Larry Murphy..............Larry Who?????

TheDriver

So was asking few friends the other day if we all wondered where Larry Murphy was and all said who is Larry Murphy and these people were all over the story like a rash at the time.

So have we all forgotten Larry Murphy a day later?

Larry Murphy..............Larry Who?????

Larry the rapist and murderer thats who wha hoo

Overheal

Don't put yourself in a situation where any potential serial killer/rapist can kill/rape you.

/solved.

Seriously the outrage made it feel as if people worried he would swoop in through the window and start spraying bullets everywhere before he had his way with your wife or daughter.

Typical Irish.. we forget very easy unless its in the papers!!

I'd say the vast majority of people in Ireland have the common sense not to give a **** where he is. With that much publicity and lack of privacy, I don't see him doing anything.

Seriously, if you're concerned for your safety just because you aren't aware where Larry Murphy is every moment of the day, you're a retard.

Why the **** has Larry Murphy got so much media attention and that child killer in Dublin last week has not??

That's a bit harsh.

I wouldn't want him living near me or any of my family.

Would you want him living near you or any of your family?

I thought he was a Wexford hurler

Edit: I googled it, he was!! Part of 96 team that beat my lovely Limerick. YOU BASTARD!!!! *waves fist*

We'll never forget you, Larry Murtagh.

juliancallan

There's a pub called Larry Murphy's.

Not sure why they didn't just call it Murphy's but I'm guessing they've come to regret that decision lately...

Facetiousness aside, mind telling me where she was abducted from? I doubt that she didn't do something to make herself vulnerable. I'm in no way excusing her murderer, but like this 12 year old girl the other night (*and whats the news on that?), who was out on her own in the streets in the middle of the night: it's not the greatest measure of security, despite whatever the social norm is for kids to congregate under streetlamps to hang out, make out with girls in secluded alleys or any of a number of things I did as a lad that all seriousness aside, would not have done if I seriously thought I could be mugged, abducted or murdered.

Theres lots you can do to protect yourself that often goes overlooked.

Some obviously will have but you can be reassured when the tabloids get bored or have space to fill they will remind us with a tit-bit of new info and a crap load of what we already know - just to refresh our memory!

And Larry was never convicted of Killing anyone, that little toe rag should be locked in a cell with larry and a role of sandpaper.

I couldn't give a ****e whether he lived next door to me or the other side of the world. Serial killers have a specific type of victim, I don't fit it, so I'm relatively safe. The protesters outside his house would piss me off more than the fact he was living there to be quite honest.

Har-har-har. The reason there's so much publicity about Larry Murphy is that he's Ireland's only ever suspected serial killer, even FBI profilers have confirmed this. Unless you're a middle aged blond woman I think it is, you have nothing to worry about with Larry Murphy. Serial killers only ever go after their usual targets.

bonerm

Perhaps we could counter all the Guinness corporate bull**** by taking 23-Sep as "Larry's Day"?

Get a pint of Murphy's and raise a toast "To Larry" ..... "To Barry" .... "To Biscuits" etc etc

So what about the people that might know or be very close to a 'fitted target'...they should just sit back too and relax:cool:

Pfft. He was convicted of rape. All the profilers know is that he is married white and in his 40s or something.

"Good news everyone! I've invented a device which can predict the outcome of any hypothetical question."

You're far more likely to be the victim of a crime carried out by someone who isn't Larry Murphy. That's not to say he should be free.. but the fact he is shouldn't be enough to make people live in fear

It is believed that Murphy stalked his victim for a month before he attacked her, broke her nose and then dragged her into the boot of his Fiat Punto. His victim, a businesswoman in her mid-20s, had closed up her shop shortly after 8pm before heading towards the secluded car park that she parked her car in everyday. As she approached her car, she noticed a man who appeared to be searching for something on the ground. As she opened her car door, the man, who she later found out was Larry Murphy, pounced at her, demanded money and then struck her in the face, fracturing her nose.

What was she supposed to do? Get someone to walk her to her car every night after work? Hire a bodyguard? People have to do unsafe things every day that could later be seen as careless or foolhardy but life has to be lived, and lived without someone holding your hand constantly. Her case was very different to Michaela's.

She was in her 20s when he attacked her.

I'm not going to dig that discussion back up, but thats my point: those were very particular circumstances. And despite that, the level of Hysteria around the country a week or two ago, was absurd. Perhaps people realized just how careless they were being with their own safety, whether it was choosing a convenient parking spot over a safe one, or walking down an unlit alley because it was a shortcut, or whatever.

Obviously I'm a defense weapon supporter, but as Ireland doesnt allow that, you need to be especially considerate about reducing the odds of getting into a confrontation that requires that sort of defense in the first place.

but seriously i am someone who stay in portlaoise now and then, and i am female, it does frighten me to think that i could be residing not far from a convicted monster,

You should always be at least passively aware of danger. Regardless of where you are. You are already far less vulnerable if you are aware and concerned about your safety.

Now, Now...

Lets get our facts straight here; he was never convicted for being a monster, unlike that bad bastard The Ape Man of the Forbidden Mountains in episode 7 (Never Ape an Ape Man) of the Scooby-Doo, where are you! series.
