I can't believe this..

Serial burglar left with 17 pellets in his arm as he tried to make getaway

He has 61 previous convictions, mainly for theft, burglary and stealing cars

And all he got was 6 years with 4 suspended??

But here's why..

Judge Mary Ellen Ring took into account Fahey’s efforts to address his drug addiction.

"I'm really trying judge swear down like I'm trying" ah piss off.

hell if some one breaks into my gaff and he gets two years plus i get to shoot at him that's not too bad. although i doubt if he would have to do the two years as im a fairly good shot with the old boom stick :-)

Dear Mr Fox

Im glad that you have forsaken chicken rustling and all kinds of farmyard antics
and have tried to turn your life around by becoming a poster on Boards..

effort and attempts at rehabilitation are too be rewarded ,as when we try to move away from where we once were ,its always easier to achieve our goals when people acknowledge effort and make the community easier to live in


So

Fix the link and redeem yourself

6 years with 4 suspended would be grand, but this chap has 61 previous convictions.. And I dare say he was imprisoned for fcuk all of them as well.. I steal a car and I'd spend a year in prison, because I'm not from a troubled home and I don't do drugs.. This chap gets away with 61 convictions and there's OAP's who can barley afford groceries put in prison for not paying a TV licence... It's pure sickening tbh

OAPs don't have to pay for a TV licence.

There was a story in the paper a while back that would suggest otherwise

Absolutely scandalous. Surely their barristers should have used that as a defense?...
FREE THE OAPS!!!

well why did you steal the car then ??

seriously though on the avarage scale of punishments for this kind of crime it was a fairly good term. as in i ve seen a lot worse

he got the benefit of yer man hitting him with the shotgun. which is wrong of course,
on the bright side at least the man who fired the shot didnt get dragged before the courts for defending his fathers home .

then again had he used a rifle and been a good shot well different story isnt it

I didn't steal a car. I've never stolen anything, I'm using myself as an example.

Are OAP's not exempt from paying the TV licence.

That he didn't pay for his licence but it was said that OAPs don't have to pay

Read it again , something along the lines of not.paying for it in the past.Before he was an OAP.

Pity the shooter didn't have better aim and/or a heavier calibre weapon. A high speed lead injection with a fatal outcome could save the courts and the taxpayers time.
