    I do actually agree with this ex garda... the scum that walk away from a lot more serious assaults week in week out are far more deserving of jail time.

    He has a point. Not alone have these guards lost their jobs, but down the line, how many young wans working in Centra and Spar Deli Counters have now lost their positions too as a direct result of this.

    I agree that the scum get off too lightly, but It doesn't change my opinion on corrupt and criminal Gardaí one iota.

    Plenty other walks of life where you would lose your job. These guards feel immune from the law. The previous guard said that garda would be reluctant to get involved in altercations was a veiled threat. If guards aren't up to their job or are afraid to do it then they should leave it.
    Some of them are not up to it and there should be at least a fitness test required every year. Some guards I see around town are obese.

    Fair enough what this shop owner says but if you apply to be in the guards; surely you know you will be dealing with scumbags?

    During the Obama visit it was like the fat controller had been released! Every guard I seen looked liked they hadn't been out from behind their desk in 20 years.

    Nor mine. But 12 months is perhpas disproportionate compared to other such actual harmful assaults.

    Shopkeeper has a point... didn't we have him or one of his staff on in the past though? Guy across from Amiens St station?

    The problem is Ivy that many of them apply to the guards because it's seen as a safe and secure job. I agree with you though, what do they expect? I've seen guards deliberately avoid trouble.

    No prosecutions for petty crime though are the fault of the judiciary not the cops, to be fair...it has to be hard to do all that work bringing shoplifters to court to see them wandering out giving you the fingers... I wouldn't do it.

    It's not voluntary work they are doing. Dealing with little scumbags is an occupational hazzard.This is what you sign up for when you join.

    Has Joe contacted anybody in the judiciary about these disproportionate punishments?

    Of course not, why would he?

    You should make someone an offer...considering the ongoing structural problems, you'd probably get it for a song.
