Frank McDonagh from Rahoon, Galway was jailed for 8 years with 18 months suspended after he slashed two people in the head with a pizza knife during an attempted robbery. He had 90 previous convictions and yet his family defend him on Facebook and insist he just made a mistake.

Fair play to the fella who intervened. Could've been a lot worse if he hadn't.

His hand must have slipped.

McDonagh

Well known name in Galway from members of a certain ethnic community.

Red_Wake · 17-05-2018 10:48AM

No doubt had a difficult upbringing and has since gone back to education :O

He's just misunderstood

MarkY91 · 17-05-2018 10:51AM

Sounds like attempted murder to me.

90 previous convictions, this man has no right to be a member of our society for the remainder of his pathetic life.

Tasty and tempting food?

The young woman went to the man’s aid and McDonagh sliced the knife downwards through her left ear from the top, right down to the lobe.

He then sliced the knife again across the left-hand side of her neck.

FFS He attacked the girl while she was trying to help her boyfriend from potentially dying. Pure Scum should never be let out

Countdown to when the usual suspects will arrive on this thread to defend certain "ethnic" minorities whose vast majority don't know how to conduct themselves within civilized society.

This particular scumbag deserves a lobotomy.

Society has to stop turning a blind eye to the violent and repugnant nature of male traveler culture. Many of them behave like semi-feral animals.

Will I Am Not · 17-05-2018 11:11AM

If you have previous convictions in double figures, never mind almost triple, or you’re out on bail (in this case it was both) You should never get to have concurrent sentences.

17-05-2018 11:13AM

It's attempted murder ffs.

Irish Guitarist · 17-05-2018 11:31AM

Leave the poor man alone. How was he to know that a pizza knife was going to cut someone? It's advertised as a pizza knife not a people knife. I bet the box the knife came in said nothing about it cutting human flesh.

Facebook comments are the best.

Indeed, when will this madness end?

Wossack · 17-05-2018 11:42AM

concurrent sentencing boils my blood :mad::mad::mad:

17-05-2018 11:43AM

All those charges and ultimately it's a 6.5 years sentence. Less one-third remission and just over a year in custody already and he'll be out in 4 years. Disgusting.

gmisk · 17-05-2018 11:47AM

6.5 years is ridiculous, those people will have to live with the trauma of an event like this for the rest of their lives.
90 previous convictions? and people defending him, disgusting.

I am speaking from experience here....I was slashed in the face with a stanley knife (I was lucky not to lose an eye)...the physical scars heel, but you are never the same again.

valoren · 17-05-2018 11:51AM

It's Stockholm Syndrome.

If you had a family member who was a violent psychopath capable of slashing people's faces would you tell them that they're a violent psychopath? You'd be a brave person to confront someone like that. The reality is it might be you who get's their face slashed instead of other's and thus it is in your best interest to defend or stand up for that person to the amazement and incredulity of other people.

The most irritating part of it is that were you to explain very rationally that slashing people's face with a pizza knife isn't kewl then the syndrome part is where they attack you for stating the bleeding obvious. The psychology being if they agree with you, then you might tell and there might be consequences. A defense mechanism so to speak. It's like a say a wife who get's slapped around by her husband and when a friend looks to support her finds themselves turned on with excuses such as 'well at least he doesn't punch me with his fists' or 'he's under a lot of stress'. Logic and rationality goes out the window.

The guy who got slashed is a mate of mine lovely guy the scar he has is very nasty it was so close to his neck half a centimetre lower he would be dead. Ya man should of been thrown in the river along with the pizza knife for what he did:mad:

Then there's this gem on FB from one of the relatives: :rolleyes:

... And I'm sure all commenting on this are perfect never been n court n their life's 😁

:pac::pac::pac:

Sure he was probably just out looking for some unattended, uncut pizza. Can't think of any other reason a man would walk around at night time with a 4 inch blade. Thankfully he only permanently scarred them and didn't murder anyone.
