You're taking some liberties with the perspective that I've shared.
I'm not condoning an incitement to violence. What I'm suggesting is that when you're dealing with a group of individuals who may make comments that could potentially constitute a hate crime in this country, having the sitting Attorney General discuss what outcome should result from a given set of facts is dangerous behaviour.
I think it's important that the justice system operate independently of my office. Our system has been specifically designed to ensure that this independence exists permanently in this country. I think it would be uniquely unhelpful if we adopted the practice that you see in certain other jurisdictions in the world of having elected officials suggest what the appropriate criminal penalties would be for individual cases. We have a different and better system.
