Farmer was in his 70s and plagued with the p1key coming onto his land up to no good...used to sit up at night afraid he d get done in himself. ... similar case due up next year ... this time it s a barrister who did the shooting of an intruder...be interesting to see how that one goes
We did have a case near 20 years ago where a Mayo farmer shot a traveller...got done for manslaughter and was jailed but overturned on appeal as original trial judge didn't give the self defence option to the jury ...there is an element of self defence in our laws but has to be proportional
We ve a ridiculous situation over here,..Garda (cop) doing his job is being taken to court for reckless endangerment because 3 scrotes out on their nights work commiting robberies decided to drive the wrong way down a motorway and ran head on into a lorry and were burned to a cinder. All the cop was doing was trying to warn traffic. So now every oxygen thief out there is driving down against traffic as they know they won't be followed.... totally not right ...once they re on the wrong side of the law whether walking running or driving to get away they should lose every right the rest of us law abiding citizens are entitled to
