Off-the-charts "PC-ness"

So, a Sikh's Charter rights were denied because he was without his turban for three hours and 20  minutes.  OMG!  The poor guy! 

Never mind that he was in the back of a cruiser because he was driving drunk.  Oh no, never mind that.  And never mind the fact that he was so drunk he himself knocked the turban off stumbling into the police car.  Picked up at 7:30 p.m., he was in custody -- not forced into the public thoroughfare -- and didn't get his turban returned until 10:50 p.m. This "humiliated and shamed" him, he told the judge and she (why does it always have to be a 'she'?) agreed and threw the impaired charges out.  Wouldn't being drunk "humiliate and shame" him?  Guess not. 

What does his blowing over the limit have to do with whether his turban was on or off??  The guy was driving drunk.  Period, the end.  He would still have been drunk wearing his turban, so how the judge could connect the two is beyond me?!

This was in Ontario, but it might as well have been anywhere in Canada.  We are so PC it's depressingly insane.  Reality flies out the window when political correctness walks in the door.  Yesterday we celebrated the diversity of this country on Canada Day, but when people take advantage of our tolerance, collective sanity goes into a cocked hat. 

I am so sick of it.
