scummers lighting wheelie bins

swingking

Just heard on the news that some low life lit a wheelie bin and is has ended up with the death of an elderly woman.

I have heard of this happening but it seems now that someone has lost their life . Apparently, the flames from the bin lit a car which caused a house fire.

These pieces of sh1t should be done for manslaughter. Anyone caught in doing this should be done for attempted murder

Last week here in Kilkenny, a block of apartments had to be evacuated in the middle of the night after some skangers set a bin on fire, and the bin was about a foot away from a gas mains. Apparently its a regular occurance around apartment blocks here in the past few weeks. These fúcking idiots seriously must have no concept of what they are doing, and the serious potential for loss of life where fire is concerned, as was seen in Clonmel today. Some gobshítes have an innocent womans death on their conscience, I just hope they are "big enough" to admit what they have done.

never really see it happening around my area (despite plenty of scummers), but it's pretty f'ing stupid alright.

a prank that went terribly wrong, the woman was very unlucky. RIP

She wasnt unlucky. Luck had nothing to do with some idiot setting fire to her bin.

the scumbag lit the bin, the flames from the bin unluckily hit the car, the car exploded and once again unlucky that the flames spread to the house,and then unlucky that she couldnt get out

The flames didnt unluckily hit the car. Fire by nature can be unpredictable, and therefore no-brain scumbag didnt think about a petrol filled vehicle sitting next to said wheelie bin before lighting it up. Its luck that her husband survived.

Deliberate property damage by arson. No way that is a prank.

A few generations ago people as young as five were hanged for setting fires because of the danger. Something like one in a thousand of us will die in a fire.

timwex that is one of the most heartless comments i have ever heard. why didn't the scummer set fire to some bin somewhere in the middle of nowhere so he wouldn't be making others 'unlucky'?

Ahh, because he was a classic Elm Park, Clonmel scumbag and you don't get wheelie bins in the middle of nowhere.

The only unlucky thing about this is that the scumbag was born in the first place.

I had to call the fire brigade at 3am because of something similiar in my estate a few months back. As well as burning bins which were close to cars, they also set fire to a skip in a neighbouring driveway... *Luckily* the fire brigade arrived quickly...

A couple of weeks back here in Carlow town some scumbags started setting light to wheelie bins on there way home from the pub/club it seems. Bins werent enough for them and they resorted then to setting light to 5 cars which where completely gutted!!

These little scumbags and lowlife have become a big problem around here recently, you do be half afraid that you'll have your car set alight! God bless them, sure they're bored and modern society has them this way........the little darlings! I only hope they'll cross the wrong fella that'll kick the s%^t out of them and teach them a lesson!!

This was no "prank". It was a mindless act performed by someone with no respect for the property or lives of others. They set light to a wheelie bin in a heavily populated area for God's sake.

I knew this woman. I was in college with her, although doing a different course. I still can't believe that this has happened. She was one of the nicest people you could ever meet and had been working really hard on her leaving cert. So close to completing it too. This was such an unfair, horrible thing to happen. May she rest in peace. God love her poor husband.

Your unlucky when you lose at cards or football. Being burnt alive in your own home is horrifying.

The moron who set fire to that wheelie bin is ultimately responsible for that
womans death and should get time if caught, which i hope he is.

Very sad. Her husband must be devastated. I think the fcukers should be charged with murder, not manslaughter.

Don't be bloody ridiculous

Terrible loss of life, hopefully they're charged with something over this (if they're found out)

Dear god! A bit too much knee-jerking here for my liking

Chucky the tree

attempted murder and murder?


get a ****ing grip.

seamus

"Murder" would imply an intention to kill. It would be tough to prove in court that a piece of **** lighting up a wheelie bin was setting out to kill someone.

Manslaughter would still apply though.

This is one of those things that makes me want someone to litter half of the country with CCTV. I only hope that the poor woman had passed out or suffocated before the flames got to her

finbarrk

Does anybody know if anyone has been pulled in over it?

