They really need to start treating these people with the contempt they deserve. A good beating seams to be the only discipline they might understand.
The story didn’t say it was a break in. I thought he was a resident in house or a relative etc. Different story to defending and rightly so against some robbing baxterd
An eye for an eye
And perhaps you will also note I did not mention “break in” either.
He better get at least a 4 month suspended sentence. That’ll learn him!
Yet another home invasion. Only last week a couple in St.Louis, a father shot dead an intruder and injured another that entered their home (The thugs has used his teenage daughter as a shield.) I guess they won’t be getting the chance to do that to another family again. But Irish media including the Journal will never report on those type of stories.
That Cahir place is gone to the dogs!
Ladies and gentlemen, the youth of today
I heard he was 22
Ah, what a movie. Mel, come back to us!!!!!
have your say
