    "Here is an alleged burglar who suffered brutal street justice after locals caught him leaving a burgled house in an Irish estate.

    Sources said that the man was one of two alleged burglars who had kicked in the door of a house at Churchfield Greens, on the north side of Cork city, on Sunday night."

    Does AH people think they deserved it?Or is it step in the wrong direction for Irish society?

    I'd say yes, people won't ring the gardai,as you'd be dead by the time they arrived.

    Maybe they tripped on the step whilst leaving the house?

    Deserved it. Maybe they’ll think twice before burgling again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,445 ✭✭✭mloc123


    Yes... unlike a suspended sentence maybe a good beating will have them think twice before they break into another house

    proper order, risky business robbing houses on corks northside

    In this case I don't mind a bit of vigilantism. Scumbag was caught red-handed and got his árse kicked. A reading from the Gospel according to Nally.

    The new breed of "Facebook Vigilantism" where people share a photograph of a supposed pedophile without knowing the full story is dangerous and to be discouraged.

    They were caught in the act of robbing a persons home. IMO they deserved to have seven shades kicked out of them. That doesn’t tend to happen to people who commit burglary and perhaps it should, and more often, to act as a deterrent to would be burglars rather than expect law abiding citizens to have to put up with a farcical system of justice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,519 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    Them curbs are shocking bad there they must have tripped alright.


    Pity this doesn't happen more often.

    In the old Soviet Union it was a common occurrence for a prisoner to fall out a second or third floor window whilst trying to escape from a Police Barracks. Cost efficient.

    "Gardaí are appealing any witnesses to contact Gurranabraher on 021 4946200."

    Yeah, right I am sure they will be getting a flood of calls.
    Guards not interested in homes getting ransacked and public not interested in scum getting a bit of alleged street justice.

    I like how the paper says alleged burglars but is dead sure about the vicious street justice.

    Why are the Guards wasting scarce resources investigating this alleged affray?

    Looks like we're all in violent agreement :D

    Well, they got their pictures in the paper I sure most that know them would say they never looked better.:D

    Grew up in that part of the city and my mother still lives there. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to rob houses in one of the roughest parts of cork didn't have much of a brain to damage. Lots of rumours going around as to what condition the lads are in but from the pictures i've seen they got a bad bad beating and possibly had fingers lobbed off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,200 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Looks like they won't be stealing anything for a while.

    Scum like that often prey on elderly defenceless people, it's nice to see them get some of their own medicine.

    Looks like he really messed up his face in the fall.

    The thing that bugs me about this is this lad will be in A&E/hospital wards taking up space now from other people.
    Then he might be able to get onto some kind of illness benefit for years or even life with no pressure to do courses/etc.
    It might keep him out of this sort of petty criminality depending on how he recovers from his injuries.
    There's also the issue of copy cat attacks which could end up being fatal and the people would have to live with killing somebody which isn't an easy thing to do.
    These people generally come from rough enough families and they could make your and your families he'll if you were involved in the assault.

    Alleged assault looks like a pretty nasty fall to me.
    Maybe they could sue the local authority for the state of the footpaths.

    I don't know what happened here.
    I think my point is if you assaulted a burgular. It mightn't be worth it in the long run.

    True, need to full Nally.

    Yes, I know what you're saying risky alright.
    Hopefully, they won't be in any condition to identify any of their alleged attackers.

    Well the families in that area are no pushovers as seen in the pictures.they won't lose sleep.

    I hope those chaps can move on, and arent too traumatised from the nights events.

    He saw Keano on the telly at the match in Cardiff and reckoned now was his chance.

    Some hardy boys in Churchfield. Reminds me of that poor bastard who tried to rob a caravan in Dunsink last year. What does be going through these people's heads in order to think that's a good idea? Surely there's less risky gaffs to rob?

    Also have no sympathy for thieving c*nts robbing working class people. Deserve everything they get.

    Why did this gang (from tipp and Dublin so probably well travelled) choose a house on the north of cork city, hardly a rich area?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭fleet_admiral


    At least the grass broke his fall, the poor mite

    As the Yong lad who encountered my dogs once told me “I’m sorry I picked the wrong house”
    I’m the funt in the runners I don’t need to outrun the leopard only the other guy
    And so is my village ( we have no crime. Is we wouldn’t report it we’d just be ready next time)
