Since he is 17, out of curiosity if Gardai caught him in the act and he came at them with the hammer and hatchet, would they legally be allowed to defend themselves or literally be required to run away?

Shocking, but that’s the way it has gone.
Fellah on here the other day saying it’s never okay to strike a child – that’s anyone under 18, legally – unless they are packing “a fucking samurai sword”.
So underage, with a hammer? Wouldn’t qualify for a dig. And a lot of posters didn’t put in any caveat, ie hitting a child is never justified.

Need to change the definition of the law to say between the ages of 15 to 18 is a greater charge than a slap on the wrist, for example actual custodial sentences,compulsory community service or army boot camp and a lesser charge than 15 years for example. Tried as a young adult with enough repercussions but not enough to end the chance rehabilitation and a normal law abiding life.
But hammer and axe job? No amount of litter picking fixes that, Bury that scrote under the prison.

Surprised he hasn’t entered a guilty plea, I’d imagine the defence want this dealt with quickly so that he doesn’t turn 18 and enter the adult system.
However, I hope the Children’s Court refuses jurisdiction. This case isn’t getting the attention that it deserves, the people who tortured that woman are sick.

Boy with a hatchet.
