Child Item

Innocent Person Accosted by Kildare Mob

AllForIt

I was watching Prime Time this evening to see a man from Kildare describe how he was attacked on the street by a mob of morons who took such action in the belief that he was a sex offender.

The particulars of the case can be found here:

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/i-was-the-victim-of-mindless-mob-mentality-innocent-man-fears-he-will-be-incorrectly-identified-as-sex-offender-again-35773007.html

It appears that the face of a underage sex-offender was distributed on Facebook who was wrongly believed to be living in the area and the locals set about on a hunt to find him, and accosted an innocent man that had a similar appearance to the sex-offender.

This story turns my stomach.

You have the idea that sex-offenders should be named and identified with their address, so that the community would be wary. The worry being that the sex offenders living in your area are a threat to your family.

The previous Prime Time episode went into the disturbing neglect of children in social care and by their natural parents, and the failings of TULSA, a child protection agency. Harrowing accounts of how completely dysfunctional some families are and the consequences for very young children living in their care. Shocking stuff but no mob mentality taken against those sorts of general scumbags that mob types drink and socialize with.

What is more disturbing to me than a convicted sex-offender living in my area which would be rare is that your general geezer family is so thick that they took it about themselves to go about on a manhunt and ultimately they were so thick that they accosted the wrong person such that he had to go on national television to convince ppl in his locale that he was not the person they were after. What a horrible situation to be in.

If I was ever to go to live in Kildare I would like to have a register of thickos where I could have a choice not to live anywhere near them. Very disturbing story that highlights what kind of low-brow people we live amongst in our society.

Edit: I take back my vitriol on the general peoples of Kildare. Obviously this kind of social media wildfire vigilante phenomenon can take place anywhere because thicko mentality knows no borders and could happen anywhere. I think.

`Facebook should have `Safety Measures ? . In place so the likes of the Kildare Mob using there web site to endangering Innocent `members of the public . Facebook are now on notice. So if the do nothing to stop Scumbags like the Kildare Mob then in my opinion Facebook and the Mob will have blood on there ` hands of a Innocent person.

Ah stop.

You're every bit as reactionary as those people. You don't need to capitalise Kildare Mob as though it was a registered trademark.

The fault here lies with idiot woman, idiot people sharing it, and idiot people that went vigilante.

And yes, Facebook does have "systems" in place, you can report any post or image to Facebook. We don't know if said image was reported or not.

This Innocent man could have being murdered by the Kildare Mob and by Facebook allowing there users to post stuff on there web site that Innocent Man was so lucky to get a way with his life next time the next person might not be so lucky and may lose there life.

It could have been the innocent man in question, or it could have been the paedophile, doesn't make a difference. Still would have been the fault of the people committing the act, and those inciting it. Not Facebook.

But cue hysteria from you, regardless.

If the Women did not post on Facebook then the Kildare Mob would not be on the hunt for prey of a Innocent Person. Facebook allowed this Women to post so Facebook have a duty of care to members of the public .(THIS A TIME- BOMB) for Facebook.

Facebook owes the public a duty of care and not to leave posters endanger Men/Women Boys/Girls lives this to me is `Unexceptable. In the year 2017 this to me is like the `(Salem witch trials) of the year 1692. but now the mob have( Facebook witch trials )and any who thinks that is okay are Evil People who God will Judge.

Why you must think it is okay for a Innocent person to be ran out of Kildare the Man could have lost his life we could be talking about a dead man today. The Man went on Prime Time for God `s sake .:mad:

Realt Dearg Sec

I'm with please help thank you. And I know how can solve the problem too. We just need to get a group of all the people who are angry about this, and go to Facebook's offices in Dublin. It might require a certain amount of aggression, and realistically the people in the office aren't actually responsible for the problem, but I think it's the right response here.

In this case "the mob" may have gotten the wrong man but there was no damage done.

There was plenty damage done. One is the damage done to the innocent man himself. Secondly is the damage done to the reputation of the people of Kildare.

It is complexly absurd of you to suggest that no damage was done because 'they got the wrong man'. As if if they had the right man then it would all be okay.

We have a criminal justice system , paid for through our taxes, that identifies and punished those who commit crimes. The ppl charged with that responsibility are professionals and I would trust them more to carry out those responsibilities fairly and squarely rather than some low IQ mob who feel they can do it better.

I have to ask you what was the point of accosting the man even if he was the right man. Did they wish to have a civilized conversation with him, or did they want to beat him up? Unless they killed him I don't see what the purpose of interacting with him would be? He would still be the same person after any altercation.

This farce has come about because of the very wrongfulness of the actions of the mob in the first place.

i find it quite refreshing that people are taking the law into thier own hands for a change instead of just moaning about it.

It would be far better if they expanded their horizons to include rapists,drug-dealers and general scumbags as well as Paedophiles.

Troll like comment.

Back in the 1980's the Concerned Parents Against Drugs were instrumental in running out many drug dealers from parts of Dublin...now it seems drug-dealing is accepted and normalised in certain types of society.

Drug dealers have never ever been run out of anywhere. They will always find ways of distributing their drugs and no community uprising will ever change that.
