    Criminals especially violent youths know they won’t get the punishment they deserve. Too few prison places and the government don’t care about such crime as it seldom affects them.

    When a public protest is planned then there are lots of Gardai and security for the so-called servants of the people.

    Whats needed is some form of institution that combines corporal punishment with education and strict discipline that will make them less likely to reoffend we could get christian brothers and gay priests to run them,

    I presume Breda O’ Brien and other anti-abortionists see half a dozen youths beating someone up and pine for the fact that there would have been 8 or 9 if women were forbidden to go abroad for an abortion as Yahweh intended.

    There’s a growing section of young people who believe they can behave this way and it’s all down to bad parenting.

    Sure cork is just a town! No doubt they’ll know someone, who knows someone who’s related to both parties involved.

    This man is a friend of mine and he is such a kind and friendly fella. Very bright too! It makes me ill thinking about him being so savagely attacked. Just saw him today and his face is still swollen and bruised but he was cheerful.
