10 years for a road accident?

10 years for killing a man and fleeing the scene. What’s accidental about driving through a red light anyway?

Fleeing the scene of what, an accident maybe?

To drive with 80 through the city through red lights is now an accident? It may not be premeditated murder but its definitely closer to murder than it is to an accident.

Of a crime, not an accident. A hit and run. What kind of dumb argument are you making here?

Yeah, poor young lad was accidentally speeding, accidentally breaking red lights, accidentally driving without insurance. Not his fault really.

This will teach him a lesson no doubt.:mad:

His real learning will take place in crime college. He may well end up with a PhD in crime.

Young people often chip in and buy bangers, then drive them with no insurance or tax.

I've since been told that this is the case

Well this is what happens when people decide someone who is not mature enough to drink a beer, smoke a fag or choose his local representative is allowed control a giant fast moving metal box.

I know #notallkids but when you think about it it's odd

It would be great if all the pond rats could be chained together and put out working every day.
Clearing rubbish out of ditches etc instead of housing them within in prisons all day where they act the mikeen Tyson.
Bunch of useless entitled wasters.
If they were out working all day there wouldn’t be half as much guff out of them.

Whoa, wtf? Disparaging a whole area is a pretty f*cking big leap here, no?

What's the problem with disparaging a whole area when the whole area absolutely deserves it? Do you get off on pious virtue signalling or what?

Wasn’t Nolan a Garda before moving to kings inn

For ten years. Then a barrister.

No idea what service as a garda though. Could have been a desk jockey with little real policing experience.

Hard to understand his sentences if he actually walked the beat and dealt with crimes

What do you do about it....

This has come up before.

Same **** keeps happening.

It's text book prejudice really. Leads to things like people asking my wife in a job interview whether she was embarrassed to be from where she was from. And far worse, obviously.

To put this judgement into context. My brother in law (37) was killed by a speeding drunk driver who fled the scene. He had previous convictions for drunk driving and should have been off the road anyway. Left a grieving wife and 3 young kids (1 unborn ah the time).

When it went to court he got 4 and a half years with the last 12 months suspended.

Although it’s easy and probably somewhat justified to call out Nolan maybe we need to look at the legal system he operates in and direct our anger towards that instead.

Dont think as you suggest he " disparaged the whole area " but referred to " those sorts of characters " in that area .

However dont let that minor issue get in the way of your outrage. :rolleyes:

He helpfully went on to disparage the area as well though.

In fairness I've spent enough time around there to know it's full of little c*nts with attitude problems, gangs of teens with no fear in them all over the place

Yeah, it was the explicit disparagement of the area that seemed depressingly familiar to me. Anyway, I guess this is derailing.

neris

probably more for the legal forum but when the DPP bring these cases to court can they not oppose the judge hearing the case. This is the same judge who gave a lad trying to keep his business afloat 6 years for calling apples garlic and doing the state out of some cash which he paid back but gives vicious assaulters and killers a slap on the wrist

eeeee
