I think justice was served here.

I'm not saying it's right but im sure if you randomly searched a lot of those deliveroo drivers you'd be finding knives and other weapons on them. I'm sure they have no intention of using them but many will feel that their life is at risk in those areas and they have no choice. If I was doing the job myself and on my own in some of those areas I'd probably have something myself.

As far as the case goes, I think it's very difficult. I still don't really understand the events that transpired in detail despite reading a lot of the court reports. It's just very sad that the young lad died.

Or he carried the knife for the reason he said. Or he carried it in case he ended up in a bad situation not of his own making , which is common place now, and was outnumbered. Remember, his friend lost teeth and suffered a broken nose in the attack where they were outnumbered. And all because they were out trying to earn a living.

Josh Dune assaulted George Bento because George Bento defended himself and his friend from an attack by Josh Dunne's friends plus another man. If i was outnumbered like that and had a knife I would do the same and most others would too.

You seem to be forgetting that this was 3 on 2 assault which became 4 on 2 assault with other friends of the assailants waiting in the wings. Dublin is a dump full of feral gangs of kids who act like this with impunity because of a weak justice system.

We need to make parents way more responsible for the actions of their kids. Upto and including stopping any social welfare payments etc. Manners and respect cost nothing. These lads act like this because they know worst case scenario is they get a slap on the wrist. But someone fought back.

Look at Thiago Cortes. Look at the vigil his friends and colleagues held after his death and how they were treated.

Look at the lads who were harassing women in Howth which ended with one woman falling under the Dart. A slap on the wrist and the parents of one of them threatening to sue because the video footage was released. The women who they harassed should be given the names of the kids involved and then sue their families.

He had flights booked to Brazil a few days after the incident. He was a flight risk which would have been decided in court. Its not like he wasn't involved in the incident.

IMO this is how a justice system should work. His compensation should be for loss of earnings only at best.

The justice system clearly is broken, he will get a ton of money and he deserves it, all the money wasted in a case which clearly should have never gone to court, all the legal people got paid and the Gardai +DPP have being shown as being clearly incompetent on this one.

He was locked up for 18 months because of an incompetent legal system, how much did this case cost.

He was locked up for 18 months because his girlfriend booked flights to Brazil.

Of course there was a case but not MURDER.

But he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. The powers that be did everything right. A 16 year old kid is dead.
