    Interesting little case before Mary-Ellen Ring yesterday.

    http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/convicted-killer-jailed-for-the-violent-hijacking-of-a-taxi-29442574.html

    Notwithstanding the good stiff sentence handed down to the perp..
    Judge Mary Ellen Ring sentenced Walsh to three and half years with the final two suspended to encourage him to continue to deal with his addiction problems.

    ....for this attack....
    At a point in the journey Walsh told the driver to stop the car and put both his arms around the driver's neck. He hit the victim in the face and told him: “Give me the money, don't look into my face”.

    Healy then got out of the car and pulled the victim out on the road, hit him to the head and neck and knocked him to the ground.

    ....and taking into account a bit of "previous"....
    Walsh's 58 :eek: previous convictions include :eek:manslaughter,:eek: impeding the apprehension of another, robbery and handling stolen property.

    In the absence of any positive suggestions from Judge Ring,would any AH'ers or Taxi Drivers care to speculate on the best type of vehicle to operate in order to protect oneself from the attentions of individuals such as the Perp..?

    I suppose it's no harm either for TaxiDrivers to be aware that just like Gerry Adams,our perp has'nt gone away either Y'know......
    Healy was granted bail to complete a residential drug treatment programme. His case was put in for mention on July 31 next to make sure he went to the centre.

    SO....what's it to be then....a bog standard 96 Carina or a purpose built London Style Taxi,with segregated cab.....back to you in the studio,Mary Ellen....;)


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
