This is an awful and upsetting story. I think I have had the tv on too much today and it keeps popping up, must change off that rte rolling news channel.

Anything that we can do? I sent an email to JCB's Irish distributor ( http://ecijcb.ie/ ) to ask if they could give him a site tour. I don't know the man or his family.

I know that means I've done the sum total of **** all, but it's all my brain could think of.

P.S Diggers are cool.

Del.Monte · 17-04-2015 08:00PM

Heard that story today too and words fail...it's high time some of these sick ****ers were apprehended, put through the courts and made an example of.

Great idea about the JCB visit!

Grays Sports Almanac · 17-04-2015 08:04PM

Poor guy. Really felt sorry for him.

I hope those scumbags are caught. Or better yet, same happens to them x10.

Putin · 17-04-2015 08:06PM

If I had my way, I'd send the scum to the Lubyanka or the Gulags.

Cold War Kid · 17-04-2015 08:11PM

Poor guy.

Similar kinda situation took place in Cork only a few weeks ago: http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0402/691766-autism/

Horrible fuqs.

People have responded with great kindness in both cases though. Most people are good - I hate this hipster, misanthropic "People are cuntts" stuff. Most people aren't, that's why we're appalled by stories like these.

Piriz · 17-04-2015 08:14PM

That is a brilliant idea, fair play OP. Id be happy to contribute to a whip around for this guy if one comes into existence...

Agent Coulson · 17-04-2015 08:15PM

What I wish we could do is get a load of those JCB's dig a huge pit out in the middle of nowhere and fill that pit with all those scumbags and let them fed off each other like rats in a barrel.

Banjo String · 17-04-2015 08:19PM

Read about this last night, one of my mates was posting about it on Facebook, i think he knows the lads sister.

What a bunch of lowlifes tbh, that poor lads world seems to be a harmless and happy one.

No need for scumbags like that to take it away from him. :mad:

heldel00 · 17-04-2015 08:19PM

This poor man has been on my mind all day. Such a horrible horrible to happen to him.
Years ago people were appalled at the Jamie Bolger case and the fact that one culprit could cajole the other into participating in horrific crime but I have real fears when I hear three fúcking ba$tards do something like this and not one of them would have the conscience to say "no hold on this is wrong."
Slaphappy culture gone out of control and escalating rapidly.

SEPT 23 1989 · 17-04-2015 08:21PM

Find them and put their names and faces on the front of the Herald and let the good people of Dublin deal with them

fcuking cowards:mad:

Im sure the lads at JCB will give him a tour and all the merchandise he can carry

Piriz · 17-04-2015 08:21PM

Could boards.ie organise a formal collection for this chap? might be able to salvage something positive from this...

Gmol · 17-04-2015 08:22PM

Great idea OP will contact jcb as well and hopefully they can do something nice for him.
Fair play to you.

kfallon · 17-04-2015 08:23PM

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from those 3 pricks!

Great idea OP, let us know if you get a reply or maybe we could all send an email asking them to give him a tour, peer pressure and all that!

crazygeryy · 17-04-2015 08:28PM

listening to his sister being interviewed this morning.all he likes doing and i mean all he likes doing is watching his dvds ,taking rides on the bus into town and looking at diggers and jcbs.thats it.what ****ing harm does that do to anyone!?
and along come these B A S T A R D S and they do this.and now he is afraid to go anywhere and nervous all the time.

i hope they find you and i hope you get yours you evil little mother****ers.

Valetta · 17-04-2015 08:28PM

Scumbag cowards.

It's both heartbreaking and disgusting that we have these low life living among us.

Will gladly contribute to any fund that is set up.

I'd usually be against the idea of it, but when I hear about stories like this or ones of assaults on the elderly or animal abuse I wonder if they'd be so prevalent if mandatory national service / conscription existed here. More and more youngsters have no respect for society, themselves or others these days.. and it only seems to be getting worse.

The threat of being caught is no deterrent obviously. Might be better to nip it in the bud before it ever rears its head. Not saying we'd be living in a utopia just because of conscription but I'd be willing to bet there'd be less instances of vandalism and mindless attacks like this if more young people had a sense of civic pride instilled in them.

Buona Fortuna · 17-04-2015 08:33PM

Sorry to hear about this. The story is far from unique as someone above said but I always kidded myself that "we" were better than that.

Obviously not

heldel00 · 17-04-2015 08:37PM

Only back from ten days in Abu Dhabi and I never heard a siren nor laid eyes on police the whole time we were there. Zero crime rate because zero tolerance for it. You steal, your hand is cut off!
Now maybe that is a bit extreme but there has to be something done. There has to be a fear of repercussion for your crime.

lazygal · 17-04-2015 08:37PM

I'm not that emotional usually but I cried hearing about this. My littleboy is nearly two and loves watching jcbs and diggers so all I could think about was a man with his mental age getting the same enjoyment out of it and what my child would think if he was threatened like this poor man was. How these idiots could pick on someone like this man is sickening. And the threat of rape is especially vile. Who says things like that to anyone?

Frito · 17-04-2015 08:54PM

Nice idea OP, I emailed them too.

That's so thoughtful and kind.

I hope they run with it and give him a day out to remember. Just to remind him there's more to people than the horrors that assaulted him.

CiDeRmAn · 17-04-2015 09:07PM

I've worked in the field of intellectual disability for 25 years and the depths to which kids will sink to to get their kicks, in making a vulnerable adult suffer for laughs, is all too common.
There's a lot to be said for humiliating ass hats like that in public, seeing as they think public humiliation is acceptable.

17-04-2015 09:10PM

It adds another dimension of disgusting to know that the assault was filmed on phones, for posting to social media presumably, or for just reliving the experience and sharing it with other human horrors.

Its bad enough the poor guy was bullied and assaulted, it's even worse to know the humiliation is recorded and being 'enjoyed' by others.

c_man · 17-04-2015 09:34PM

Ugh, what absolute scumbags. Imagine the complete lack of humanity you'd have to have in order to do this.

Fair play to the woman who took him to get cleaned up after.

bjork · 17-04-2015 09:36PM

Have the animals been caught? This is outrageous. What utter scum.

OP that's a lovely idea with the JCB place. Fair play to you.

CCTV all over the park

only a matter of time

Thatllteachya · 17-04-2015 09:43PM

I go running in fairview park most evenings and never came across anything like this. Wish I had though, any excuse to knock the **** out of a summer.

Is the CCTV public? Are the Gardai looking for help to track them?

If not, the hold up is maddening> Let's be having 'em.

deco nate · 17-04-2015 09:48PM

Just to let you all know, jcb Ireland have already offered the family an invite to the Dublin depot for the day and for him to sit in and get a closer look, put on a display. I'm sure they will give loads of bits an bobs too.
Fair play to them.

Eh... it was only reported on Wednesday night. What 'hold up' are you on about? I doubt having a load of internet warriors on the hunt for them is going to help Gardai do their job.

Relax the cacks!
