In relation to recent chatter about our justice system, cases like these are a good place to start. Such offences against random members of the public should carry mandatory minimum sentences of several years per incident, with absolutely no discretion for courts to suspend any part of that sentence.
Jesus, you can smell the suspended sentence already. “Your honour, my client has drug issues but he’s entered a rehabilitation programme. His mother is a heroin addict and he never knew his father”.
