riggerrob 643 #1 February 12, 2003 Is anyone else as angry as me about the fact that Inderjit Singh Reyat was only sentenced to 5 years in a minimum security prison for his part in the 1985 Air India bombing that killed 329 people, 1/3 of them children? This murderer got off with a light sentence because he claimed that he only expected the explosives to be used against property in India. Hah! Canadian justice moves so slowly that sometime we wonder if it moves in reverse! The real reason Reyat got such a light sentence is that he agreed to help the crown convict a couple of other bombers. There is also a huge banking scandle related to this bombing. The Canadian public are screaming for life in prison, but he may enjoy his freedom by the end of this year! He may even be elijable for day parole by the end of this year! If Reyat is sent to the Ferndale minimum security facility, just east of Pitt Meadows, he will be able to perfect his tennis and golf games when he is not jogging. Personally, I believe that his sentence should be 329 years in the worst jail in the Punjab! Or maybe he deserves Peruvian justice, like imprisonment in a high-altitude jail,. one of those jails where more people die of altitude sickness than beatings. You may ask why I am so incensed by this travesty of justice. Well, there is a large Indo-Canadian community near Vancouver, Heck, if you exit too early at Pitt Meadows, you land in the Sikh-owned berry farm across the road from our bowl. Hint, if you are going to kill a few hundred people, arrange to get tried in a Canadian courtroom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
