Genuinely thought this was another dog attack before reading further and realising it was an animal of the human variety.
“A TRAFFIC garda had part of his finger bitten off in a vicious attack in Ballymun on Friday.”
“The garda statement added that the officer was taken to James Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown to be treated for his injuries, described as serious but **non-life threatening.**”
You’d hope so lol
So was he on bath salts?
Bloody hell.
That’s just vicious and icky.
How on earth could someone do that?
It’s awful.
A hefty 2 year prison sentence suspended for 3 years to come. That’ll teach the accused a lesson.
If only there were concerned parents in Ballymun to tackle this rising issue..
That’s just absolutely horrifying. That scum needs a proper slap.
Ah the poor youngster. He probably just got a part time job and he wants to get into GAA. He’s also thinking of doing a certificate course. The judge should order him to pay €50 to the poor box and let that be it.
I keep seeing people claiming that crime has not gotten worse in Ireland.
But in the 80s and 90s there was not this type of violence towards the gardai. Back then, scrotes were afraid of the Gards. Now, it’s like a full-on assault because they know there will be no consequences. Back in the 80s and 90s there were still consequences.
Fcker should have their teeth pulled out
Be interesting to see how this goes. A scumbag with 100 prior convictions will get a slap on the hand and If it’s a tax paying, normal person, prison.
Suspended sentence incoming…
Blame the government for abolishing corporal punishment.
The problem is the lack of facilities in the area. Only for the local library and badminton club I don’t know how many fingers I would have chomped.
Ballymun is out of control
Classy as always Ballymun
By God, they’re going to get the mother of all suspended sentences aren’t they?
/s
So, Ballymun has cannibals now.
But Ballymun is filled with good people who are lovely and make pretty signs.
And the residents were protesting against immigrants a few weeks ago, moms are afraid to walk on the street… all these albinos turning the place into a dangerous neighbourhood /s
Judging from the sentences of assaults on guards I expect a slap on the wrist for the man…
The same people saying this is typical of Ballymun are on other threads saying we need the state to just build loads of social housing estates.
This is what happens when you don’t integrate social housing properly. It doesn’t work. Drugs, violence, gangs, crime etc.
Young people need positive role models. If they don’t get them they grow up to hate and fear Gardai and look at Government as an entity to drain for everything they can get.
Really should be a mandatory minimum sentence for assault of a Garda.
They can’t even carry a baton with them for situations like this. No wonder Gardai are leaving in their droves and aren’t joining up in the numbers like they used to.
These scumbags know the power is in their hands.
God that’s absolutely rotten. The guards get a bad rap (from myself included) but they really don’t get paid enough. It’s no wonder they’re struggling to get people to do it, not to mention the poor training. In other countries it’s a highly sought after job but not here it seems.
We are only a couple of incidents like this away from armed gardai. Horrendous to contemplate but not unjustified.
Throw the book at him – a slap on the wrist AND a suspended sentence. That’ll teach him.
if a dog did it, it would be destroyed before the day was done, anto does it and mental and moral gymnastics are done in court so as not to punish him
