Minor hockey coach gets 15 days in jail for tripping child player

I don't think this is a "heavy punishment", as they are calling it in the article.

To be served on weekends.

People like him are pure asshats and his excuse of being off his meds leads me to believe he shouldn't have been allowed near kids in the first feking place.

Class act..........not.

Yep. Mind, he'll not coach or be a scout master again and he'll have to look friends and family in the eyes for the rest of his life knowing they likely think of him as a bit of a prick.

Good

if the kid had of died he might have received a full month

Jail time, of any length, is "heavy punishment". But I don't think you should be allowed to do it on weekends. The whole point of jail time, as a sentence, is to take the offender out of their "regular life". Doing a sentence on weekends doesn't cause the inconvenience that jail time is supposed to be. Make the fuckhead take 2 weeks off work, out his life and immersed in general population with offenders serving much longer sentences. That's where, speaking from experience, the lesson is learned.

Agreed. Mind, that spread out ovet ime with the knowledge and anxiety that one is going to do a check in and out of jail. In some ways it's a death by a thousand cuts approach.

Good point; I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe they did not show all of the video on TV out here but I was shocked that after he did it there was not a parent jumping onto the ice to pound him.

I agree Benn, if I had just watched that prick trip my son I might've been joining him in jail after I pounded his face in.

I don't really agree with any jail time being "heavy punishment", at least not in the context I'm thinking. "...immmersed in general population with offenders serving much longer sentences...lesson is learned" That's assuming he'll be in at least a medium to high security prison, chances are he'll be in a low security prison with others who are serving sentences of similar nature. He's not going to be thrown in with hardcore criminals.

True. But I still think jail time is too much. A suspended sentence would have sufficed IMO. He'd still have a criminal record and he's suffered a lot already. I heard he's lost his job, how wife left him, and his name is mud everywhere he goes now. That's way worse than jail time.

Try it some time then. It is.


To do 15 days, he won't be sent to prison at all. He'll do the time in a provincial facility with all manner of different types of offenders, including those who are awaiting trial on the most serious offences (murder, etc,). I did 30 days for Dangerous Driving and I shared space with all sorts characters, most of them serving more time and for much more serious offences than mine. He'll be plenty frightened by those around him. Don't kid yourself on that.

hmm,, so jail is the icing on the cake, and the beating inside he will hopefully
get will serve as the cherry on top.

Sounds about right.
