Quote from: The Butcher on April 29, 2025, 08:04:18 AMI'd like to know the re-offending stats on all the cases ruled by Nolan or any other judge that follows these types of decisions. We all know these people aren't deterred by prison in the first place. But surely minimum sentencing for some of these cases are totally justified?! I think the main thing people want is a sense of justice - that doesn't seem to play out some of the time.

McEntee's increase in maximum sentences last year was utterly pointless. There should absolutely be minimum sentences brought in.

Hardly good enough for the right of centre folks, they would argue probably for a mandatory leg chained event leading up to the plane  :laugh: but there's a case to be said for some type of proper system in place to deal with these.

Ya, the current model of voluntarily deporting themselves is a major issue and needs serious monitoring. Leg-chained up to the plane is perfectly acceptable. Scumbag should be treated accordingly.

Some may have the seen the videos of this guy standing in the middle of the road in Carrickmacross on Sunday evening waving a knife trying to get people out of their cars.



My thought on the madness was that he said he's not a threat to reoffend.

Why not make him serve his time and then deport him? Seems obvious enough.

I can't think of a worse way to get somebody out of their car than waving a knife at them

Ah it's an ancient and well respected custom in his country and we should do better by embracing it.
