How is this thug allowed to roam free

knipex

The the picture in the OP's link it says


"Leon Wright, 18yrs, of Droim na Coille Avenue, Ballyowen Lane, Lucan, Dublin, leaving court on 20th January 2017 after he was jailed for 13years with 4 suspended for a string of violent crimes including robbery, hijacking, escape from custody and assault."

How the FU** is he being released in 2019 after being sentenced to to 13 years in 2017 ??

Even with 4 years suspended that's 9 years and if the journalist has gotten his story even half correct there should have been no reduction to his sentence and the 4 years suspended term reactivated..

They would like a bit of a death I imagine.

Why would anyone who doesn't have an acute brain injury even consider voting for him and his shower of ne'er-do-wells?

I’m sure there’s an uninhabited island off Ireland. They could send scum like that there. They could fend for themselves. Once a month a drone drops off a crate of supplies. No need for guards. They could have drones patrolling the perimeter. Kill on sight anyone attempting to escape.

Considering Fine Gael have always considered themselves "The Law & Order Party" this is somewhere they're really failing their core vote.

Minimum sentencing is a must. And a reclassification of crimes also - I couldn't believe when I read this part (emphasis mine)

In May 2014, Wright was jailed for six years for stabbing two men in random attacks in Dublin city centre in April 2013. Dublin Circuit Court heard that Wright’s first stabbing victim was Harisikashra Rajaysur, from Mauritius, while his second was Irishman Killian Byrne, who was walking with a female companion, Karolina Dryzaite.

The two stabbings took place minutes apart. At the time, Wright told gardaí that he was aiming for the organs of the second victim. He said he tried to kill the man, ‘but his bird got in the way’. Wright pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and assault of Mr Rajaysur on Grafton Street in April 2013. When he appeared in court for these offences, Wright was handcuffed and flanked by five prison staff in riot gear.

He admitted to the assault of Mr Byrne and Ms Dryzaite and to robbing a purse on nearby Chatham Street on the same date.

ASSAULT? He admitted he went for Mr Byrnes organs, and that he tried to kill him. He admitted to Attempted Murder, but instead he gets charged with Assault?? Assault is when you punch someone, kick them, push them, it's not when you try to stab their godddam organs and tell the cops you tried to kill him.

He should have been charged with 2 counts of attempted murder, and given 2 x 10 year minimum sentences to be run one after another, the idea that you can run 2 sentences at the same time effectively means, attempt murder on one, you may as well try kill 10 people as your sentence will be around the same.

This country....

Top class journalism

This is a fair thing to report, is it not? He could be 29, 30, 31, it's impossible to know without an exact birth date and perhaps the journalist was not privy to such facts.

if they had double digit previous convictions for violent crimes or sexual assault then yes I absolutely would. if you haven't learned your lesson in 10 times infront of a judge then theres not much to be said for keeping you alive.

Someone like this absolutely deserves death, anything else is a light sentence.

What about a less violent situation; say someone racks up dozens of warnings, cards and bans on this website. Should that user simply be permabanned?

if they've racked them because opinions they hold aren't friendly to the advertisers that website is trying to attract or a liberal agenda , then absolutely not. :pac:

If it was for threatening other users or outright ruining forums / constant charter breaches then perhaps.

A bizarre comparison. An innocuous online platform weighed up against a vicious savage.

Why weed a flower bed if the weeds haven't directly killed a flower.

You weed out malignancy for the good of everyone else.

It's an ironic thing that you need extreme measures to ensure liberalism.

No offence to Cork people, but could they not reopen Spike Island again and send all these Dublin knackers down there just as they did up until 2004?

It added immensely to the security of people in Dublin to see programmes on Today Tonight and RTÉ News where huge numbers of Dublin scumbags were on an island off Cork.

This country needs to pull together and it's about time Cork people got behind the capital once again as it tries to attract investment.

A family member has had to deal with this lowlife on a few occasions.

This guy is pure evil, filth like him should not be on our streets, he will kill someone, without doubt. It's only a matter of time. Attacks prison officers every chance he gets and refuses to engage in any therapy or so called rehabilitation in and just let him loose.

An excuse for a human being, I wonder what prick in the dept of Justice will apologise to the family of his next victim

Another scum bag free to do what he likes..... Seems a very big trend....

Solicitors will be fighting to be his legal aid....

Probably already has many business cards from them....

The Bible talked about this. It wasn’t good for the weed people on your analogy. Doesn’t seem like a ‘liberal’ thing.

They get an automatic 25% off the sentence for remission, otherwise known as Good Behaviour. Even though he committed 250 breaches of good behaviour in prison.

The term madness gets bandied about but that really is complete and utter madness.

Yeah... I don't really worry about what a 2000 year old pyramid scheme says in fairness.

The only way we're ever going to fix/control humanities selfish/lazy urges is through generous communism and annual mental health checks or intrusive personal privacy invasion/thought police to catch and "fix" disruptive individuals.

Maybe an all powerful AI would oversee everyone.

That's never going to happen now. Spike Island has become a massive cash cow for Cork county council. It's literally the number 1 ranked tourist attraction in Cork on Trip Advisor.

I actually strongly recommend anyone to see it. You can get the train from the City out to Cobh right along the harbour. You could spend 5 hours easily walking around Spike and not be bored. It's a really unique spot with an amazing history.

If he was 18 in 2017 as it says in the article, he must be around 20 now.

Time to start hassling your local TDs on tougher sentencing and more prisons. If enough of us moan they will see it as a way to get votes.

So, this special place they were keeping him, the National Violence Reduction Unit is something new. It has only been open a few months and I had never heard of it before.
It seems we now have our own little Hannibal Lector wing, which accommodates 10 special people.
Here's an article about it.

Most of those cells will have double-skin doors. This involves a grill-style door remaining locked with a cell door open. It means while the prisoners can communicate with staff through the grill door, they can not rush at staff opening their cells. The grill door will only be opened when staff are satisfied it is safe..
...A large space, with a grill and reinforced glass window for protection, can separate the prisoner from a medical professional or a visitor.

And then they go straight from that to the Electric Picnic campsite.

So no 30/40/50 years without parole or full life in prison. Straight to Death? Ohhh Edgy!!!

Which Utopians have you studied that have such laws?

In true boards fashion you clearly don’t have a clue. Remission is nothing to do with good behavior

Living local at the moment in Coolock.

Just great.

Lowlife do gooder politicians sticking up for this guy in court. Blood will be on their hands
