Garda activity at the old Delmege Estate

The "boyz" probably have better vests than the regular boys in blue, their ones are bulky sweaty cheap yokes apparently. The ARU probably have decent ones.

It's a strange crime for seemingly a casual oppurtunistic crime. He must have realised once there was still a kid in the car everything would be done to find the car. Far easier cars to steal you'd think.

Oh well, he'll be going back to prison and off the streets for another spell, hard lines.

It is indeed very strange occurrence.
Lets hope for a change the actual charges are inline with actually happened.Threating children,kidnapping,putting the life of a child in danger and driving dangerously also carjacking.And run them one after the other,rather then incorporating them into one sentence :rolleyes: As if they are selling a bargain in a furniture store.
Have we even got a set amount of years for car jacking rather then car theft.

The really bad ones have no respect for life or property. Sense doesn't even enter the equation.

Looks like Ireland has no longer immunity from that **** either

Actually it is the third or fourth time a car with a kid still in it has been taken in Munster in the last 12 months. In each case a parent ran into a shop leaving the keys and kid in the car parked outside.

It happened twice in county Tipperary last year with the most recent of them being the little child that was in a car that was taken in Thurles and found in Nenagh if my memory serves correct.

Think there was a similar case somewhere in the Newport neck of the woods with a car taken with a kid in the back.

Sad pathetic life they lead thinking that is something to be proud of.

The really bad ones arent trying to be noticed in the sense of taking a car that will be noticed right away, especially with a child still in the car.
For Ireland crime wise that is one of the most bizarre ones i ever heard of.
I know they have no respect for life no ones,but i do know they are not thick enough to rob a car with people in it so they are already on the radar.
He sounds like an odd ball.

I'm not for one minute trying to say that the parent deserved this ordeal but seriously, a drop of cop on would go a long way!

Would agree, should never leave kids unsupervised in a car. Only takes an instant for a serious disaster to occur.

Really i recall only one occasion and that was some teenager who didnt see a child in the car and drove off.But never knew of others Thats disgusting.
What is wrong with Ireland today.
What was it the old school bosses said in a quote once.
Something along the lines of" we will be considered pussy cats to the future criminals in Ireland".They dont know how right they were.
If i recall was the general who said that.

I disagree with you. I don't leave my house unlocked for a reason. I have heard this happen before (recently) in Dublin, pretty much the same scenario as what happened earlier, except it was in a petrol station.

I only saw a woman do it last week in a shop in Raheen. She went into the shop and left the kids in the car. I could easily have been a psycho paedo in the car opposite waiting to pounce, but she didn't take that into account....

To be honest, leaving your car running and going into a shop is stupid enough, but leaving your kids in it takes it to another level.

This wasn't an auld country shop we were talking about with nobody around except the shop owners dog. It was in a built up area, which was busy apparently...

Maybe she was late for work and had no time to turn off the car engine and bring the kids into the shop. Maybe she just couldn't be bothered doing it. Maybe.....

But she'll have learned her lesson the hard way anyways....

It was actually the Dunne scum in Dublin that made the quote and it was
"if you think we are bad, wait till you see what is coming after us."

At the risk of a reprimand here, but I personally would have handed the Garda in question his medal of valour if he had went for a head shot. When the Gardai start taking a few more of these scumbags out they wont be as bravado.

Am I the only the one who thinks that leaving a 12 year old and a 9 year old in a car is standard enough thing if your literally running in to the shop for a minute? Maybe not the 3 year, but under supervision of the other 2 maybe?
Seriously like, a 12 year old is border line secondary school/babysitter age.
I dont think she should be slated at all for leaving them there. I remember waiting in cars for 5 mins here and there when I was young(and believe me my mother is a worrier)

I can understand leaving them in the car, it's the engine running is what I find alarming :eek:

It was on page 1 news, and had some headline "gardai shoot at hijacked car with kids inside", then went on to contradict what they has as a head line

Here is the story though:

"Armed gardai opened fire after a man hijacked a car which had three children inside waiting for their mother."

Leaving them in the car fine, leaving them in a car with the engine running is mental. What happens if they are fighting over the radio or climbing around like kids do and one knocked it into gear and it shot off into a pedestrian walking by?

I feel bad leaving a dog in a car. Leaving young kids in a car like that is wrong in my opinion. Leaving them in it with the engine running is just plain thick.
Some people shouldn't be allowed have children.

phog

Are we so acustomed to crime that when a story breaks of a serious crime that it descends into how can the innocent party be so foolish to have allowed it happen? :eek:

I still dont get how we know she left the engine running.Did i miss that in the news report?

A car had been left outside the shop with the engine running and three young children inside.

http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0120/limerick.html

The car was taken from outside Centra at Woodview Shopping Centre on the Old Cratloe Road at 9.15am, after a woman left the keys in the ignition while she went into the store. Two boys and a girl, aged 3, 9 and 12, remained in the car.

Thanks i missed that part.
Mistake she will have to give herself a good thinking to for.I know not a person in world who would get out of car leaving engine running and doors open with kids in car.Could have cost her dearly.
A minutes lapse in judgement is all it took there.
She is blessed all her children and everyone else was not harmed.

Why you include Holland ? Holland is far more civilised than Ireland, With lower violence rates ...

One good reason to not leave your car unlocked with the engine running. Another good reason not to actually leave your babies in it!!:eek:

I reckon fair play to the Garda for having the balls to actually fire two shots.
(and being controlled enough to only need to fire 2 and not get anyone killed)
Its shows the guns are not there for show! and they still show restraint when
they do have to use them.

Yer man that was arrested is due in the District court this afternoon.
I'm just waiting for the usual drivel seeing lines like:
...granted free legal aid, history of drug problems, father for 7 kids from 3 different women, one million previous convictions, The Judge will hand out
a 3 year sentence with the last 2 years 11 months suspended etc etc
