Violent criminal avoids prison sentence because he’s an ‘indigenous’ man with ‘intergenerational trauma’
American Thinker ^ | November 11, 2025 | Olivia Murray

Jesse Garlow, a violent criminal with a long rap sheet, was caught driving around with a crack pipe in his lap, a modified “killing machine” firearm in his backseat (while under a firearm prohibition for previous crimes), a flamethrower in his trunk, $5,000 in cash that he swore he won from gambling, and a small scale (undermining his gambling winnings story), but has avoided a prison sentence because he’s an “indigenous” man with “intergenerational trauma” and therefore, in the mind of female judge Brenda Green in Ontario, Canada, he has no agency, and deserves no additional punishment than time served. From a National Post report via MSN, here’s Green’s “reasoning” (if it can even be called that) for her ruling:

‘I have determined that systemic and background factors have affected the degree of responsibility of this offender. Mr. Garlow is the personification of intergenerational trauma. I cannot imagine more sympathetic circumstances or mitigating factors that cry out for some compassion. Punishing him with a further period of incarceration for the sake of the common good would be unjust….’

The prosecutor was asking for three-and-a-half years in prison, but Green decided that the time Garlow had already been incarcerated while awaiting his trial was punishment enough. Garlow’s lawyer argued that his client’s “personal history” somehow “attenuates his moral responsibility” for his criminal actions, and Green agreed, saying, “There is an undeniable link between his criminal record and his experiences as an Indigenous person.”

I’d like to know, are these the same type of people who are working within the system to enact gun control measures? Probably. So Garlow can get caught with a modified machine gun—but a normal contributing citizen makes an innocent mistake on paperwork and faces charges?

“Intergenerational trauma”? Does this also apply to the white Canadians who have, for generations, been...

Someone should have told the judge that they saw him driving a truck during the trucker’s protest.

His thinking may have been distorted by the American heavy diet of over processed foods and the effects of climate change. /S

“There is an undeniable link between his criminal record and his experiences as an Indigenous person.”

In other words, any “indigenous person” is criminal threat.

That does it. Release (decarcerate as AOC says) all prisoners affected by intergenerational disfunction.

Let them talk to social workers once a week.

White liberal women are going to be the death of this country. Letting them vote was a massive mistake.

Defense attorney: "So, what was the problem, a burned out license plate light? My client was discriminated against."

a crack pipe on his lap

Always break into laughter at the Big Lebowski sequence where he's smoking marijuana while driving, drops the joint onto his lap and it sets his pants on fire and causes him to crash into a row of trash containers.

The flamethrower was a nice touch. /sarc

Last January when we had some big fires out here, a man was riding around on a bicycle carrying a large blow torch, trying to set multiple old Christmas trees and garbage cans on fire. Residents called the police, but they said there wasn’t enough evidence to arrest him for arson.

However, he was arrested on suspicion of a felony probation violation.

Running around with a flamethrower or a blow torch seems kind of like a red flag. And in the Canadian’s case, a violent criminal with a long rap sheet carrying a blow torch and a modified machine gun is a red flag in neon lights.

This Judge is the kind of person who would donate to a GoFundMe charity for a mysterious Nigerian Prince trying to get back home to his palace of gold and emeralds.

A bit of Cadian history:
December 6, 1989, at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Fourteen women were murdered in the anti-feminist attack; another ten women and four men were injured.

The shooter, Marc Lépine (born Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi) Algerian.

Nope. Not at all. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
