"Prosecutor Karuna Ramakrishnan had tried to put Crowchief behind bars for 12 to 15 months by arguing that the indigenous woman's "unprovoked" actions represented a hate crime, the paper reported. But Judge Harry Van Harten of the provincial court strongly disagreed."
So you have a Punjabi Canadian lawyer arguing that it was a hate crime on the behalf of the Canadian government and the White Canadian judge disagreeing with it.
You've just described Canada's current legal system. People don't realize just how far left the Canadian legal establishment has become, it filters all the way down from judges' training modules, to Law Society seminars, law school curricula and hiring decisions at firms and government ministries.
It gets even more hilarious if you read the story:
