    A nasty thing for those involved but You would think such things never happen anywhere.



    There was a man hacked to death last night so compare the two crimes

    It doesn’t matter about the car as long as the baby is safe.

    The guy came at them with a knife while they were in the car. Why were the doors not locked?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    What next? Someone will be murdered, and then where are we? Drive-by shootings in the night, it'll be like "Boyz N The Hood" and we'll have whores selling their wares on the street and the pimps will be using crack to keep the whores under control, I'm going now to lock myself in the basement until they catch that fella.

    Man who exited the car and left his baby behind should be ashamed of himself. Show a little fight.

    Baffles me that people don't lock their feckin doors.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,246 ✭✭✭judeboy101


    I hope that scumbag is caught and given a long long suspended sentence.


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


    Amazing how people seem to know the full facts of this already and feel right to serve judgement...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Fiery mutant

    My car locks the doors automatically when the car starts to move. I bought that would have been the case with most new cars.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Giving the baby back would surely get them a suspended sentence

    Martin Nolan is on the case as we speak.

    Why dont people remember this and other horrible crimes when next politicians come knocking on the door looking or votes.


    if you want law and order and a safer Ireland then apply pressure to the gombeens asshats who make the laws and finance the enforcement of them.

    You think this isn't going on right now, but with heroin.

    Will everyone be assigned a member of the gardai to be with them at all times?

    properly enforced laws and punishments for dangerous criminals to protect the rest of us from them

    well resourced police force with judicial and political support

    Lock up criminals and you wont need a garda to hold your hand

    It certainly looks like an insurance scam.

    You mean internal affairs were in on it the whole time?

    Ah yes. Judicial support.

    Sure all that you need for that is to vote for a politician and the judiciary will suddenly start applying proper sentences.

    If only someone had said it was that straightforward.

    Political interference in the judiciary is exactly why there are lenient sentences being given out.

    Lack of jail cells to send them to also probably affects this?

    That's exactly it. If judges started sending people to prison properly there would be a crisis in the prison system followed very shortly after with a political crisis. Solicitors will always have enough criminal cases to be getting on with, especially any firm with any clout and to think anyone gives two ****s about relatively newly qualified JC's is laughable.

    correct and political interference in policing too
    which is why the gardai spend more time producing stats and than providing an actual policing service

    Imagine a police force that wasn't subject to the whims of the government and ministers of the day.

    politicians who had to worry about staying within the laws themselves might just be a good thing dont you think ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,268 ✭✭✭✭uck51js9zml2yt


    Another reason to lock your doors while driving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,684 ✭✭✭✭Samuel T. Cogley


    Something I don't get, not necessarily in this case, but generally if you watch these dash cam road rage clips like I do because of lack of anything better to do is you're in a 2 ton hunk of metal; I'd park on the mofo. I know you're likely to get done for it but I'll take my chances with a jury if my kid was in the back.
