    tbh if he had eventually dropped the savages then the judge would probably have thrown the book at him, although the footage showed that his response was proportionate and he was making every effort to try withdraw from the situation.

    Jesus! That video is absolutely enraging to watch. Fair play to the boyfriend for showing restraint like that, but he really should have gotten much more of those big heavy hitting head punches in. He looks exhausted in it though.

    I almost cheered at 45 seconds when he flings one of the bitches on her face.

    really scarey situation to be in - you wouldn't know what was going on... I personally would find it hard to hit a woman but after setting on my GF i'd be on them like bees, first thing is get her on her feet, shoes off so she can run and get her down the road then look after the smelly skanks

    Boyfriend looked drunk in that video, he fell over while trying to throw a punch. But it's lucky he was there because if he wasn't, who knows what would have happened?

    Also, why is one of the black girls jumping up and down when the police arrive?

    Ridiculous that they got off without jail time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,451 ✭✭✭Lord Trollington


    It'd be windmill time if anyone set on my girlfriend like that.

    Not hitting a girl goes out the window when people act like savages.

    On that note, I think women take privilege on this men not hitting them rule all the time.

    It was their nationality that got them away with this so i'd say everything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    The judge didn't say "I'll let you go because you're Somalian".

    *cough* i'm on your side but it was their religion, not nationality that exonerated them

    quote from their defence apparently:

    'They’re Somalian Muslims and alcohol or drugs isn’t something they’re used to.’

    I hate thick paddies too :)

    He did not imply, suggest or subliminally indicate their nationality had anything to do with it.

    I don't know where you're getting that from.

    Religion =/= nationality.

    Somalians are usually black yes?If that had of been four British White Girls the book would of been thrown at them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    I think this is actually disgusting.

    I get what the big bad men in this forum are saying but the boyfriend didnt really stand a chance with three of them now did he? And drunk people don't fell pain in the same way.

    These people were walking along the road, minding their own business when they were brutally attacked. The court ruling was simply racist. Full stop.

    Lets exchange the girl for some black lad getting the shít kicked outta him by three irish lads. Would that court ruling have gone the same way? What about four irish girls randomly attacking some muslim passing by in a burka minding her own business??

    The double standards in this country are disgusting. And whats worse is, as mentioned above, if the boyfriend had actually injured one of the attackers chances were they would have had him in court for GBH and then all of a sudden it's the story of a guy reacting over the top to a little drunken banter and getting jail time.

    I dont want to live in this world anymore....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    They got off because they were Muslims. Inferring they got off because the are from a black African country is racist imo.

    Just as racist as shouting "get the white bitch" and attacking someone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,389 ✭✭✭FTGFOP


    Remember lads, you must never, ever hit a woman.

    Never hit a lady. Ladies don't start fights though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer

    Thye could have just ran for it.

    Just saying.

    Your right, they were all locked off their faces, anytime any of them did anything they fell over.

    :D where did you there?

    Fook me.

    What next.

    Let them off because they are somalians. Somalians can't handle their drink.

    Poor white people draw the short straw again.

    Yep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    well at least there was 40 or posts before it decended into casual rasist remarks. Gotta be a record for AH and a thread of this nature!

    like people are saying though the "not used to drink" is never an excuse otherwise it'd be used everywhere. It seems to me the judge got it completly wrong and so did the BF.

    Both afraid of doing the right thing becuase of PC rules.

    Its the Daily Mail, and there not above making crap up.

    Having said that, if its true, its a ridiculous sentence, and they should have punished, regardless of whether they were use to alchohol or not.

    Yep.

    i didn't want to point anyone to the daily mail site but seeing as its been mentioned anyone else notice the web address for this story on the site?

    They have a link to a video of the attack (the joys of getting assaulted in England is it will probably end up on the internet) so you can decide for yourself if you feel the attack was unwarranted.

    After watching the video i find the idea that they were let off without a sentence to be jokes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭Loomis


    If the boyfriend wasn't there, they would likely have killed her.
    Now look at the 'sentence' they got.
    Pathetic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,309 ✭✭✭Vertigo100


    I think the guy went too easy on them. He is holding his jacket while trying to fend them off. If some one attacked my girlfriend like that no matter of colour, race or religion they would have to go through me first and I wouldn't stop until they had knocked me out/broken half the bones in my body. I would use any means necessary to protect people close to me.

    Jesus if the they that to my dog I go ballistic on them.

    Was the boyfriend pissed?

    Best way to defend her was to stand in front of her and bash anyone that comes forward. Couple of punches later they would've walked off.

    Suppose hindsight is a great thing.
