according to the article he was uninjured....
it's the guy that lost the arm that died.

If anyone's looking for him he's in Kilmainham Garda station.

Looking at the picture that's one bad ass pole.. not even a scratch on it.

Look I stand to be proven wrong - but I sincerely doubt this guy has done much good to society in the past, or would have ever done so in his future (if he'd been lucky enough to have one.)

People who violently hijack taxis generally don't do so as a random once off.

We can blame him, we can blame his upbringing, whatever. He had become the person he was, for whatever reason, and it was not a good person.

I don't rejoice in his death, but it's hard to see it as a bad thing as it (very most likely) reduces the figures of future crimes and even, quite possibly, reduces future deaths of non-criminals.

Would I rather he was still out there hijacking other drivers? I'll be honest, no. I'm sorry if it's a case that whatever factors in his life made him this way, but this seems to be the way he ended up. It's unfortunate.

Rehabilitation would of course be the ideal solution. I'm not convinced that this works too often.

I'm not happy about his death. I'm happy that his life and lifestyle won't result in even more victims. Like that taxidriver. My sympathies are mainly with him.

it would be hilarious if someone carjacked the hearse on the way to the funeral

He'll probably get the full extent of the law thrown at him and serve a 6 month suspended sentence

At the end of the day it's still someones son, someone's brother, maybe someones father.

Oh please just stop, ofc it's sad for the family but he is just a scumbag I hope he died a horrible death good honest people die everyday, take a look around at a hospice and you will see people suffering from awful illnesses while good for nothing brain dead vermin like those two clowns are robbing honest people.

My condolences to the families for breeding 2 clowns,the taxi man who probably is very shaken up,the pole,the taxi,the insurance company who have to pay for all this and the unfortunate doctors or nurses who have to treat that other idiot who I hope dies a horrible death.

And now he'll never harm someones son, brother or father again.

This sums up my feelings on it. It's not that I want revenge, but I want to be sure that he does not get a chance to repeat his actions. There are very few cases of car-jackers reforming into valuable, contributing members of society and our legal system does not serve us well in that regard.

His absence from our society, however tragic, avoids many other tragedies in the future.

Why do people car jack others? The chances of actually getting away with the car in this day and age, especially in cities, is just so slim. The risk benefit ratio is too high.

The calibre of person doing the car jacking kinda answers that one.

Your quote highlights exactly how stupid they are, anyone will an ounce of common sense would know that.

The other thing I was thinking of is what they were thinking of doing with the car, they could be using it for a tiger raid or robbery of some sort, people's cars are always stolen for either to be chopped, rebranded and different reg, or used to commit a more vile crime.

They got what they deserved, whatever they were going to do with the car now won't happen, they can't cause any more harm

I kinda felt guilty this morning for immediately thinking, oh well.. No loss there, but I'm glad I'm not on my own, it seems to be a vast majority of people consider it karma

mike65 · 08-06-2014 11:07pm

Pity the taxi driver, lost his car and he probably got racially abused as it happened to boot.

Yeah, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler.

Honestly don't see why anyone would have sympathy for either of the "victims" in this. That pole could just as easily been a family they crashed into and as such most people are just glad that it was one of the hijackers who died. Can imagine the kind of self serving drivel we will read about them in the coming days. Family and friends will claim that the deceased was a great lad, made one mistake, blah, blah, blah.

Guys, of course I am going to get the reply that I am trolling.
I am not.

The comments here are sickening. I know Woopsadaisydoodles highlighted we should be cognisant of the family, and we should. But to rejoice in anyone's death... incredible.

I have every bit of sympathy for the taxi driver here, but it is a shocking social tragedy also that this happened in the first place.

Karma is a brutal .Every action has a reaction .Maybe not straight away like in this case but eventually things pan out .I would not like to be in the car drivers shoes .Prison will be the least of his worries .

Is there any truth in the rumours that he beat the crap out of the taxi driver before he stole the car?

Then of course, sticking to the speed limit in a built up area a pole appeared and collided with the stolen car.

His unintentionally dangerous driving killed his "mate" and he fled the scene, perhaps because he was traumatised!

Hopefully the Gardaí took him to hospital for a medical check and that the judge will be lenient.

VinLieger · 09-06-2014 8:21am

The simple fact is the world is a tiny bit of a better place than it was a few days ago, i dont think anyone apart from this mans friends and family will be crying and of course I fully expect to hear the usual "ah shuwer he was a kind sowel, didnt mean no harm and wouldnt huwert a fly"

anto9 · 09-06-2014 8:59am

I would be curious to see his photo .The scum left his mate to die ,after he caused the accident.

flanzer · 09-06-2014 9:00am

For anyone in doubt about the driver of the car (someones son, someones brother, someones father) - he fled the scene to leave his mate dying alone.

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/carjacker-flees-wreckage-as-friend-lies-dying-on-street-30338953.html

It's a pity the little scrote didn't flee into the front of a passing bus. The only people I have sympathy here for, are the emergency services who arrived to that scene, or anyone who witnessed it or the aftermath

whomitconcerns · 09-06-2014 9:07am

and so it begins defence of his character and his actions...as if its normal behaviour...and this is why the cycle doesnt get stopped...instea dof people using this as a reason to convince others not to do it...they just say he was unlucky and didnt deserve it..thereby no lesson to be learnt by anyone.

I want to see an interview "Yeh he was a toerag, always commiting crimes for himself, didnt give a damn about his childs future, as long as he had his laugh, pity he died, but it was always going to happen"

http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/crime/alex-doyle-taxi-death-face-3663442

Orla Louise McGuigan and Michelle Noonan were close pals of the dead father who lived on Cuffe Street, South Dublin.
Unemployed Doyle had a young daughter Lexi, who was just two years of age, and he lived with his mother Jane.
Ms Noonan said: “Alex was a lovely young fellow and he has a two-year-old daughter.
“He did something wrong but he didn’t deserve to die like this.”
Ms McGuigan added: “People do stupid things but Alex didn’t deserve to die. When you are under the influence you do stupid things.”
Appealing to other young people Ms McGuigan said: “No matter how fun it seems at the time please think before you do anything stupid like this.
“It might seem like fun but the consequences are huge.”

anto9 · 09-06-2014 9:20am

>>He (Doyle the now dead one ) had addiction issues but he was dealing with them quite successfully.<<

Yes ,right ,W.T.F.

Modern cars are much harder to steal by brute force; you can break into them, but getting them started is much more difficult. Hence, take the car with the keys.

I love this defence of character bull****, “People do stupid things but Alex didn’t deserve to die. When you are under the influence you do stupid things.”
"Stupid things" under the influence are saying the wrong thing to your boss, falling out of your chair or sticking food in the microwave and then falling asleep. Non-scum do not rob cars because they've had a few drinks or pills. You have to be a scumbag first.

He didn't deserve to die, but at the same time you'd have to live in another universe to say that this was a stupid drunk mistaken gotten out of hand.

We've a two year old girl now who with any luck will grow up with stories about how great her father was and have a lovely image of him in her head rather than have to live with a half-absentee drunken mess who spends half his life in and out of prison and the other half off his face and neglecting his child.

And in 14 years when she's involved in crime and beating some girl in school up (if she's still in school and not just some gangsters moll at that stage) will we be glad if she dies as a result of crime?

Agree. I'm really shocked by the level of vitriol, people saying things like "I hope he died screaming" - the fuuck? That's a bit sick and weird.

well i dont hope or wish he died either way facts are

He committed a serious crime. and died while doing it. We are lucky no one else died as a result.

If he hadnt died this time and cant reoffend then what about next time, what if your family member was killed by him.

So while not happy he died, I think its a benefit to society in the long run that he did. No further cost to society in prison costs, social costs, loss of life costs.

I agree that it is no loss to society, and of course it could have been worse if he had hit someone else. Thankfully he did not. As someone who was almost orphaned by "boy racers" I can appreciate more than most that this guy's passing is not exactly tragedy of the year. However, I still think it is sick to hope that anyone "died screaming" or that his 5th vertebrae went through his mind before he died etc. ffs, that's just unnecessary savage vitriol. The guy is dead. Good. We dont need to be baying for gore.

anto9 · 09-06-2014 10:04am

He died in a flash .Better for him in the long run and a lot better for society,I.M.O Yes he lost his arm ,but he will not be needing it now .(Was going to put a smiley but that would be in poor taste )

Not enought prisons but that could be solved with 40 inmates to a cell ,like here in Thailand .One bowl of spuds a day would keep food costs down also .

1940's Chicago comes to Dublin.

Maybe the child's mother will teach her to grow up and NOT commit crime like most loving parents do, Without this negative influence around her she is probably better off.

Am listening, You always get them on and they can't understand that people think he is scum. They don't realise that normal people do not just go out and car jack someones car and drive like a ****ing idiot through the streets of a city.

Ash.J.Williams · 09-06-2014 10:28am

this is different then wishing we had the death penalty for crime....this is wishing somebody was killed before he kills innocent bystanders...that car was a death machine and luckily it stopped quickly and nobody else was killed
