A Toronto man who ran into a residential driveway shouting "Allah," grabbed a seven-year-old girl, threw her to the ground, punched her, and strangled her has been acquitted. A judge accepted that the man was in a state of drug-induced psychosis at the time and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible.

David Menzies and Tamara Lich reacted to yet another judge's ridiculous ruling on Monday's Rebel Roundup livestream.

Lich went straight to the precedent. "Marijuana isn't a psychotic drug, first and foremost," she said. "Are we going to let drunk drivers kill people because they can say, 'I was drunk'? He tried to strangle a child and he gets completely let off."

Lich then made a connection to the punishment levied against her for her role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest, noting she is still serving a conditional sentence with house arrest and a curfew, while the man who attacked a seven-year-old girl is free.

Menzies raised the question of whether the religious element of the attack played any role in the judge's deliberations — and whether a different outcome would have resulted if a devout Christian had committed the same assault while shouting about Jesus Christ.

"Do you think the judge would have gone this easy on him?" he asked. Lich said she did not think so. "That just doesn't seem to be the way this country enforces the law."

In another example of Canada's failing justice system, the hosts looked at a video shared by Canada Proud that showed individuals on the streets of Toronto openly brandishing what appeared to be restricted firearms.

Menzies noted that under Canadian firearms law, restricted and prohibited weapons must be transported in a case — and that openly displaying them is itself a criminal offence. "Where in blue hell is Gary Anandasangaree, the public safety minister?" he asked. "He's too busy going after duck hunters in Saskatchewan."

Lich agreed the double standard is impossible to ignore. "If that would have been a group of Canadian citizens waving guns around," she said, "this would be all over the mainstream media."

Menzies put it more bluntly: "If that was a bunch of people that look like me wearing red baseball caps, I think the SWAT team would be called in." The rule of law, both hosts said, is only meaningful if it is applied consistently.

Rebel Roundup airs Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 11 a.m. MT / 1 p.m. ET.
