    so when the media is reporting news and murders especially, as we know they just say man/woman aged ___ from ___
    anyone else want to know was it one scumbag killing another one, or someone that was innocent caught up in it, Im all for scumbags killing each other or whatever, just not when normal people get caught up in it

    Generally if they add the phrase : "The deceased was known to Gardai", it's code for scumbag....

    TBF i dont think a journalist can say the murder and the murderee were both scumbags in the news report e.g. a male scumbag aged 24 was gunned down outside his home today...the journalist may get sued


    A better idea would be a few hints in the news report:
    A 24 male was gunned down outside his home today, reports suggest the male drove a suped up honda civic and had a tendency to tuck his tracksuit pants into his socks ;).

    The news report will actually contain a winky face graphic also.

    I'm not sure anyone deserves to die, I'd prefer to see scumbags do long hard time. I'd rather die than do 50 years getting ass raped and what not.
