Child Item

The death of Thiago Cortes MOD NOTE IN OP

Thelonious Monk

The poor man was only 28 and had a fiance. Killed by 4 scumbags in a Ford Fiesta who then did a runner, in the IFSC area. He was hit on Monday but died today. How could you crash into a man and leave him dying there? I've spent enough time in that area to have seen children flying around on scramblers, foreign security guards attacked and having racist slurs shouted at them, f*cking horses racing up and down. In the city centre. It's ridiculous.
This case has really struck a chord with me because I cycle to work myself, and the fact that the guy is earning minimum wage working for Deliveroo, part of the gig economy, just trying to earn a few quid.
Law and order seems to be non existent in the city centre, I mean if we can't keep that under control what the f*ck do the Garda actually do?
Why are we ok with the city centre being such a hotbed of antisocial behaviour? I've lived in many cities before and I know other countries have problems, but you don't see the stuff you see in the city centre here in other city centres.
RIP to the poor man, and remember how rough these delivery guys have it in Dublin, they are often assaulted by scumbags and put up with all kinds of sh*t.

When Paul Murphy is elected by the people of Jobstown whilst shouting he was elected to break the law as people surround a TD's car throwing bricks and eggs at it, you know we live in a country full of scumbags.

Protect yourself and your family as noone else will.

You're on your own in this country....

Is there a gofundme for the man and his family

No doubt all 4 of the scumbags in that car have multiple convictions already.

Ya never know, one of them might be too young.

Yeah I think he was Moldovan but that was horrible too, no one got done for it. I did give to his gofundme I hope they set one up for this guy's fiance and family for repatriation etc.

This is the punishment the driver of the scrambler received.

A Garda spokesman said: "A file was forwarded to the DPP for direction. This matter is to be dealt with by way of the Juvenile Diversion Programme (JDP)."

The man lost his left eye and sustained multiple fractures to his forehead, nasal bones and jaw in the incident. He also suffered a severe brain injury and haemorrhage.

RIP Mr Cortes

I'd love to see all the wee anti-social leprechauns and drug gang twats in Dublin who think they're hard dropped into a Brazilian favela, wonder how long they'd last...

No doubt all 4 of the scumbags in that car have multiple convictions already. As much as i agree regarding the Garda avoiding the hard work, the main issue is that when these animals are caught the courts do nothing about them and they are free to go.

On a side not the media or Gardai handling of this has been piss poor, no proper description of the car given by any media outlet despite the fact the car was found and recovered on the night it occured. A 2005 Ford Focus is the best we get, no colour, no registration, no outstanding features, really, really poor when a person is dead and 4 people are at large. It might click in someones memory of the night in question or be captured on dashcam, Ford Focus was a very popular car back in the day.

There are pictures released. It's a Silver MK2 Ford Focus hatchback. 05. Looking at the picture, if you seen the car after the event you'd remember it.

There's a high chance these pricks will be captured on CCTV somewhere around Dublin 1 and identified hopefully.

They probably know who was in it. They just need to collect evidence. I heard on the radio they were asking for people with dash-cam footage who were in that area around that time.
I'm not sure what broadcasting the numberplate to people all over the country would do.

Sickening. This country has a dark future unless we get a real police force and there are real consequences for scumbaggery. The Gards are useless.

Thiago's death made news in Brazil I see: https://g1.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2020/09/02/brasileiro-e-morto-apos-atropelamento-em-dublin.ghtml

RIP to him.

God rest him, hope they catch the scrotes so the driver can do 3 years with the final 18 months suspended.

I suspect that would hit recruitment hard and we may then find ourselves policed by people who care little about hurting others, including anyone caught up in any crossfire

RIP to Tiago Cortes - hopefully there will be some forensic evidence in the car that will lead the Gardai to the culprits

And only a stones throw from where Donna Fox was killed on a bicycle also. The more things change...

what makes me laugh is you will see in other threads that people want millennials like me to pay good money to move into these areas and if i don't want to i have "notions".

In fairness most of us can't afford to live in the IFSC anyway, you're looking at 1000 euros a month for a decent room there.

Agree with OP, this story has struck a chord. Reminds me of the poor Albanian man ran over by a scrambler while lying down in a park, IIRC he was suffered very serious brain injuries.

I don't know how ordinary decent people can live in these areas with the reports of constant anti social behaviour.

The irony is the poor man has come to Ireland to try and improve his life, while the perpetrators are happy to let the government hand them everything from cradle to grave!

It's not exclusive to the inner city. The Garda operate an à la carte approach to criminality, mainly enforcing the law on easy targets forsaking the more difficult, time consuming or arduous enforcements. If you call them and say 81 year old Michael from Walkinstown is on the bus without a mask they'll be waiting at the next stop, tell them there's a group of 15 lads aiming fireworks at 81 year old Micks house and it'll be 24 hours before you see a squad car.

I was at a mayday outdoor festival in frankfurt in 2010. music, hotdogs, massive beers candy floss. the works.

when the music stopped there was rows of squad cars and police vans with the cops there leaning on the vehicles tooled up with cable ties and batons, guns on hips.

There wasn't a glass broke, a wheelie bin upturned or ole olers pissing against the wall or dancing on phone boxes. Everyone just shuffled on home civilly.

It always stuck with me. We don't fear the cops in Ireland at all. And violence would solve it.

These young lads you see mouthing off at cops in these viral videos would have been sorted out in the 80's with a good hiding. Give them an inch....

Gardaí are searching for four people who they believe were in a car that knocked down and killed a cyclist in Dublin on Monday night.
