Law & Order Broken Down

As long as the Layabouts Before People brigade continue to provide free dole and houses for dirtbags, this will be our way of life.

Am I reading this wrong or are you relating people voicing their concerns on scum getting off far too lightly by law enforcement and judges to whinging?

And the unfortunate thing is that each new thread is about the scum breaking the law and getting away with it due to the soft law and order we have in this country.

Just the first ep, it's like a crossover / pilot eposode

Attacker is originally from Romania, only 18, looks like they are sending their finest here. The next hearing they want to have an interpretar present.

I saw that on VMN, what's more alarming is he got Bail and of course Free legal Aid. With one of the victims in critical condition and two assault charges, I was astonished he got bail, beggar's belief.

Apparently he had to hand in his passport, it's just extraordinary notwithstanding recent horrific incidents and minister for Justice, yet again promising action bail was granted with a victim in critical condition.

The sight of this individual along with 2 friends walking out of the court with not a care in the world was galling 😳

The Irish Justice Industry (let's be honest it is an industry rather than a system at this point) is fundamentally set up to keep violent offenders on the street. Someone with 100 convictions is a cash cow. Let's say the various legal fees etc per case comes to 20,000 per case. Between all the solicitors, barristers, clerks etc etc on both sides that'll be in the ball park per case. 100 convictions means one scroate criminal makes €2 million for the justice industry. That's a lot of BMWs and Michelin starred meals. So of course they will be financially invested in keeping the scroate on the street committing crimes.

We need to take sentencing out of the control of the justice industry. Say after 5 convictions there needs to be legislation to make sure the scroate has to serve the maximum sentence for the crime. No reduced sentences. No suspended sentences. Nearly release. Don't let the judge have any ability to send the scroate out on the street early to earn more money for their solicitor and barrister mates.

I don't know what you're on about screamer, but it's been like this since I joined AGS back around 2007, continued throughout my time until I quit 10 years later, and is still continuing to this day. It won't, and can't, change because there's no proper will for it. Too many people involved are making too much money off the back of crime, and only the victims are left wanting.

The judiciary already have limited discretion on what sentence they award (and these days award seems to be the best description). Legislation related to a crime usually sets the maximum sentence and/or fine. The problem is the judiciary get in there and utterly undermine those maximum sentences by granting time off for every possible excuse so that the habitual criminal is free as soon as possible in order to commit more crimes and therefore generate more income for the members of the criminal justice industry. The answer is to take that discretion away from the judiciary and the criminal justice industry. For a clearly un-reformable criminal after 5 convictions then judges should be there only to make sure the law is applied correctly during the case. But on sentencing the criminal should get and serve the maximum sentence for the crime as set down in the legislation without possibility for early release, time off for good behaviour, compassionate grounds, etc, etc, etc, etc.

^^^^^^^

do i?? and where do i say that??

These stories about the victims in these cases leaves me breathless in anger. I really cannot believe that we as a country have these embarrassments to the human race out there committing crimes on our own streets. While the victims, who were out there to just mind their own business, are left trying to continue to deal with the emotional turmoil of their own situation.

I really cannot understand, living in 21st century Ireland, why have we become so cruel & heartless towards other innocent people in this day and age while they try to recover from going through this mentally destructive horsesh1t.

It's utterly brainless behaviour at this point.

Do people, who take part in this stuff, not have a moral compass in them anymore while they commit these crimes to their potential victims on a day to day basis.
