Now if they could throw away the key.

Lots of social media commenters love to moan about how their country is useless on crime and punishment but Ireland really takes the pee.
I do believe in rehabilitation over punishment in most cases (obvious exceptions) but with so much previous surely there’s a point where people are so deeply into a lifestyle that it’s almost impossible for them to get out of it.
Jail has long been a learning ground for small criminals to get contacts and learn new tricks and that’s one of the reasons I’m not a fan of just throwing someone behind bars but there has to be a solution to stopping people commit nearly 100 crimes and be free to carry on and their crimes get worse such as here.
Some people are just… not fit for society
98 convictions I mean come on. If he wasn’t able to be rehabilitated after the 3 rd or 4th one he’s not going to be .
I’ve been a heavy drinker and done a lot of drugs in my time but not once have I ever gotten into a physical row or considered taking my axe and breaking into a pensioner’s flat to kill them.
Makes no sense, why would he butcher a frail old man with an axe for no reason at all.
He was obviously an evil scumbag of a man, why was he provided with homeless accomodation so close to his victim? It appears he had 3 children by the time he was 20 years old and had been in and out of prison several times. Surely there’s more genuine cases than that of people deserving homeless accomodation? It’s funny that he could find some halting site to hide in with family in the UK very quickly after he murdered someone despite “Not remembering the event”.
this is a horrible story, he was basically cut and killed for no reason
