  1. He needs the book thrown at him. But the Twitterati riling up these people while raking in cash from America, Britain and elsewhere to do it need to be investigated as well. This does not happen in a vaccuum. I have to presume IRA company commanders, who do not plant the bombs but give the orders to do so to Volunteers, are prosecutable for those crimes as well – We need to modernise our understanding of social media and incitement to hatred and violence, and treat the shot-callers of these astroturf terrorist movements with the same severity.

  2. I really don’t want these cunts to give Ireland a reputation as a place not visit. For the most part we are a welcoming nation but seeing headlines like these are very unsettling.

  3. I frankly thought Judge Nolan wasn’t aware prisons existed.

  4. Just 5 years for unprovoked attack and attempted murder. Great ! It’s a surprise Nolan didn’t send him home right away.

  5. I’m really disgusted and embarrassed for what happened to that poor lad, just randomly set upon because of his appearance from scum still riled up from the riots.

  6. Judge Nolan said if the victim had died, the level of intention for a case of murder would have been satisfied.

    If this is the case, he should have been charged with attempted murder

    He will probably be out of jail in about 3 years

  7. This is like… twice in a very short period where Nolan has actually correctly jailed someone instead of issuing a suspended sentence.

    Is he… finally reforming?

  8. The most disheartening part of that story was that he has 5 children 😒

  9. “Hogan a good work history as a bricklayer and a driver for a large supermarket chain, the court heard. He also has five children aged between three and 15.”

    threw his life down the jacks because the internet wound him up so much. pathetic really.

  10. “The victim, originally from Moldova but living in Paris for the last 17 years, had come to Ireland that morning for the weekend to meet a friend”

    That’s fucked up. We have so many tourists getting attacked in the city. And the attacker too is a homeless man. We need to fucking do something about the homeless already. Lock them I jail, house them, or mental asylum. Just do something about these crazy guys attacking innocents already

  11. “had come to Ireland that morning for the weekend to meet a friend who had travelled from Amsterdam.”

    For fuck sake, not even a day here.

  12. Without any jokes: is it physically possible to do anything with justice system in whole and this judge in particular in this country? Are they 100% immune? Is there any levers society or goverment can do to him or he is completely immune?

    This isn’t normal. This is absolutely opposite to normal. And this kills society of this contry, and does that fast.

  13. aye but this lad just had reasonable concerns that should have been listened to

  14. 29 Previous convictions including ones for previous knife crimes and he’s out walking the streets with a machete. Like what the fuck is going on, we need to do better than that.

  15. Facebook did it.

    The penny will drop some day.

    We do with Facebook what Americans do with guns.

    “It’s not Facebook , its the bad people.”

  16. As dark skin American, I’ve encountered quite a few folks who for some reason think I’m an immigrant here. Not sure what the deal is considering the amount of illegal Irish folks in the US that overstay their welcome period. You would think Irish ppl would be more welcoming, but kind of crazy to see this kind of mentality/hatred spreading here lately.
