    Apparently they chased him around the courtyard... absolutely vicious!! :mad:

    My question is, surely with modern technology i.e. dash cams and cctv, why aren't these criminals being sent away for longer than what seems to be 4/5 year for assault, then back out to do the same.

    What your question again ?

    Men using a slash hook. Interesting choice of weapon.

    Certain group are quite fond of them. Sounds like it was premeditated.

    Beyond reasonable doubt. Wearing a balaclava and socks/gloves means that identifying the people with the slash hooks is nearly impossible.

    Since people aren't randomly attacked with slash hooks the family most likely know the assailants, I wonder if they are helping the Gardai?

    Predictable enough posts I see.

    Racism is now hiding behind the cloak of Community activism.

    3 grown men attacking someone with a culturally stereotyping weapon, you don't need to be einstein to join the dots on that one.

    I thought you could only use a slash hook at a funeral.

    The slash hooks, would be a good name for a metal band, logo in gleaming sharp metallic text, dripping with blood, first album title; "Doin' no harm to nobody".

    Glazers Out!

    About as predictable as the subject matter of the thread, wouldn't you say?

    No doubt it was refugees. Muslim ones who are also dole cheats, travellers and are on bail with multiple convictions and have council houses.
    It was only a matter of time, really.
