    she seemed like a tough auld boot fair play to her, at least she was honest about what justice she wanted and not the usual i hope they get locked away etc etc

    I support burglars rights, their right to be shot after a fair trial.

    Reminds me of the scene in The Outlaw Josey Wales when one of the characters says "They were decently fed, and then they were decently shot".

    What a crazy old bat



    Fair play to her

    Inspiring.

    Board's criminal amnesty poster watchdog must be vomiting with disgust at this thread. :D

    This is the kind of small town parochial thinking that needs to be eradicated from this isle.

    I'd be more concerned about "eradicating" violent scumbags and thieving fcuks before considering euthanasia for elderly burglary victims.

    Oh, aren't you so great and humane. I suppose you aren't 78, live on your own, have been the victim of 2 violent burglaries in your own home, in a matter of months. At least the poor old lady spoke her mind. Why should she live in fear like that and let those people have control over her and god only knows how many other people. Maybe if someone with her mentality was in charge, Ireland wouldn't be so lawless.

    Lawless? Please. It's not like Ireland is fcuking Ciudad Juarez.

    Couldn't agree more.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    These scum should be shot between the eyes. So brave when attacking old people, but then cry about their human rights when caught :rolleyes:


    Fair play to Phyllis and to these 2 lads

    Two 'old boys' give would-be burglars the brush-off

    TWO brave pensioner brothers have told of how they fought off would-be burglars with a brush at their home.
    ....The brothers said they were sitting in the living room of their tiny cottage on the town's Main Street when they spotted shadows in the kitchen.

    "Jim grabbed the brush and took the shaft to them.

    "He gave one of them a good bleaching (beating) and shouted to me to get the gun. They'd be a bit mad to tackle Jim. He might be 75 but he could still go a few rounds with Sonny Liston.

    "They ran out of here like bats out of hell; good enough for them for trying to rob two old boys like us who've never done anyone any harm," said Eric...........

    In Sligo town, a 94-year-old and a 74-year-old were targeted by raiders. And a Chinese woman in her 60s who runs a takeaway in the town was robbed of her night's takings by two masked men, one armed with a baseball bat, when she arrived home at 1am on Sunday morning.

    Two Samaritan workers in their 60s were robbed of a small sum of cash by an attacker armed with a screwdriver as they left the organisation's office in Sligo in the early hours of Saturday.

    To be honest I would much our laws were changed so that punishments actually reflected the severity of the crime. Life should mean life and all that.

    I would rather we did not turn into a nation of blood thirsty vigilantes, as many here seem to be advocated.

    And I can't honestly say I could be emotionless and cold enough to enjoy watching another person die. I hope we never ever stoop to that.

    I despise criminals in all their forms from the tax evader to the murderer but I really don't think lowering ourselves to levels I mentioned above will do anything for anyone.

    So I take it that you don't believe in human rights. That no-one should have any rights at all. Because the thing is they're called human rights for a reason, either everyone has them or their pointless.

    I don't believe that people that intentionally cause harm to others should have human rights. They forfeit their rights when they attack elderly people.


    Boo hoo for them

    well believe it or not the same thing happened again to to seperate elderly people in donegal yesterday again

    people who prey on the elderly or children should get more severe punishiments

    Yes, even the old people, but they're not as important ?

    What are the government doing about this? oh yes that's right cutting funding for the alarms. Free legal aid for the scum.

    The alarm cut was reversed

    Human rights do not make old people less important!

    I think they u turned that decision now about cutting the alarms, i think i read that somewhere

    After pressure from lobbist groups. Those cuts should never have been entertained in the first place. Why not look at cutting free legal aid for those on second and subsequent offences instead?

    well i dont know the answer to that, but id imagine its probably something to do with a human right for proper legal represantion if you cant afford a barrister yourself to give the defendant an equal chance to defend him/herself in a court. you cant really send someone to court and expect them to know the "technical" side of things

    I fail to see what's so great about this. I don't think its ever good to want to watch people being shot. I'd be happy enough if they were arrested.

    So they have no human rights? should we use them for human experimentation. We could infect them with horrible diseases and televise it. It'd be like big brother in auchwitz. We'd even make money off the television rights. And as for porn channels, we could just televise the rape of female offenders.

    And as for the innocent people who happen to get thrown in by accident. Well that's tough. It's not like they can provide any new evidence or appeal the conviction. They don't have any right to appeal. Those rights were stripped by you.

    Think I'm being disgusting? I don't actually believe any of that, but you do. Because you said that they forfeit their rights. That's what that actually means.

    If you don't like it, then try living in a country with no human rights. If you do believe it, then don your cape and cowl and start gunning down people with convictions. There's a name for people like that, psychos.

    I never suggested we torture them, shoot the humanly straight between the eyes. If they don't like it, maybe they shouldn't do the crime

    No, you suggested that they had no rights. So what i described would be acceptable if they had no rights.

    So, do they have rights or don't they?

    No they have no rights. They had rights but they gave them up when they decided to break in to a persons house and attack them. Do what you like to them. I only suggested to kill them humanely to please the liberal bleeding hearts out there. In fairness I don't really give a fcuk if they are tortured or not. If they can't take it, they shouldn't give it.


    Why are you defending them? Vested interest??

    We should buy her and padraic nally a minibus and they can drive around the countryside "solving crimes"

    Thankfully, you'll never get a chance to enact such a stupid system, so we're all spared the bullshit that would follow.

    Vested interests? Yes, I am a criminal kingpin. I personally coordinate attacks against the elderly and take a 10% share. It used to be 20% but thye criminals unionised. I also own a time share in a terrorist training facility.

    What do you mean by vested interests?

    And you actually said that they have no human rights. I'm not miss quoting you.

    I was thinking more along the lines of solicitor or barrister who earns money by having repeat criminals in front of them, but whatever side you want to align yourself with

    Already explained about having no human rights, see my previous post.

    OP, you are living in the dark ages. I don't know a single old lady who would think and as you are suggesting is typical. :rolleyes:
