Halifax Regional Police have reviewed material provided by Dalhousie University connected with the school dentistry scandal and decided not to launch a criminal investigation.
The scandal concerns misogynistic Facebook posts targeting female Dalhousie dentistry students.
Police tried to establish if any of the posts on the Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen Facebook group contravened the Criminal Code. They found the posts did not violate the code, Const. Pierre Bourdages said Thursday.
In one of the posts in the group, male students voted on which female classmate they'd like to have "hate" sex with and joked about using chloroform on women. In another post, a woman was shown in a bikini with the caption, "Bang until stress is relieved or unconscious."
On Wednesday, police received a package of documents from the university and reviewed it. They did not see anything that suggested a crime had occurred.
On Tuesday, Const. Bourdages had said the university declined to release the information to police. That evening, a university spokesperson said there was a "misunderstanding" and that the university would co-operate with police.
Yes because no crime was committed. That's not sexist. That's reality. Now maybe Romero will get it through his fat head that no threats of rape or violence were uttered.

I haven't been following it that closely, but it seems those guys were tried and convicted in the court of public opinion only. If they broke no rules and no laws, how can the university not allow them to graduate? The barred students could sue Dalhousie.

Frankly, they should sue Dalhousie. If I was a lawyer, I would take their case pro bono publico.
I think it's time we stopped allowing invasions to our private communications as if it is in some way warranted because we post on Facebook. Not all social media is designed to share our thoughts with the world and when there are checks in place that prevent such sharing like PRIVATE/invite only Facebook groups, that privacy should be protected. Even on our walls, it is generally limited to a select audience. If you are not a member of the audience, you have no right to act on the information you may come across that does not cross existing legal bounds.

Real Woman, what I heard about this it lead to me believe this group of boys made threats of rape using sleeping drugs..
It would now seem it didn't happen like that.

No they made jokes and comments to each other. No threats were made just tasteless commentary in a private group.
This case has been so distorted I can't stand it. I actually give big credit to militant feminist bullshit.

You can't blame people for believing it was a lot more serious than it actually was. They heard/read a headline and draw their own conclusions based solely on that alone. Details not required.
Yes, actually I can. It's called literacy and the vast majority of Canadians possess a shred of it. If you get your opinions from news headlines and editorials, you should be smacked.

Name an issue from involvement in the Middle East to environment to taxes to criminal justice to aboriginal affairs and I'd say most people form their opinions from highly biased editorials and headlines. Yes, it's lazy, but that's just the age we live in.
Yes it is lazy. Intellectually lazy. I tend to not let people hand me my opinions, especially journalists.

Unfortunately that's the direction we are headed. Being a man is no longer valued unless you go into the military and even there they are wise to be cautious in what they say in public. The Romero's of the world are always looking for an excuse to force their PC crap down everyone's throat. Ironically it's supposedly done all in the name of tolerance or so they claim, but as we know, that's a leftwing PC horseshit lie as well.

What do you expect? PC-ism is all about censorship and there is really no way to enforce that censorship without some kind of state sanctioned penalty.
Most of the PC idiots that clamor for what they see as social justice simply don't get it. They are too stupid to understand that their ideological garbage gives politicians more power over the lives of the citizens. But then again most PC idiots are fine with that because they are the same clowns that would have a stoke if even the smallest amount of intrusive government involvement in our lives were to lessen or go away.

In many ways, I find China freer than Canada. True, Chinese cannot "elect" their government, but neither can the government waste the people's money pandering to idiots with no skin in the game. There are a lot of things you can say there that would have public officials apologizing here.
It's a shame the sexist Halifax police will not do what is right and just and charge these disgustingly misogynistic dental students. It's a reflection that equality is still only a pipe dream in Canada. Women and people of colour must join forces to fight the tyranny of white male privilege.

They did make threats. Police found they didn't violate the Criminal Code.
When students make bomb threats, they are taken seriously but may not result in criminal charges.

One of the men involved in the so-called "DDS Gentlemen's Club" has broken his silence in an interview with the Chronicle Herald newspaper.
Ryan Millet appears in an edited video on the paper's website, talking about his role in the group.
Ryan Millet's name and photo are among 13 male names that appear on Facebook screen shots provided to CBC News in December. His photo appears in the screen shots as well.
Millet tells the Herald the Facebook group was created "during our first week in school," in 2011. He said he was added to the group, rather than joining.
He describes most of the posts as "foolish."
But he also refers to one in which the men vote on which classmate to have hate-sex with, describing that as, "extreme inappropriateness and disturbing in nature." He says a few of the men were, "very upset, disturbed by the post. We felt like the guys who posted it would come to their senses within minutes."
"That post upset me quite a bit," he says.
In the Facebook excerpts provided to CBC in December, Millet appears to be trying to persuade his classmates to get out in front of the looming scandal.
"GUYS!! RED F---ING ALERT!!!!!" writes "Ryan" in a Facebook Message, "Apparently one of the ladies has seen or heard something about the recent posts in the Gentleman's. We have to get rid of the evidence. Someone leaked it. Clean up the posts gentlemen."
The name on the screen grab is "Ryan." But in an email to CBC late Sunday night, Millet said he didn't author that post.
"That red alert post was a copy and past [sic] of a comment from another group member ... that was a private message me sending it to the person who took it to administration."
Millet's name and avatar are attached to another screen grab obtained by CBC in December. In that, he agrees with a classmate that, "an apology would sit well in our favour."
In the video posted by the Chronicle Herald Sunday, Millet says he wrote an apology letter to his classmates, which the newspaper has obtained.
Millet says he's had "positive responses" to the letter from female classmates as well as some of the men he "turned in."
The Chronicle Herald identifies Millet as the sole member of the Gentleman's Group who has decided not to participate in the university's restorative justice process.
Dalhousie University has previously said 12 of 13 men are participating.

I don't know how you mush headed Canadians view this but in the US, bomb threats are considered "terroristic threats" and are punishable under the law. I don't think in the past 25 years there has ever been an incident where someone making a bomb threat (student or otherwise) has been excused from prosecution.

They were not charged because our sexist society still doesn't see women as equals of men. Men can still have their private men only clubs, in this case a Facebook group where nothing has changed since the 1950's. It is still degrading to women.
It wasn't illegal what they did, but it should be. How can women be truly free to pursue their dreams in an atmosphere of equality when this kind of sexism even in private Facebook group is still permitted?

So you posted all this shit which supports my claim. "He describes most of the posts as "foolish."" No where in there does Ryan mention anything about threatening women with sexual violence.
I'm also not going to sit down and shut up with comments like "If threatening to chloroform and rape fellow students is just some joke to you..." Typical silencing tactic when challenged. FAIL!
I am sure they didn't want their shit talking to get out for this very reason. Can you blame them?

First of all these are incidents involving minors. Kids sometimes point their fingers at each other and go "bang" as well, they aren't prosecuted for that either.
If you bothered to watch all the video and the two subsequent videos, you would have seen that charges may still be filed in the Chandler School incident. At this point the 16 year old in question has been remanded to the custody of his parents but county attorneys are still investigating and charges could still be filed. Unfortunately it looks like this was a case of revenge for bulling and there may be more to this than meets the eye. An investigation that uncovers an emotionally distraught child doesn't necessary lead to criminal charges.
The second incident again involved minors and drawing a map and then drawing a bomb on it is not a credible threat, any more than the rape/threat accusations that the dental students are allegedly guilty of. As your link states; "no crime was committed".
Again, you don't get it and you are unable to make the distinction between real and credible threats and uncouth or inappropriate speech or behavior. This is what makes your ignorant kind so dangerous.
BTW, let's confine the discussion to credible threats, shall we? Otherwise we are playing around in your ignorant fantasy land version of the law.

Making threats that were received as threats of sexual violence violate the Criminal Code by their very nature. ac_rollseyes
So you posted all this shit which supports my claim. "He describes most of the posts as "foolish."" No where in there does Ryan mention anything about threatening women with sexual violence.
I'm also not going to sit down and shut up with comments like "If threatening to chloroform and rape fellow students is just some joke to you..." Typical silencing tactic when challenged. FAIL!
I am sure they didn't want their shit talking to get out for this very reason. Can you blame them?
This is over. No charges from the cops because no law was broken. If nothing was illegal, then it should be case closed. The Romeros of the world tried and convicted them in the biggest kangaroo court of all....the court of public opinion. A very dangerous thing to do.

When students make bomb threats, they are taken seriously but may not result in criminal charges.
Name one time where that ever happened.
I don't know how you mush headed Canadians view this but in the US, bomb threats are considered "terroristic threats" and are punishable under the law. I don't think in the past 25 years there has ever been an incident where someone making a bomb threat (student or otherwise) has been excused from prosecution.
How the hell can you make such a ludicrous statement and expect anyone to take it seriously. Get a clue you leftard dunce.
I said students, you said students, and I gave you two examples.
Most minors are charged, but when students make bomb threats, they are taken seriously but may not result in criminal charges.

No, it's the "court of progressive PC opinion". It's an opinion driven entirely along ideological lines and it is very dangerous to our personal liberties. Ignorance of this dangerous way of thinking by the Romeros of the world will lead to an Orwellian police state if we are not careful.

I never said there should have been charges. That's up to the police. I've only been saying that threatening violence and rape is wrong and I agree with the university taking disciplinary action.

Sure threatening violence and to rape someone is extremely wrong. I would expect anyone who truly feels threatened by either of those things to have the full protection of the law. That didn't happen here and that's been supported not only by the evidence you have provided, but by the evidence you seem to want to dance around.
I don't agree with a career sentence for making stupid comments in a private Facebook group. That is too stiff a penalty for lack of an actual crime.

Again, case closed because no crime was committed. If those students cannot graduate, they should really look into legal action against the university.

IMHO, it's a good possibility that wouldn't go anywhere. They plainly violated school policy and doing so they screwed up their chances at successful civil litigation.
Well that could be challenged Renee IMHO.

Really? I haven't followed this as closely as RW has, but I thought the university prez Richard Florizone acknowledged they were not a threat? What specific policy are they in violation of?

Nope, I never once said there should have been charges. I didn't have enough to make that judgement. I'm okay with the police's decision.
I've only argued that threatening violence and rape is wrong, and that the university was correct in taking disciplinary action. It's been my position from the start.

The University policy had a code of conduct which this behaviour would have been a breach of, which is why they have dealt with it.
I could argue it though.

Even though those young men did not actually threaten violence and rape, I am very uncomfortable with what they posted on Facebook..
If my son were to say something like that when he grows up, I would wonder where I went wrong when we teaching him good citizenship.

You should be uncomfortable with the institutionalized sexism in our society. You should be uncomfortable with how violence against women is celebrated by men.
Sorry but that is way too one sided for me.
How many women cheered when Lorraina Bobbit hacked off her husband's penis?

Dalhousie University is in turmoil after a baker's dozen cabal of future dentists got decidedly NSFW about a bunch of female classmates on Facebook. The remarks were lewd and crude to say the least.
But the healing progress has now begun with great ideas coming out of a "Forum on Misogyny." One female prof said the answer is to let women speak first in class. Another prof added that women of colour in particular should be at the front of the line.
So let's get this straight: they think that if a girl speaks before a guy in class he's less likely to post something rape culturey about her online? Moving on.

Women have been subjected to centuries of oppression in Canada. It seems only fair and reasonable to let women and especially minority women have a chance to speak on issues first before the rest of our patriarchal society.
