. Absolutely disgusting attack on that young man in a so called civilized Society , lock the culprit up, he doesn’t deserve to be free on the streets.
Agreed but unfortunately he won’t get locked up. Probably go to court they’ll announce he has over fifty previous convictions and then hand him down a nice little suspended sentence.
Suspended sentence = street credibility & new pair of nike runners from mammy & daddy
…and a social worker,a JLO,a family “support” worker…
Very busy place on Sunday/ Monday. There was a teen in the care of Tulsa found dead same spot same time. Wonder if the journal journalists noticed this or just copied and pasted the gardai press releases?
Age and social backround will have that little vermin bragging to his friends rather than serving a sentence. The system is broke and needs serious fixing. It’s the innocent people that are coming out worse in these type of situations.
He wont go to prison. He’ll turn on the tears in court, say how he had a rough upbringing, problems with drugs and alcohol and all thet rubbish. Judge will give a suspended sentence he skips out of court laughing. And we wont know who this animal is because he’s a minor. Irish justice don’t make me laugh
Ah you could print his defence now… Troubled background… Broken home… Very repentant… And some pathetic judge will buy it. Sickening. When’s the minister for justice going to act??
Minister of Justice? All she does is act….
Dame lane is a poxy spot for this, can’t enjoy a pint outside Sweeneys, the Mecantile or the bankers without being hassled for money every two minutes or a gang of p*icks knocking around with a bag of bottles looking to start a fight
There are gangs of these little scrotes running around the city center, robbing and attacking people. There’s no system set up to deal with these kids except a slap on the wrist and maybe a JLO.
Teenagers parents should probably be taken to task also.
Those feral lads and lassies have been doing this for months. Now that it’s a serious injury something is being done…….until legal aid step in and soft soap a judge
I wouldnt walk those streets at 1am….
Yep, for sure it is the victim’s fault.
In fact they need to lock him up and leave this poor innocent 16-year old alone.
“I” …..Capital “I”…as in I wouldnt…
Disgusting little s(umbag
And the skum bag will probably never see a prison cell!
Some people should have been aborted to save us all the trouble!
poor oul fitzgerald living in cuckoo land
has’nt a clue but then she is probably in her bed by 1am
have your say
