It is absurd to have included that as part of the ruling, and certainly indicates the judge was at least as concerned with her own political views as she was the case before her.
That said, there was a LOT going on in the situation that probably contributed to the offender's obviously poor mental well-being. The judge likely just needlessly threw in some of her own political baggage in what otherwise seems a fairly reasonable sentence upon reading the full article.
What they saying that colonisation wasn't effective at modernising these people and that he gets a reduced sentence because we did a shit job at colonisation.
Such a shame what happened to him. The guy is a legend.
Good riddance shit stain, the world will be better off without you.
some people make the world a better place with their passing. others make the world a better place with their passing
I'm rooting for the mold
Oh no!
Anyway...

This part is also hilarious:
On a Tuesday evening at a community centre in a quiet corner of Beckton, east London, more than 175 people have gathered for an event.
Some have travelled from as far as South Wales, Birmingham and Oxford to attend a meeting organised by Worcester LGBT, which describes itself as a support group for gay and lesbian asylum seekers.
The group's website says that only genuine gay asylum seekers are welcome.
But the men spilling out from the centre's doors onto the pavement outside readily admit to our undercover reporter that all is not as it seems.
"Most of the people here are not gays," one man called Fahar says.
Another, who gives the name Zeeshan, goes further.
"Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay."
...
With the conversation having now switched to Urdu, she appeared much more enthusiastic about helping our reporter stay in the country, discussing how he could apply for asylum on the grounds that he's gay.
When he told her that he wasn't gay, she told him: "Listen to me. There is nobody who is real. There is only one way out in order to live here now and that is the very method everyone is adopting."
She would not be drawn on who had passed her his number, but we were able to match her WhatsApp profile picture and first name to Tanisa Khan, who works as an adviser to Worcester LGBT.
Trump needs prison
On Sunday’s episode of “Pod Save America,” Booker said he hadn’t even heard of Piker until recently.
Hasan Piker was literally on an episode of Pod Save America's outlet several times over the years.

I am a big fan of electric cars. I am buying my second one now. I wish more conservatives would jump on the electric bandwagon. There are issues thought such as charging availability and yes, disabled drivers would have issues. Currently in my state, someone has to come pump your gas if you are disabled. There is no requirement for electric drivers. Once you drive an electric car, you will understand the hype. Car is fast as hell, quiet and if it's a Tesla, a very different experience.
I used to think that too, until the pattern emerged that he's outspoken only when it's about Russia or Russian-aligned countries. His "interview" with Putin really was the icing on the cake.
Iran and Russia are allies, Iran is pretty much the last one they've got in the region. It's in Russias medium/long term soft power interests that the current government isn't toppled.
The war itself isn't improving Russias bottom line as much as Trump dropping sanctions. The global price of oil didn't matter much as long as the price caps were in place.
FYI, the activist who spoke against the drag story hour for kids and took his own life, was actually a young gay Australian.
I would just say Tucker is criticizing Western power projection globally and has become an isolationist.
Then why wouldn't he be all about this? The Iran war is massively improving Russia's bottom line.
I'm not saying he's not a massive cunt, I'm just saying.
Considering Carlson has ALWAYS promoted whatever view best serves Russia, I don't know how anyone could not see this coming
Our system is good. People like to whine because they don’t get the alternative is doubling our taxes.
I’m fine with the system. As survey after survey has shown most of us are.
You thought Japan had a socialist system without realizing it’s more similar to ours. I wouldn’t be taking insurance advice from you.
Only asking people with health insurance if they are happy with the American healthcare system is a bit like asking people in a boat if they are drowning. Ask the 8% of the population and more than 11% of American adults who don't have health insurance what they think of the system. And that data is prior to implementation of Trump's OBBBA which kicks 10-15 million people off Medicaid/Medicare.
Edit : I would also question the reliability of data coming from a source called "SurveyMonkey".
Plenty out there. https://www.hematologyadvisor.com/news/most-americans-are-happy-with-health-insurance-poll-finds/
77% happy.
I bet he's got brain cancer or something. How did he make it to office, is he like the pendulum swinging right after Arnie?
Yes, it doesn't say what you claim anywhere. Can you explain how you came to the 70% figure?
