    If they are caught, whats going to happen anyway.
    F'in scumbags have more rights than ordinary folk. Whats the bets that the scumbags if caught have 40 convictions between them.
    But hey at least the judges and parasite lawyers have a job due to repeat business.

    Hope the poor girl gets better,

    Brave 'men' allright attacking a defenceless women for the third time. If its true that they stabbed her with a syringe this is beyond scary. These scum are trying to prove themselves above the law and need to be removed from society for a very long time.

    Would imagine if her husband is an armed detective they will be keeping him away from this investigation because I can only see one outcome if he gets to confronts them

    The scum that did this need to be knee capped.

    A member of the Gardai. Which i fear is the main reason why this poor lady has been targeted by this scum. A very sad case and we can only hope the animals are caught and have to spend a good few hours in a lock up in the company of a few gardai armed with bars of soap wrapped in towels.


  • Registered Users Posts: 467 ✭✭17larsson


    The husband must be absolutely seething with rage at this stage. I can't imagine how much he must want to catch these ****ers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    The Gardai seemingly have no power here.
    After a 3rd time, they must know who's involved here but don't have the resources to properly chase these scum.
    The criminals are one step ahead in this country.
    What ever must that poor woman be thinking.

    Total scumbags the two who broke in.

    After 2 break ins would they not have upped the security system a bit?

    If my wife got assaulted twice at home I'd be knowing if a mouse farted in my house.

    Yeah bring back the heavy gang, lets just throw the rule of law out the window and engage in uniformed vigilatism! Why not just abolish the Gardai all together if your idea of justice is to resort to illigallity itself?

    If there were a few more accidents in Garda custody it might just might now cut down on the amount of street crime of this vile nature. Scum like that only understand the power of the fist.

    Maybe that is why he's wife is now been targetted? To even up a few of these accidents that happen in custody!

    Three things:
    I agree they are scumbags.
    The "rule of fist" is illegal and those who would use it are as bad as those who in your veiw deserve it.
    Once the state engages in allowing people to be assaulted by the Gardai then you can be certain that such power will be used on innocent people too, as many recent cases have shown.

    So what would you suggest?? Bring the lads in for tea and biscuits in front of a nice warm fire to talk about where they have went wrong in life and how to fix all their problems?? Wake up and smell the coffee in the real world the country is full of scum who would do harm to innocent people for the price of a two liter.

    Fairly serious accusation. Don't suppose you can back it up?

    Many gardai are harassed at home and off duty and its nothing to do with accidents, it's simply because of them doing their job.

    I would suggest that the Gardai apprehend them, that they are brought before the courts and are sentenced in accordance with the law.
    You need to accept the rule of law and forget about your kangaroo courts before you end up in one because of mistaken identity!
    i for one have no wish to live in a state where a person in uniform is permitted to assault me because they dont like the look of me!

    I was replying to the poster that suggested a few guys get dragged in and have an ' accident' while in custody. If this is how the guards deal with things, it would not surprise me if people took revenge.

    Not saying its the case here.

    Id be worried if the poster that posted that reply is a guard!

    To be fair that is one of the main problems the soft sentences that are dished out. I also would not worry about the gardai not liking the look of you and dragging you in as they know the scuts who cause the trouble and not the honest law abiding citizens.

    Same as any woman's husband would do, looking out for his wife and yes human nature will make him want to kick the **** out of those responsible.

    I don't think that finding motive for these knuckledraggers is going to be very productive. The mental processing behind these attacks wouldn't stretch much beyond me bash lady again.

    WTF is going on here.

    It seems that the scum who carried this out think they can get away with anything.

    What is going in the cut back in public funding for policing, and that criminals know it.

    All that whining people did about what a waste of space the police/doctors/nurses/teachers are actually has consequences. People voted for this.

    If it was your wife attacked in your home for the third time would you be so reasonable though?

    I would want to kill them probably, but I am not a guard.
    If, and it is a big if, some gardai cant do their job without breaking the law the should leave or be sacked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    The poor woman needs to get herself a gun or a few of them and shout without warning Anyone who enters her house from now on.

    Her husband is a detective, maybe he's pissing off a lot of scumbag retarded criminals on the area???

    She's the woman who is a personal friend of Edna Kenny. Do you think he'll do anything about it? Will he fuck!

    If they are caught the judge will go mad on them and sentence them to 6 months in jail with the final 3 months suspended.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Cedrus


    Hmm.. that's an interesting way of putting it. She needs to 'cop on' and stop inviting attackers? That's a bit like saying 'provocative clothing invites sexual assault'.

    It's nothing like saying that. I hope you were drunk when you posted that because it is as asinine thing to say.
    You highlighted the parts of my post that you chose to read but the key part was the THREE TIMES. Also I said NOTHING about inviting attackers. According to news reports the alarm was not set the first two times.
    First Time
    Second Time
    I don't know if she had set it this time but I do know that when a neighbour was broken into, I immediately put new door bolts on all doors, a chain and a spyhole on the front door and changed the alarm code. There does not seem to be any mention of this poor woman doing the same.
    I wouldn't have thought it takes much wit to point and shoot... more like eyes and hands.
    In light of the alarm situation I meant that she probably wouldn't be the person pointing it.

    Why would that be their suggestion? Is it only a case of police assault or the above and no other alternative?

    And that is the sad reality of this case. Should they be caught and one happens to trip, fall and break their neck. Then it would save a lot of taxpayers money.


    Criminals are laughing in the faces of cops these days and this event is just rubbing it in at this stage.

    Do people realize that its the courts that is one of the main problems here, besides the socio-economic impact, its a money maker for lawyers, judges, social welfare officers, phycologists etc....

    A fcukin mini industry with repeat customers offenders, working within the confines of the law, and being masked by the very law its supposed to uphold.
    And who's going to rock the boat to say what I say, when plenty of people are involved in making money out of this?

    I predict within a year another cop will be shot, I hope to fcuk Im wrong.

    You highlighted the parts of my post that you chose to read but the key part was the THREE TIMES. Also I said NOTHING about inviting attackers. According to news reports the alarm was not set the first two times.
    First Time
    Regina Sweeney was getting ready to close up The Elegant Touch bridal boutique at herself and her husband’s house at Corheens, Breaffy just before 5pm when she heard a smashing noise downstairs.

    Was she supposed to preempt the attack and close early? No fault of hers at all here.
    Second Time
    They rang the doorbell and Ms Sweeney opened the door to see two men standing there in balaclavas, who then led her into her home and tied her up.

    In all fairness she's trying to run a business and was probably of the mind that she was safe considering they wouldn't have the cheek to return.

    I get what you're saying but I think it's not as cut-and-dried as you think.

    I withdraw my 'responsibility for rape' analogy in light of your explanations.

    Open verdict.

    I wouldn't object to her having one, but she could easily freeze in panic. She's bound to be terrified, she's not Chuck Norris. I reckon a couple of angry rottweilers would be better.

    She seems like a feisty lady if you read the first link above. I reckon she'd have little problem using a handgun.

    I do think licences to carry a firearm should be allowed for people at risk if the person is deemed a responsible adult.

    My heart goes out to that poor couple, their hearts must be broken dealing with this ****.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,705 ✭✭✭✭Tigger


    This happened a few hundred meters from my business
    I saw the garda transit connect and then the support unit screaming down the road but again the scum were gone
    Broad daylight office hours and the garda were acually nearer than usual as they were investigating an arson attack at the n5 roundabout
    Poor Regina was taken away by ambulance
    I find it hard to believe they know who is doing this and anyone who thinks that rough justice wouldn't be fair in this case dosent really understand that the ultimate political power is violence
    the fundamental law of nature, man being to be preserved as much as possible, when all cannot be preserved, the safety of the innocent is to be preferred: and one may destroy a man who makes war upon him, or has discovered an enmity to his being, for the same reason that he may kill a wolf or a lion; because such men are not under the ties of the commonlaw of reason, have no other rule, but that of force and violence, and so may be treated as beasts of prey, those dangerous and noxious creatures, that will be sure to destroy him whenever he falls into their power.

    Been a busy night in the West.............


    Gardaí are investigating following an aggravated burglary at the parochial house in Caherlistrane.


    Four men broke into the house beside the church of Mary Immaculate and St. Joseph sometime between 9 and 10pm last night, and tied up parish priest Fr. Patrick O'Brien.


    The gang ransacked the house for over an hour, before making off with a small amount of cash.


    After they fled, Fr. O'Brien managed to escape and raised the alarm at a neighbours house.


    He was not seriously injured, but is understood to be traumatised by the incident.


    Tuam Gardaí are investigating and are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the Caherlistrane area in the past few days to contact them.

    Any "cop" who takes the law into his/her own hands is as much a criminal as anyone else who commits an assault.
    I am at a complete loss to see how social welfare officers come to be involved in this at all.
