A young man who was convicted of terrorist attacks was sentenced for two and a half years in jail. “A man belonging to the so-called Toronto 18 terror group was sentenced to 2½ years in prison Friday, becoming the first person convicted in a domestic terrorism trial in Canada.” He was caught when he was seventeen and was to be tried as a child but they found he was still in contact with the terrorist group after his eighteenth birthday, so he was tried as an adult. He may not have done anything yet but he was going to and I think were taking in to easy on him. He should have way more time than two and a half years. “In a letter to the court, the man promised to work hard to contribute to society and declared, "I do not believe in participating in violent acts against anyone." He says this now and the court believe him but do you really think he is going to stop, I don’t. Usually people in terrorist groups are in it for life. They just can’t get up and leave because they were arrested. I think he should have at least twenty years in jail. I believe they could give him an exception, if he told who he was working with and all of the plans for terrorist attracts, than he would only get ten years.
