Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

He's not fit to be on the streets considering he doesn't have the ability to stop hassling the school. He and his family have no issue with him spending the next 40-50 years behind bars rather than purge contempt. I said it before but the mindset of this family hasn't been seen in the Irish court system before. When you have people willing to spend their entire lives in prison when they can get out within the hour if they want, and having their family totally support that, I find that quite scary. It's the mindset of extremists. You can see how much they are convinced of the injustice. There is no sign that they would become violent but when you have individuals with this level of an extreme mindset, I always have it in the back of my mind. I'm glad the chap is behind bars and the way I see it, the courts have to stand firm this time. You can't give these people any leeway. He wants to be in the Joy, grand - let him languish there. Leave the reporting to gutter scumrags like grift.

This is exactly what I thought as I read through the latest.

Sure, he hasn't the proverbial pot to p--s in.

Trespass as per the sign is a civil matter. The trespass as per the current injunction is a criminal matter (contempt of court).

The sign doesn't change anything except the school indicating they will sue trespassers.

Thanks. I looked for info online if trespass at the school following the erection of the sign was criminal or civil offence and the law pages didn't make it clear, only mentioning it as being in civil law. That covers a multitude.

No, its a finding of civil contempt for disobeying Court orders. He would not have a conviction.

He has not committed any sort of crime, but ignoring orders of the Court, injunctions and so on, will definitely land you in prison eventually.

Civil Law and the orders of Courts apply to everyone, all the time. Burke would want to cop on to this soon, before he is left to rot indefinitely and people forget about him.

Could the school not put a sign like this up.

There must be grounds for dismissal due to gross misconduct / insubordination at this stage rather than this indefinite suspension.

There's a thin line between what he has and mental illness. He's been brain washed into thinking the way he does. In someways a mental hospital might be a better location for him.

Note: I'm not saying he should be in a hospital. Like I said there's a thin line there and I'm pretty certain that he hasn't crossed it. Plus there's an argument that a sane person can hold insane ideas. Also I'm not a mental health professional. So I definitely couldn't diagnose.

We have to start thinking of this as if he's a religious radical.

If his religion was Islam I think we would be treating this very differently. Some countries have a prevent system in place. In the UK It's used for anyone with extreme views. Right or left wing, Religious extremists or even sexist views.

They bang on about their own rights but never think of the rights of everyone else.

With rights comes responsibilities.

As I said in my other post there would be a small chance of success.

Your suggestion that there might be a difference between the "private Enoch" and the "public Enoch" perhaps offers some hope of dialogue.
