Is the defendant a bully or coward? According to your perspective he could be judged in this light? But I think frustration and humiliation of the defendant is another perspective. The defendant's honour and integrity were cruelly ridiculed by this woman. Moreover, the prevailing ethos of the past 40 years has given undue leniency to aggressive, disrespectful females to humiliate men mercilessly and to have the gall to make homophobic and transphobic comments without censure. I think the judgment in this case is fair due to mitigating circumstances. ⚖️🇮🇪

Men, real men, like yourself Terry, need to call out this injustice, wholly inappropriate sentencing. Regardless of prospect of success, the DPP must, in the public interest appeal the leniency of the sentence. Like you, I am a father to daughters and unconscionable that there would be no punishment here and the fact he is in the army should count against him even moreso, not act as mitigation. It also highlights the inconsistency of sentencing across a range of crimes, something needs to change and it is up to the nation to express its outrage, which in this case, it seems to be doing. My utmost respect to Natasha for not staying quiet after the sentence. Well done Terry, not the first time that you have called out how badly women are treated.

There's no way he will ever be allowed to continue serving. Not after this. Not after bringing complete shame and dishonor to his unit, his commanding officers, his entire group that are sworn to protect Ireland. There is ABSOLUTELY no way he can walk into Sarsfield Barracks in the same way ever again, knowing what he has done, as well as anyone else who occupies the same room as him. They will have heard of this, and you can be sure they will not welcome him back like a friend or a brother.

Can she sue him privately now ?

@mgcarmkm4520 Ай бұрын

She can sue him in a civil case as he has been found guilty in a criminal court.

@anthonyhassett Ай бұрын

He doesnt have anything to sue for, she would lose money. He will be off to join the military in another country.

Judge should be sacked what a disgrace

Limerick Judges seema to think it's okay for people in power to box the head off others. Kyle Hayes, another example.

People gathered today in protest at this sentence and in a couple of weeks people will gather to cheer on Hayes. The guy he beat must be wondering where his public outrage is

You make your own justice because the legal "system" is just a lucrative business.

Terry i think your words reflect the feelins of every person in ireland over this case and the dismay we feel over the treatment this young woman has been subject too by the perpretrator and by the justus system

@Shane-by2lh Ай бұрын

Very well articulated and I’ve shared it on my Twitter feed, it’s basically showing if your young and no previous convictions, you can get away with serious harm to other members of society. This cannot happen

@Phil-oj5nr Ай бұрын

We have had similar instances in New Zealand. Our legal system is probably similar to Ireland. Judges often seem to be de-coupled from public expectations.

Cronyism

@AfroGaz71 Ай бұрын

Don't think it's cronyism tbh. That Judge has previous history of handing out light sentences to violent crime.

@paulspencer4713 Ай бұрын

Judge needs to have all cases he’s sat on investigated, this sentence needs to be appealed

@JohnJKelly-of4dc Ай бұрын

I heard of a judge telling a non national that had he been Irish, he would have got a harsher sentence...(unless he was in the army, I guess) so clearly people need moving on here...on the judiciary

@Witchaven Ай бұрын

Citation, e.g. case name and court?

@JohnJKelly-of4dc Ай бұрын

@Witchaven i forget off hand, but I'll find it again. There's lots of freaky s*** going on with judges in the irish courts. Another where an unnamed non national climbed into an elderly woman's bed and rubbed himself against her in a sexual manner. He received a suspended sentence, drink was blamed. There's multiple cases..just do your research. Not forgetting the pervert judge who molested several victims too...he was disabled, he obviously overwhelmed his victims with alcohol or something...of course, when he was appointed as a judge, people came forward.

@mariadiggins7829 Ай бұрын

Are you stirred up enough to make a video on the suspended sentences foreign nationals have got in the last year??? Thought not. The media aren't all over those cases so most people don't hear about them...

Thank you for making this video. I read a newspaper article last night outlining many similar vicious unprovoked attacks on woman around Ireland with the same outcomes, suspended sentence. I'm ashamed to have been unaware of this epidemic in our own country. Very saddened, heartbroken for all those who have been let down in this way. I'm in my 70's. I should have known. I'm greatful to Natasha for opening so many eyes to the horrific extent of these miscarriages of justice. Enough is enough! It has to stop now. This judge needs to be answerable for his ineptitude. We know better. We need to do better.

@stephaniesamra7960 Ай бұрын

Total disgrace. It makes me mad.we should all make a complaint to the body overseeing the judges. This is not good. What about the recent case of Garda mark Doyle - lost his job and in prison for about 6 years.
