How is this law a good thing?
Well I think it's a very good thing to punish those who would riot, and cause damage. As we saw in Vancouver, so many of those that were causing problems did so becasue they thought they weren't going to be caught, or could remain anonymous. By putting extra penatlies in place, it'll proabbly make some of those people think twice.
If you take away that precieved annonymity, you take away a lot of the problems.
To add to that, I'd like to also point out the irony of people saying that this is riduclous simply becasue rapists and murderers get less than 10 years. 10 years is the MAX, anyone who thinks that'll actually happen is way off the mark.
You can't have it both ways guys, if you're using lenient sentancing over much more serious crimes as an argument about why this new maximum penalty is too harsh, it makes zero sense to argue based on the assumption that this maximum sentence will ever actually be handed out.
Also, didn't we have this exact thread like a year ago?
