    Absolutely no sympathy for the scumbag in question. He was out looking for trouble and he found it.

    Only issue that I have is that the others seem to have escape uninjured.

    It baffles me that people are sympathetic towards this thug. Frankly my sympathy and concern lies with the Garda and his family. His wife and children must be terrified.

    Where did you see sympathy?

    Probably talking about my thread title re "tragic". If he was 16 I still stand by it. There was plenty of time to turn his life around if help was given to him.

    There is also a mother/father somewhere that has lost their son.

    Despicable behaviour, terrible outcome.

    if they has made sure that he did not go around doing this stuff then i would feel deep sorrow for them, it looks as if they had failed or had never tried.

    The kid was definitely in the wrong. No question. Whether you consider it "acting the eejit" or a serious crime, he wasn't in the right!

    But the seeming joy people are taking in telling everyone that t hey have no sympathy for this boy who DIED!! is absolutely sickening.

    He was a young boy. Whole life ahead of him. maybe he was a little terror or a scum bag but there's nothing to say he couldn't have become a perfectly respectable adult. He is DEAD and everyone is acting like he got what he deserved because someone, not even proven to be him, threw a bottle at someone?

    A few people in this thread really need to look themselves in the mirror!

    No sympathies and have no need to look at myself in the mirror
    Society will be better off without him
    Shame the other 3 are still around to carry out more trouble in the future

    All you know about this kid is that he was outside a house in a group where someone threw a bottle and you are saying he deserved to die?

    You see nothing wrong with that?

    I know this adult (over 18) was in a group who went to vandalize a person house and who then assault that person.
    Tough luck to whatever happens to them after that.

    Does it not strike anyone as unlikely that someone would become separated from the rest, trip and hurt themselves, then fall into a river or stream and drown?

    Huh? Sure they apparently all scattered. Seems logical and likely enough. No need to read conspiracy theories into it really.

    There is no guarantee thats what happened. The papers are dying to print something so they are happy to print first impressions.

    However that scenario does not seem to far fetched.

    No way of knowing for sure what happened but I hope the Garda didn't do anything he could get in trouble for and that it was just instant karma.

    Of the outcomes I can think of from running through a marshy field, death is probably the most unlikely.

    Really, ZERO sympathy?????
    Are you a cop?

    No it doesn't. The usual antics of cowards. No problem attacking a family home but when confronted run like the little cowardly scum they are.
    You reap what you sow.

    You don't get out much do you

    My apologies, I didn't realise you knew them personally. I can only presume you do. How else would you know their situation.

    Inverteetd brackets are used to quote someone. who are you quoting. I certainly didn't say he was a good lad. I did and do say he didn't deserve to die.

    Where did any report say he went to a house to vandalize it. They were acting the maggot outside someone's show who just happened to be a guard and an altercation which occurred with the group went wrong.

    They were being chased, they seem to have separated. He tripped and fell.

    You say this as if he was targeted yet it seems to have just been coincidence.

    A group acting the maggot does not make you a scumbag. I would guess your no doctor either or at least I hope your not.

    I wonder would all the people saying he deserved to die say it openingly in a group or are they all just key board warriors

    Yes I was discussing it openly at lunch time with people and the majority agreed with me. So no issue here stating my feelings in public.