Indo journalism at its best maybe... The car was left in gear and when it burned the engine kicked and moved the car forward. Quite common for this to happen apparently.
Apparently the bedroom window was left open and acted as a chimney, pulling the flames straight up.

Not that I'm aware of though they have found what could be important evidence.


Unfortunately thats just Clonmel for you. Its gone from bad to worse in this town to the extent that I don't even go near the town since I came back home... I've lived in Limerick, London and Dublin and I'd feel safer going out in any of those places than Clonmel.

London, San Fran and Paris here and I feel the same way about Clonmel. Pity really....

the stupidity of what this is incredible. I sincerely hope they get whatever mindless prick that done it.

Savman

Don't be surprised if the "mindless prick" or the "scummer" is 12yo. What then?
Something similar happened recently on me Ma's road, noone injured but serious damage done and it was one 12yo and one 14yo out "dossing" at 3am :eek:
Mammy and Daddy Scummer, please stand up.

Merrick

I wouldn't be surprised if the culprits were 12 or so either.
About 2 or 3 weeks ago, a mini-scumbag set fire to a garage on my street. Luckily *ahem* there was nobody in the house, and a neighbour called the fire brigade before it spread to the house. The firemen said that if it had reached their patio, the whole house would have gone.

Idbatterim

What happened almost makes me want to get sick, the scum should simply be charged with manslaughter and made an example of. If I were a family member and i knew who did it id be tempted to douse the scum in petrol and throw a match at him. Your life would be so screwed up, I probably wouldnt care about the consequences.

Idbatterim

also, if the bins were made out of light steel, rather than plastic that would be a help. atleast only what was inside could burn.

The last I heard there were four suspects. But I don't know how true that is.

Yeah, that would be a good idea though I'd say cost (moneywise) will be the determining factor. It would also cut down on a craze that seems to rather popular in some parts where I'm living, where wheelie bins are set on fire so as to get a 'high' from inhaling the fumes.

Capt'n Midnight

Metal bins rust.
Unless you get thick galvanised steel and that's expensive.

Reduce the age for prison admission to 12?

F*ck them. They deserve it.

I Once got the Nitelink back to my house in Maynooth after a night out in town. Thought i could get a burning smell in the house so had a quick look around, plugged out all the electrical applicances and went to bed. The next morning i decided to go for a cycle and went out to the garden shed to get my bike. The shed had been deliberately burnt to the ground and all that remained was the burnt out shell of the lawnmower and my bike :eek: The neighbours PVC door had melted as well and their windows all cracked. Apparently i had just missed the Fire Brigade and Gardai the night before after getting off the nitelink.

Mr.Nice Guy

Nothing would happen to these scumbags if they were caught. A slap on the wrist is all they'd get from our justice system. That's why these pricks do this sort of thing. They don't fear the consequences.

Now is a great time for the political parties to step up and make crime a top priority for the forthcoming election.

I hear they've arrested 6 people in their 20's/30's so hopefully they'll be able to do them for something.

Is anyone else flabbergasted at the ages of these tossers ?
If anyone was collared for this, I was expecting a few scumbag 15 year olds to be the culprits....but 20's and 30's ??

I know scumbagginess (yes, it is a word - I just invented it) comes in all ages and sizes, but Jesus....how effing moronic do you have to be to do something like that at that age ???

Its called alcohol, the piss heads were probably on their way back from Wifey MacBeaties Nightclub, pissed as farts. Thats what happens where I live anyway. If they can't pick a fight, the break something instead. Its an old Irish tradition that dates back to at least the early 90's.

But yeah it really is incredible ... when Savman said that originally about 12 year olds, i thought to myself. Yeah that's probably right and it's a shame they can do nothing , but the kid will definately learn a lesson.

But was genuinely shocked this morning when heard the description of the group that were arrested.









Scumbagginess of it all.
