    Just lost for words on this one. What kind of inbred, dole scrounging scumbag contemplates this? I think we've hit a new low.


    How do you know the people who did this were on the dole or do you like generalising 40000 thousand plus people :confused:

    the sad thing about that is if the people responsible get caught... they get off with a suspended sentence.

    i really wish the government would abolish suspended sentences and keep the scum locked up like they should be.

    the criminal dont fear the law here cos they know they will get off with a feckin suspended sentence

    You'd have to be a right scumbag to go and do something as callous as that.

    The small granite plaque was broken and a piece of it was placed on the bonnet of a car owned by a brother of the late garda's girlfriend

    sounds personal ^^^


    anyways hope they catch the scum who did this and OP take it easy on the unemployed ffs nobody knows who did it yet, maybe it was one of the scumbags who go to work monday to friday and get pissed on a saturady night and act the bollix

    No worries, I'm sure anyone stupid enough to do something like this has already bragged about it all over town.
    It's just a waiting game before one of his mates informs the gardai.

    Ah but he originally said "40,000 thousand". So it's actually 40,000,000 people. Unemployment in Ireland is in a much worse place than originally feared :(

    i think it is quite obvious who is responsible for this, for anyone who knows the backstory.
    And if i can put 2 and 2 together 5000 miles away, id hope that the gardai in letterkenny have the abacus out and are ready to crack some skulls

    I was more pissed off that the guy that killed the guard was in an open detention center
    WTF
    I feel bad for the family. I hope the guards look into any fights that the brother got into.

    What was the vandal hoping to achieve by doing this?
    Probably a knuckle dragging ape with no intelligence & no hope of a future. Basically the kind of person society is better off without.

    Who gives a toss about the dole comment? Its been taken out of context far too much lately, i wish people werent so sensitive over it.

    Also this country seems to hit a new low every week, i just stopped caring a long time ago.

    Finally: Isnt it like 25 degrees in Ireland right now? Everyone go outside and stop whinging or ill bate ya! :mad:

    What's not stupid and unnecessary about it so, seeing as you've no idea whatsoever whether the perpetrator was in employment at the time or not?

    Can't believe this is descending into debate over whether the culprit works or claims dole, move past that and think about his family.

    The insult "dole scrounger" died out a few years back when a quarter of the population were forced to sign on the fcukin thing.

    You been under living under that plaque that was vandalised OP ?

    You've got it backwards. The op is generalising scumbags, not dole claimers. Most scumbags are on some kind of social welfare but that doesn't mean that most social welfare recipients are scumbags.

    As to the story itself, I think it's a pretty sickening act but I'm disappointed in the lack of outrage too, especially when you combine this story with the one of his killer being in minimum security and just walking out. Poor lad gave his life trying to help people and this is how his memory is treated.

    In a country where most are unemployed through no fault of their own. I'm equally lost for words, reading the incredibly ridiculous assumptions made in that post. There are plenty of scumbags who are fully employed. In fact the greatest category of scumbag out there, can be found 'running' and mismanaging the Irish banking sector.
