    I mean the law does make sense. It seems like its a debatable topic as to whether this guy should be deported to a dangerous country or not for this crime.

    The title is obvious conservative moron rage bait though.

      He had illegal firearms and pointed them at another person. I think its reasonable to assume gun violence and danger would have eventually happened with him. Given he was bringing violence and danger, and had real potential to commit more dangerous crimes, I don’t feel bad sending him back to a dangerous country.

      Its not like he commited nonviolent tax fraud or was stealing food for his family, it is very likely those guns would be used for more dangerous and illegal purposes.

    While any sentence longer than six months behind bars would make Berhe “subject to an automatic removal order,” said the judge, “Immigration Canada does stay removal orders to enumerated countries that are in a state of war or otherwise subject to violence, danger, terrorism, etc.; currently, Ethiopia is one such country.”

    The title is misleading clickbait. The real story is that this guy had not one, but two illegal firearms, both being kept unsecured, threatened someones life with one, fled from arrest, and then only got three years in jail.
