1. Martin Nolan and suspended sentences, name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait.

2. I’ve heard of putting someone on blast but that’s a bit much.

3. “The court heard the couple had since reconciled and remained in a stable relationship with Mr Healy accompanying his partner in court.”

   Jesus, I wouldn’t call that relationship “stable” lol

5. >”If the victim was a bit more unlucky, she could be in a different court. Everybody was somewhat lucky,” Judge Nolan remarked.

   >He added: “The mixture of firearms and alcohol just doesn’t’ go.”

   It would have been a *three* year suspended sentence. Also, that last sentence.. isn’t rocket science.

6. Complicated way of saying she shot him

7. Presumably she inflicted the injury not very long after she discharged the shotgun.

8. >A Kildare woman who ~~injured~~ shot her partner ~~after discharging~~ with a shotgun.

9. That headline could describe anything from him having a ringing in his ears up to life threatening injuries.

10. That’s one way to propose….

11. Isn’t that attempted murder?

12. 

    Everyone with alcohol, a shotgun and a straying partner like

13. Why such strange wording?

    She attempted to murder her partner by shooting him with a shotgun.

    Very very strange wording.

    And why only 2 years?

14. the real question is why these two clowns are storing a shotgun unsecured in their log cabin while pissed. and decent people with genuine cause to have a shotgun. cannot get a licence

15. Can’t be taking jail space away from kids who smoke weed at festivals, they’re the real criminals.

16. We’re doing patriarchy all wrong.

17. Is this that patriarchy thing i’ve been hearing about

18. Attempted murder with a gun. If roles were reversed he’d be in jail. Madness.

19. Martin Nolan at his absolute finest.

20. Legal systems tend to be heavily biased in favour of women

21. Honestly for the cost of maintaining the judiciary. We should just abolish it. It’s less than useless anyway

22. God forbid a woman do anything 😒

23. The legal system went extremely easy on a violent criminal? I for one am shocked.

24. >She recalled feeling the weapon was “long and heavy” as she was sitting on a bed.

    From another report

25. How the fuck can you literally shoot someone and not go straight to prison?

26. Is this patriarchy?
