pretty bad as comedy but what else can it be? Oh right. The law.

You know what’s sad about this - like the military/industrial system (Eisenhower warned about it in his Farewell Address), like the communists within our government system (State Department- Sen Joe McCarthy warned about it) - this criminal justice failure was predicted - I remember the guy (older, can’t remember his name or position) but he said, we are allowing the criminal to have more rights than the law he broke, the victim(s) but more importantly society. It is a very dangerous way to run the criminal justice system.
Indeed.
Be glad that the judge, despite acknowledging her ‘good’ qualities is going to give her a lengthy sentence. In IL - a woman took her child for (court ordered) visitation with his father and girlfriend despite the child’s pleas that he did not want to go because she was mean to him and his dad didn’t stop it. . .fast forward less than 24 hours later, neighbors call the police as they hear blood curdling screams and the stellar father of the child, blocks the door so his new squeeze can clean up the blood - after beating to death his son. The judge in this case - thought shock justice was best for this well meaning couple who just were overwhelmed after the ‘accidental incident’ and gave them 30 days.
Justice indeed.
30 rounds would be more appropriate.
But after reading Peiper’s latest, the next time I feel the need to go on a killing spree I’m going to the UK. 5 years for attempted murder plus gross indifference? Wow. Crime really does pay over there - she’ll be out in 2, maybe 2 1/2, and that with full medical care, jobs training, and probably a boob job while she’s in the pokie. Meanwhile her victim will be at least half crippled for life.
Wow, If I hadn’t read that it occurred in the UK I would have sworn that legal council (lawyer) and judge were sitting in an Irish courtroom.
Advice to avoid punitive legal action in Ireland after committing a horrific crime:
1) Your father was a druggie who abandoned your alcoholic, prostitute mother when you and your 17 siblings were very young.
2) If you are a male you’re going to heroin rehab after being a slave to the drug for 15 of your 17 years.
3) Your partner is 7 months pregnant with an 8th child. They may or may not be yours.
4) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT: Express genuine remorse for your mindless action.
5) Offer monetary compensation to the victim along with a written apology. (Even severely injured, the average Irish person will grab for the moola rather than see the criminal go to jail).
6) Ditch your hoodie and Adidis gear. Get a haircut and wear clothing that’ll cover all 57 of your tattoos and remove the 38 piercing studs from various parts of your anatomy.
7) Bring your prego current “squeeze” into the court, cover her tats and remove all 86 various nose, eye-brow, multiple earlobe and chin studs.
This advice should get you off the hook despite the fact that you have 98 recorded prior convictions for everything from tossing a kitten off a 7 storey building to beating a neighbour to a bloody, vegetative pulp.
Probation act applied, and you must promise to be of good character for 2 years.
Ireland: The Land of Saints, Scholars and IDIOTS!
