    This is actually one of the sickest things I have read in a long long time.
    I wouldn't even expect this from an animal,never mind some dirty scumbag.

    Our society seems to regress daily judging by the actions of a minority of people who don't deserve the gift of life.

    A man had his nose, ears and lip bitten off during a “sickening” attack outside a nightclub in Liverpool, police said today.
    The 31-year old victim lost part of both ears, his upper lip and part of his nose in the assault by a man outside Funky Box in Liverpool city centre. A second man held bystanders and a bouncer back as his accomplice attacked the man on ground.
    The venue has had its alcohol licence suspended by the city council acting on police advice.
    Describing CCTV footage of the attack, which happened at 6.20am last Saturday, PC Stuart Moore told Liverpool’s licensing committee: “It is horrific, sickening and it is almost barbaric, what takes place.”
    “The footage shows a fight between two males. The victim and the assailant could be seen brawling in the street. Both males fall to the floor and there’s a struggle.

    “A second male appears to be protecting the people involved to make sure the fight continues and the assailant starts reigning blows. There are nine consecutive punches while he lies on the floor.

    “The assailant can be seen to place his head down by the victim. He starts eating away at his face and his head. The male has had his two ears bitten off, part of his nose bitten off and half of his lip bitten off.

    “The attack reminded me of a lion wrenching the flesh off a gazelle.”

    Merseyside Police said the victim, from the Wavertree area of Liverpool, remains in hospital where he is expected to undergo reconstructive surgery.
    Laurence Richard McGinn (28), of Sherry Court, Aigburth, Liverpool, was charged with Section 18 wounding and remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on November 28th.
    A 27-year-old man, from Toxteth, was also arrested in connection with the assault and is on police bail pending further inquiries.
    .

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Maybe he was some pure rough looking bloke that no one wanted to piss off. Odds are he is if he was hanging around with the lad who bit off the other's face.

    Hardly a pair of solicitors on a quiet evening when they came across a ruckus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Things like this makes me think sharia law has some merits. Tie the fcuker to the ground, cover his face in meat and let a few hungry rottweilers go to town.

    Some scumbags out there.
    Thats the thing about getting into a fight. You really have to be prepared for everything. Im not the sort to pick up a bottle and jam it in someones face. But that doesnt mean the guy I would be fighting shares that same attitude.

    My thoughts exactly! To think this club employs loads of bouncers and not one of them could stop this happening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 Doctor Doctor


    That goes way beyond the depths of 'normal' scumbaggery. This guy should be put in a high security psycho ward. As a previous poster pointed out, this is like Hanibal Lector. His crowd controlling friend isn't much better. This is much more sinister than a knife attack. Terrifying.

    I've seen bouncers ignore trouble before because some of the people involved were dirty ****ers who they wouldn't want to piss off.

    The club isn't big at all and the only bouncers were the two or three at the door and one more inside unless there was another one or two at the end of the seating area which is the only place I didn't go. I don't think there was much more than 50 people in there when I left and it probably cleared out a bit more before this happened as the place closes at 6.

    He was a gay man.

    Apparently McGinn saw yerman dancing outrageously and kissing his boyfriend and took great exception to it.

    Well the victim is a good man, a hard working normal lad who the "madman" (and I say madman sarcastically, really meaning this little used to be a geek and watch a gangster film then think I'm mad, who no-one knows and was a punch bag in school tool) felt highly insecure about because he is a big lad.

    I wonder what Lawrence 'the madman' McGinn's Mother thinks of him now and what he's feeling locked up on remand not able to see his kid. Bet that kid's going to be proud of his dad when he gets out.

    He should be executed. Simple. Bring him to court. Give him a trial. Find him guilty. Kill him. End of. Everyone wins.

Don't think so mate. This is the last reply I make to you buddy but I will just say think about what you post kid because people dont want to hear the stuff your saying. Anyway isnt it past your bedtime?

    My thoughts exactly. I would have a straightener no bother, Im a big enough bloke. I could handle a few digs and the odd boot. But there are some sick sinister bastards out there with other agendas and ideas of what to do in a fight. I would never bite or whip out a knife etc, plenty of willing scumbags out there that would so I steer well clear.

    As for the scumbag mentioned, he should be put down. Appalling stuff.

    Actually, he probably doesn't. A fight in the street is not in his jurisdiction.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭bayern282


    There's actually more cases of ear biting etc here than in the UK or seems to be when reading the Indo / Herald etc.

    Is there some particular reason ( apart from the perpetrator being a loon ) for this mode of attack ?, I know people in the Joy can get their ears cut to make them look like rats if they're suspected of being informers.

    If he wants to act like a wild animal then treat him like one.

    Stick him on a plane to some safari in Africa and see how he gets on amongst his own.

    We should'nt try to make light of it.Ah because it happens......then not so bad.There's no very great mystery about this sort of behaviour.Alcohol and youth and drugs and 1/2 naked girls whatttya expect????Alcohol and the young is a recent thing.

    Have you ever seen a fight where two unskilled drunks go to the ground...it's normally a case of arms and legs being tied up...so people can bite.

    In this case it sounds like the guy who was bitten was pretty much out of it. 9 shots to the head is a lot....sounds like the dude was just munching away because he's a sick **** who needs his cock cheese grated off.

    I'm not so sure.
