Prominent Ottawa judge strikes down mandatory victim surcharge | Ottawa Citizen.

:~)

Let me add here to the idea of a mandatory victim surcharge.

The notion behind it logically would be to assume that it is a type of restitution fund that should go towards victims and society in the future for behaviour criminal or not that has caused harm. Matters not great or small under this general blanket of indemnity.

In my mind, really all it is, is a good face painting exercise to hide another tax in the form of a so called good measure of fixing ‘HARM’ after the horses have left the barn en masse. Call it a Stampede towards the barn door due to a fire from hell.

Really, how does a restitution fund work. There is no precedence, no history, no guide map, no plan, no measure, no parallels that would really truly deserve implementation that could resolve the emotional, physical harm against property or persons.

If you really truly believe there should be a victim surcharge ‘TAX’ then my suggestion is to look at the ISLAMIC model of an eye for an eye and see (excuse the pun) if you can live with that model.

Hmmmmm, Catholics and Canon law have a dilemma don’t they. Either they believe in forgiveness or they ‘TAX’ !

GOOD CALL ON THE REASONING OF THE CRITICAL QUESTION OF ‘WHY’
