doctrine of proportionality*
- i personally think its a ball of shite, and each crime has a victim and the perp should be sentenced for each crime.
see the windgap murders for why proportionality is a ball of shit

Ask Mick Galwey.
He would know alright what an error of judgment it is. But I donât think he could answer the question I posed
I saw there was a podcast on that case released last month.
Its absolutely shocking that the prick, raped and killed the mother, then set fire to the house and killed 2 children was eligible for parole, and applied for it, after 7 years. And he has served his 12 years now so looks likely to get out. 12 years for killing a mother and 2 children in the horrific manner he did is an absolute disgrace.

Youâd hope it was just being highlighted rather than getting a reference from a club but you donât know who may have provided any reference either and on whose behalf.
Youâd literally be fit to murder
I worked with this one before who came first in Ireland in her Chartered Accountancy exams, who came across perfectly normal and who visited the perpetrator of those Windgap murders in jail. Iâm not sure why I added in the bit about her coming first in her exams but anyway⌠She told another girl in the office that the partner who got killed and mother of the children had loose morals and she drove him to it. Ireland can be a strange place and while you would normally come to expect widespread condemnation of acts like these sometimes you would be met with a certain ambivalence or victim blaming.

Because she was a teacher I guess.

Iâd have thought that was obvious but the lads here donât want to hear it, giving out about a minutes silence, giving out about the Taoiseach going to the funeral, the Mayor of Galway travelled to Switzerland for Manuelaâs funeral, he was accompanied by the Ambassador.
I assume that if she had been a bus driver then their union would have organised something, if she worked in Super Valu theyâd have gone something.
Jesus youâd nearly feel sorry for lads who live their live with that type of cynicism in their heads/hearts

One minute silence in schools for a schoolteacher that was murdered is pandering to the mob according to you.
One minute, completely optional, just a suggestion.
I canât get my head around that, call me sanctimonious if you want.

To be fair one minutes silence in schools for a colleague killed in such tragic circumstances seems an entirely reasonable response.
