Man charged with writing 'rat' on book of condolence for Garda Colm Horkan

    A man in his 20s has been charged with criminal damage by writing the word ‘rat’ under the name of Detective Garda Colm Horkan in a book of condolence that was left at the public counter in Blanchardstown garda station for the public to sign.

    Jason Hennessy (23) from Sheephill Avenue in Blanchardstown was also charged with violent conduct at Blanchardstown garda station while in custody for the criminal damage offence. He appeared before Judge Gerard Jones at Blanchardstown District Court this morning.

    Sergeant Alan Lynch told Judge Jones that on Friday June 19 he had put out a book of condolence to be signed for their garda colleague Det Garda Horkan and at 12.15pm was made aware that two men were at the book and it had been tampered with.

    When the book was examined, it was seen that the word ‘rat’ had been written under Det Garda Horkan’s name and the station stamp had been used to stamp the front of the book.


    I hadn't heard of this particular toerag before, but a quick web search provides quite a lot of evidence to suggest that this world would have been a far better place if his parents had gone to bingo instead of having a quickie on the night that he was conceived.

    Lowlife like him are breaking the laws of nature purely by his existence, if you really have to ask what law he broke (its in the op ffs) then maybe you should consider further education.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭TuringBot47


    He'll probably argue that he's dyslexic and was trying to write "rip".

    Although I don't get it, I thought scum only call people rats if they talk to the guards... He was a guard?

    A double digit IQ wouldn't exist in that family, and yes I can say this because I know them personally.

    He was in that was in the cop show district k. He was filmed telling the Garda he'd ride them . Seems like a lovely chap

    He'll have his pick of men in the Joy in that case.

    His cell mate will have to carry the frying pan to bed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    He has the kind of head that would look well lumped up with baton marks. Jesus, what would you be thinking doing something like this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭Nozebleed


    why was he originally arrested? is what i meant to ask...forgive me.

    Criminal damage.

    The violent conduct is a subsequent charge.

    writing Rat on a piece of paper is not criminal damage...you do realise this? as sick as it is...the guards have no right to arrest this guy for writing an insult in a book of condolence.

    Technically it is, defacing property of others.

    I wholeheartedly agree, arresting him is totally inadequate. See my other post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭tinofapples


    Wasn't he the scumbag that taunted the two guards from inside a gate of a house on the Virgin Media show "Inside the K" ?

    Edit: I see comments that he is indeed said scumbag

    He damaged property that wasn't his, not only was it written on, it was interfered with also.

    fuck him, and fuck you - trying to defend him.

    Schools across the country should have hundreds of euro in damages claims from scribbles on their books following this precedence.

    It's placed there for members of the public to record their condolences, the clue is in the name.

    Gobshi'te, both in his action but also his rank stupidity in getting so easily caught.

    im not defending him at all. not a nice thing to do at all. im simply asking for clairty in the eyes of the law.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Did he feature in the recent Garda documentary mini series on VM?? He looks like a big red headed hard man who was intimidating the guards in one of the episodes.

    Attack a man with a hammer and gets a suspended sentence, great system of justice here in Ireland.

    A DUBLIN MAN who took part in a violent city centre attack in which two young men were assaulted with a hammer and an iron bar has been given a two-year suspended sentence.

    As if he had the intelligence to work that out on his own.

    You have clarity.

    The eyes ( and the rest) of the law arrested him, and he will appear in court charged with criminal damage.

    It's very clear.

    He was talking shit from behind a gate, knowing full well that if a Garda gave him a welt of something he could go cnawvshawling and get compo.

    Was clearly written in the quoted text of the opening post, and the linked article.

    You got your reaction.

    I am sure.

    He set about using it in a manner that was not intended or designed for.

    Where he wrote is as important legally as what he wrote.

    Seems to have a bit of obsession with gay anal sex from what I can tell. Maybe he's just trying to get banged up so he can fulfill his wildest sexual fantasies in the Joy.

    Just in the last few years alone he has enough done that would warrant a decade in jail.

    Absolutely mental

    The dude is ugly, stupid, and angry. Terrible combination.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭Rodin


    While what he did was abhorent, the judge is acting with emotion.
    People accused of serious assault are granted bail. This guy wasn't.

    Those who are accused of serious assault should be treated more stiffly than this guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,862 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    This is the worst kind of ****, chicken**** coward. When his time comes he will die screaming, like all these hard men. Absolute scum, and I'm no fan of the cops, but he would be too chicken to go up against anyone. Bad behaviour is just sad, it's not big or clever, and neither is he.

    While indulging your nonsense, his long list of extreme violence would have been an influencing factor.

    His violent conduct in the station also meant bail was not an option.

    Custody for violent conduct after arrest is fair enough.
    Hopefully he'll get a nice long sentence.
