    I can only think of the Walrus of Love whenever I hear about Justice Barry White. I'll be bitterly disappointed if I ever see a picture of him.

    Life in prison.

    Doesn't quite have the same deterrent factor it used to.

    But he will have been rehabilitated behind bars and he will turn his life around and is a different man. Society will be a lot better place with him out of prison.





    On second thoughts, he'll probably be back inside within 6 months.

    Father (32) exposed buttocks and threatened to kill garda after claiming all gardai are 'gay'
    Published 11/09/2014 | 14:46

    THIS is the father-of-three who exposed his buttocks to a garda, threatened to kill him and claimed that all officers are gay.

    Douglas Purcell (32) told Garda Stephen Walsh: "I'll get you on your own and I'll kill you".

    Judge David McHugh adjourned sentencing for three weeks to allow Purcell to get his affairs in order.

    The judge described the evidence as "jaw-dropping".

    The defendant, of Melville Square in Finglas, admitted before Blanchardstown District Court to disorderly conduct and failing to follow directions of gardai.

    He also admitted to violent behaviour at Finglas garda station.

    Gda Walsh said he was on routine patrol and leaving Melville Square on May 21 when Purcell came out of his house. Gda Walsh said Purcell was immediately abusive, shouting "f**k you, you pr**k" and "suck my pr**k". Gda Walsh said Purcell also claimed gardai are gay.

    The court heard Purcell then pulled down his trousers, slapped his rear and exposed himself to gardai.

    He also threatened Gda Walsh, saying "I'll get you on your own and I'll kill you". Gda Walsh said Purcell continued to kick out in the back of the patrol car as he was taken to Finglas garda station.

    He was placed in a cell where he stripped and threw his clothes at gardai.

    The defence said Purcell's wife suffers from depression and he is caring for her and three children. Ms Jackson accepted the evidence was "horrific", and asked for a three-week adjournment.

    He was 16, how much did you change in 10 years? I'd guess a lot.

    Waste of money keeping him locked up unless he is currently a danger to others.

    I always think that there should be a small group looking after lads like him who are leaving the prison. One, two, three of them found decomposing in some fields and the other "well behaving" guys would be begging to keep them in.

    You make him sound like a cheeky scamp who robbed hubcaps from cars and is sorry and won't do it again.He battered a 14 year old boy to death with a hammer and told his classmates that he was planning on doing it.He showed no remorse whatsover for what he did.
