape in broad daylight a misdemeanor in this town? /HPD

[Lurker]

So now that this idiot judge has had his say it’s time for this girls family to have theirs. If the perp is found burned to death in an alley, so be it.
