      Our justice system is a joke. Unprovoked kick and then running off leaving the man to die. How is this not a life sentence? Judges need to be held accountable

    3. OkCoconut3270 on

      Jezus, basically kicked someone just for a giggle, and then left him to die in the street.

      Maybe we need to start bringing back some more biblical punishments.

      5 years for taking a life ? Should be 25 year’s MINIMUM

      Shows the little respect both the justice system and this scumbag have for the elderly.
      Does anybody care anymore, it’s so sad that this stuff has to happen. Even more sad that there’s no real justice system to protect.

      The poor man and his family. There’s no justice there at all. Unprovoked attack on an elderly man. Kills him. With remission he’ll do just over 4 years. I really hope the DPP appeals the severity of the sentence.

      5 years For taking the life of someone’s grandad,father,brother,he’ll either walk out of there in a few years worse than he went in or if there’s any justice left in the Irish system this needs to be overturned and looked at again,a kick to the head,especially on an elderly person,is closer to murder than manslaughter.

      I never thought I’d see an article named “Man jailed after spinning kick cause pensioner’s death”….
      It just sounds cartoonish something you’d see in a video game or bad Hollywood film anyways RIP to the pensioner. As for Joshua Rush: go to hell and stay there

      We need to keep these types in isolation prison. They’re not humans, they’re animals. These types cannot be rehabilitated out of crime – let them suffer til the day they die.

      Is there any other country in europe that would give out a five year sentence for killing an elderly man for the laugh? Even if he just kicked him in the head for no reason but didnt kill him 5 years is laughable. In the USA this lad would be locked up for most of his life

    15. Affectionate_Art4277 on

      I’ve genuinely come to hate the Judges in this country. Far too easily manipulated into making bad decisions. 5 years for an unprovoked killing is madness. Should be minimum 20 to life. All you need is a sob story and suddenly you’re almost in the clear

      The government has to toughen sentencing via legislation to stop the bleeding heart judiciary if removing them isn’t an option. And build more prison space so there’s no excuses for this nonsense

      Holy shit, exactly when will the other show drop? It seems Ireland is hellbent on becoming a safe haven for violent offenders.

    18. YourFaveNightmare on

      Usual rubbish of giving the judge a hard luck story to get a nice lenient sentence.

    19. jacksqualk on

      We are richer than we have ever been, with less prison cells than in the past.

      Gotta keep putting the scroungers in A rated homes though.

      ‘Thanks for your vote’

      What a mallet. Poor aul fella. Imagine someone doing that to your dad.

    21. jdoyle87 on

      I don’t know why I read this article, everything about it just puts me into a foul fucking mood. He did the crime in June 2021 and he’s only getting sentenced now? He’ll be out of prison in quicker time.

    23. PlantNerdxo on

      ‘She said she would not consider it as analogous with a single punch attack, as had been submitted, but was “more serious”. She said the “callousness” of Rush leaving Mr McCaughley lying on the path was a “highly aggravating factor”.’

      And he only gets 6 1/2 years with 18 months suspended.!

    24. macker64 on

      Until the justice system gets really serious with these little thugs this sort of thing will continue as there is absolutely no deterrent.

      That thug will be released early for good behaviour while the pensioners’ family are deprived of their relative for the rest of their lives.

      One might ask, where is the justice in that!!!

    25. Quiet_Scientist_420 on

      This fucking scumbag kills an elderly man and o lt gets an effective 4 years imprisonment. The entire judiciary needs a kick to the head.

    26. crewster23 on

      Manslaughter is such a cop out in cases like this. Intent shouldn’t automatically assuage responsibility for actions. We see a constant avoidance consequences basically on the defence of ‘I didn’t mean to…’

      Wouldn’t let child use that excuse, why do we let grown ass arseholes use it?

    27. Dynamited15 on

      Surely the DDP will appeal this sentence. Took a man’s life for 5 years absolute scumbag

    28. WeDoingThisAgainRWe on

      Fuck me do people on this sub ever read the article. The DPP set the charge and the prosecution stated the level they wanted it set at. They made it comparable to a single punch. That decided where the sentence ended up. Nothing to do with the judge. If you have an issue write to your TD about what law changes and sentencing changes you want. Kicking judges on here makes no difference to how this works. The judge even said it should be considered more serious. 6.5 years sounds like where it would end up with no previous convictions or arrests and a range of 4-10 years. Needed to be set at a higher level in the first place.

      Not that it would be OK at 16 or 17, but this fucking clown is 26 years of age. 

    31. HcVitals on

      That’s a disappointing outcome. Murder, running away, lying about it trying to victim blame an elderly man. And a mere 5 years.

      What an embarrassment of a nation we are.

    33. South_Hedgehog_7564 on

      Five bloody years? I hope he gets his comeuppance from someone who has nothing to lose.

      >She said the court “didn’t take kindly” to the defence assertion that the victim may have had drink taken. “Whether he had or hadn’t, he was going home with a bag of chips,” the judge said.

      What the fuck kind of defense is that meant to be??? What a pisstake

    36. Old_Mission_9175 on

      5 fucking years for kicking a pensioner??

      How about we tattoo ‘i did an mma kick on an old age pensioner and killed him’ on his face before we let him out of prison ?

    37. CurrencyDesperate286 on

      Fucking horrendous.

      “The judge said Rush had given a “self-serving” account of what occurred, including that the victim spat at him but noted that he and the two other men crossed the road to where Mr McCaughley was walking. She also referenced a witness account that the victim was wearing a face mask at the time.

      She said the court “didn’t take kindly” to the defence assertion that the victim may have had drink taken. “Whether he had or hadn’t, he was going home with a bag of chips,” the judge said.”

      See above.

      “The judge noted the “compassionate” view of Mr McCaughley’s closest relative, his sister, who said she did not want to see anyone jailed for his death”

      I get that the best thing to do on a personal level is often to forgive and not hold on to anger… but someone should absolutely face jail for unprovoked assault causing death.

    38. sutty_monster on

      Why do I find it hard to believe that this fine example a productive member of society has no previous convictions…

    39. PoppedCork on

      Ah, he had a bad upbringing. What does that have to do with minimizing the killing of a man? I hope his three kids learn their day is an evil pos

    40. francescoli on

      Scumbag couldn’t even admit what happened, had to try to sully that poor man’s name.
