20 year old perp in custody – very recently out of jail… Still think he “mighta deserved it?”

I dunno….

Just heard the same thing. Don’t know how true it is but apparently it was a junkie who stabbed him for his phone. Scary that its not safe to let our kids walk the streets in broad daylight. They are naming the attacker on fb so he’s obviously well known around the town. I hope the young lad is ok.

@john

If it was for his phone it’s despicable disgraceful but until we know the full story we can’t speculate

Sorry Shane – are we all playing too many gory computer games or what?!? I was no angel as a young fella meself but… Are there parameters whereby a stabbing (through your clothes & skin and into your guts somewhere or other) may not be despicable???

We’ve all gone mad!!!

Well I’m not gonna make judgement John as I don’t no the story and as I said if it was for a phone it’s despicable!

@John Phelan Well said. A school BOY was stabbed by a MAN on his way from SCHOOL what is wrong here is that a MAN stabbed a 16 yr old BOY.

The only school up that area that would be match-up with the age of the youth, is St Josephs Secondry. CBS.

If the lad got out of the school at 4.00pm from the Termonfeckin Road premises and started to walk back into town via uncer the Viadsduct bridge, past the Cottage Hospital, into Scarlet St then down into the Chord Rd then the time when he got stabbed would sound right. The poor youth would be exactly where he would have been found exactly had he just got out of school minutes previous.

How any uneducated idiot can say here that the 16 year old automatically just deserved it for some reason, is showing their own stupidity of the highest order.

Shane Ellis – your exposing stupidity of the highest order.
Go bone up on the facts please above in some of the comments.

If the lad got out of the school at 4.00pm (standard time for some there) from the Termonfeckin Road premises and started to walk back into town via under the Viaduct Bridge, past the Cottage Hospital, into Scarlet St then down into the Chord Rd – then the time when he got stabbed would sound exactly right.

The poor youth would be exactly where he would have been found had he just got out of school minutes previous.

How any uneducated idiot can say here that the 16 year old automatically just deserved it for some mental reason before bothering to actually learn or know some real facts, is showing stupidity of the highest order – besides insensitivity to the family of the poor victim and to the actual boy.

Shane Ellis – you need to wake up and kop yourself on.

Your whole comment is making an assumption. The student could easily have walked from St. Mary’s, St. Oliver’s, or the Grammar School. And from each school numerous routes are possible. The report is of the basic kind, with little to no detail presented. It has not been revealed if the two knew each other, if it was a retaliation of some kind, or if it was in fact completely random. When we find out then we can all go on and pass judgement. Until then we’ll just have to mourn for the sorry state of a country where violence is becoming all too prolific.

It was Laurence’s street, which is a five minute walk from St. Mary’s, which lets out at 3.50 (How do I know that? I went there), and it’s also closer than St. Joseph’s. I live near St. Oliver’s, and it’s a fifteen minute walk into town, and the grammar school probably is a little far for the timing.

As for the circumstances you mentioned, do you know the attacker and the student personally? Because that seems to be more information than is currently available anywhere else.

I’m not condoning violence, or suggesting that the attack was justified, like it seems quite a few other people have done. I’m suggesting that instead of jumping to conclusions and writing a story from our imaginations we wait to see what actually happened. I’m suggesting we be democratic about it and pass judgment when it’s due and when were fully informed

Ehhh biggins St Marys is much closer to Laurence St than Josephs so there are other fellas schools in the area!!

@Wayne a young schoolboy (a child) was stabbed, nothing to do with being “democratic”. The details have been on the airwaves since this morning describing the incident as an “unprovoked attack” that is enough information for any right thinking person to condemn it . When are we ever “fully informed” about anything? What do you want, a CSI reconstruction- GET REAL and snap out of whatever strange judicial, over politically correct mindset you are locked into. Its wishy washy PC like you espouse that allows the criminal fraternity to act with impunity in this country.

Cutting. . sorry

It’s always been a bleedin kip

Turning into the shit hole the dogooders are letting it turn into

There is no other side to a story where someone gets stabbed!!

Unless it was done by a psycho for no reason whatsoever Somebody does know the story.

Ok – “deserved it” – lets say the SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SCHOOLBOY raped, beat up then tied up a member of the stabbers family before burning them to death inside their own house… Well then…. I’d go with the fact that he “deserved it” – being a 16 year old school kid though…. I’d say it pretty much rules my scenario above out! I’d say his Xbox, homework, acne worries & chasing the girl one of his mates is actually going out with renders him a bit busy for all that – please explain, somebody, how this kid deserves this….

I will when I no the circumstances! I doubt he deserved it and its probably labelled dispicable! I will label it that when I no
