Svend Gets Off

Gay activist and former Canadian Member of Parliament Svend Robinson pleaded guilty to stealing an expensive ring in an act that his liar (er, I mean the best 'lawyer' money can buy) said was a "cry for help."

Judge Ronald Fratkin later handed him a conditional discharge. That means he will have no criminal record if certain conditions are met.

```
If indeed his criminal act was a "cry for help", will someone please explain how a short stint of community service will get him the "help" that he allegedly needs? Clearly there was a deal already in the making before copping his plea, and do we need any more proof there is a two-tier system of justice for the have's and have-nots?

Awe Bloke, there you go being cynical again.
