The Canadian justice system is a pathetic disaster, a gutless embarrassment that coddles criminals and mocks victims. Take Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh, two 22-year-old international students who turned a Surrey street into a bloodbath on January 27, 2024. These cowards, driving a Ford Mustang, slammed into a pedestrian, dragged him 1.3 kilometers, and left him to die like garbage. The victim, a man whose family begged to keep his name private, was alive when they hit him, trapped under their car, enduring unimaginable pain while these monsters did nothing but try to shake his body loose by reversing and speeding off. They didn’t stop, didn’t call for help, showed no shred of decency. And what does Canada’s pathetic excuse for a justice system do? Slaps them with a laughable three-year sentence and a three-year driving ban, as if that’s supposed to make up for a man’s life snuffed out, leaving a wife and a nine-year-old kid. Judge Mark Jetté, presiding over this travesty in Surrey Provincial Court, called the victim’s injuries horrific while dishing out this weak punishment, admitting the two showed indifference but buying their fake tears as genuine remorse. What a crock.
Gaganpreet, the driver, and Jagdeep, the car’s owner, pleaded guilty to dangerous operation of a vehicle, failing to stop at a hit-and-run, and desecrating a dead body, because apparently dragging a human under your car for over a kilometer is just an indignity. Jetté gave them 18 months for dangerous driving and 18 months for body desecration, served consecutively, with another 18 months for the hit-and-run running concurrently. Concurrently! As if they deserve a discount for piling up crimes. The Crown, led by Adam Jantunen, had the nerve to call this a fit and appropriate sentence that sends a message. What message? That you can kill someone in Canada, fake intelligently, and walk away with a couple of years? Jantunen sounded smug outside the courthouse, crowing about the strong message while ignoring that these two might not even face deportation. That’s right, Gaganpreet and Jagdeep, here on student visas, could stroll out of prison and stay in Canada, free to live among the people they’ve already proven they don’t care about. The system waves around likely deportation like a threat, but it’s a hollow maybe that could let these two stay after their pathetic sentence.
This isn’t just one failure, it’s a symptom of a rotten system. Look at the guy who recently tried to pay a 15-year-old for sex and got caught in a sting. Did he face real consequences? No, he got a conditional discharge, a pathetic slap on the wrist, because apparently soliciting a child isn’t serious enough for actual punishment. Canada’s catch-and-release approach is a disgrace, letting predators and killers slip through while victims’ families are left broken. The courts treat criminals like fragile children, handing out conditional sentences or probation like it’s nothing, as if a lecture will reform someone who drags a dying man under their car or preys on kids. Jagdeep’s lawyer even pushed for a conditional sentence, hoping he’d dodge jail entirely. Thankfully Jetté didn’t go for it, but the fact it was even considered shows how broken this system is.
People are furious, and they should be. Gaganpreet and Jagdeep, who needed interpreters in court despite being students here, are seen as a drain, cruising in their Mustang while leaving a trail of death. Folks are calling them heartless garbage, demanding life in prison or immediate deportation, not this three-year vacation in a Canadian jail that costs taxpayers a fortune. And for what? So they might stay in Canada after serving their time? The victim’s family, his Indigenous community, his wife, and his kid get no justice, just the empty hope of a deportation hearing that might not even happen. The Canadian justice system isn’t just weak, it’s a betrayal, a spineless surrender to criminals who don’t deserve to walk among the people they’ve destroyed.
